Nina, Thank you with all our hearts. I have nothing but good things to report today. Mama Kitty *almost* seems back to normal! Not quite -- but she's getting there. I am so afraid to get excited knowing how this disease can be -- but today she has more stamina and she is very alert. Yesterday she wasn't steady on her feet and had to rest every few feet if she wanted to change locations. Today, however, she went outside twice on offical kitty kat business (she's never accepted the liter box as a way of life) and she didn't have to lie down once along the way. (I keep her inside during the day and I bring her in at bedtime...which is a big transition for her being an outside kitty at heart.) She did have a bite of red clay from the front yard deli this morning and tonight - but I figure she probaby knows what she needs better than I do. She *just* ate some dry food and some fancy feast! Not a lot -- but she had some dainty bites of each and so I am so very proud of her. I didn't even have to coax! It's almost time for her transdermal doxy so I'll bring her inside soon -- I just know that every day is prescious and she needs her time to soak in all the sights and sounds. She wanted very much to rule the front porch when I got home and I saw no reason why she couldn't since she is so good about staying within our property bounds. She loved watching the sprinkler going around and caught the last hour or so of sun for kitty sunbathing. What really encouraged me was that she is grooming herself. That is always a good sign. Thank you so much to everyone for the love, care and well wishes. elizabeth On 3/22/07, MacKenzie, Kerry N. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear Elizabeth, > So glad to hear Mama Kitty has got relief and is feeling well enough to > eat salmon! > It's just great that her fever has gone! > Keep us posted when you get time, and big hugs to you both, Kerry > > >Mama Kitty and I just got home from the vet's office.
