I decided on this tea for the afternoon after I got back from the vet because I wanted something soothing and comforting.

My sweet little Dixie kitty is very sick. So sick that she has to be seen by a kitty cardiologist. An X-Ray today revealed that her heart is irregularly shaped and also in a different place than most kitties hearts are. In addition, the Xray shows a hazy shadow around her flattened heart and her white cell count is extremely high. It’s possible that she has an infection around her heart. I should be receiving a call from the vet any time now to tell me what the cardiologist thinks.

I know she’s getting the best possible care at the animal hospital, but I wish she was here so I could pet her and love her.

Anyway, this tea is marvelous.

Edited to add: The vet called, Dixie’s condition is treatable. Expensive, of course, but I won’t be having her put to sleep. Suddenly, this second pot of Golden Orchid tastes even better!

Nicole

Oh, poor baby kitty. Good to know she can be treated.

Lindsay

Aww, kitty. Glad it’s treatable!

Tealizzy

Poor kitty! I can’t even imagine. Hope everything goes well and she gets better soon!

Anlina

I’m glad her condition is treatable! Kitties are so precious.

Thank you! I love all my cats, but Dixie is extra special. She was rescued from a hoarding house. She’s probably inbred, and that’s the cause of her internal organs being a bit off. If I can just force these meds into her we might be able to beat this infection and give her many more years of comfortable life.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
