A Happy Moment for Harvey

29/08/2019 by Marjorie Dawson 6 Comments

Today I want to share a brief happy moment that includes a first for Harvey.

I will be using this picture again but want to shine a spotlight on it now as this is a special happy moment. Here’s why.

Harvey has taken over four years to be confident around Dash Kitten dad Paul. For a long time, he refused to be stroked or brushed by anyone except me.

On Dad’s lap for the first time in four years!.

This smartphone photograph was taken a few days ago after Harvey was over the worst of his dental extractions. He had been for his follow-up check and continues to look as good as a stage 3 kidney disease cat ever could.

It is lacking in focus and was taken from about 2 metres (about 6 ft.) away, and in a hurry but, as I have said previously in a post, it is a magic moment and capturing it had little to do with quality.

Here Harvey calmly walked on to Paul’s lap and enjoyed chin rubs and head scritches for a long time before stepping on to the heated bed covered in a fleece blanket. Paul was thrilled as this was Harvey’s own idea not him patting his lap and encouraging Harvey to take the step.
