Reading Minute

I read from the Chicken Soup for the soul series. The edition of the siries is the Chicken Soup for the Cat and Dog Lover's Soul. The short story I read was called Medicine Cat. This story is about a women who moves in with he daughter because she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The old woman is told that she only was a few more weeks to live and that is it. Usually, the woman doesn't like her daughter's dog and cats, but for some reason, when she moved in, her daughters cat, Otto immediatly warmed up to her. The unusual calico senses the old womans pain and spent every second possible with her. Weeks passed and the woman was still living far past the expectations of her doctors. The woman was soon able to get up on her own and walk around, with the nightly routen of getting Otto fresh water. Three years passed and when she went back to the doctor the cancer had vanished. Both the woman and her daughter believe Otto had become a son like figure in the ailing womans life and was an incentive for her to keep fighting. Today, they are both still alive, happy and together.
