Oh Honey, go ahead and get excited!! Such a wonderful progress report!
I agree with you completely about granting her as many wishes as you
can. Such a nice image; picturing her out on the porch in the fading
light grooming her kitty self. These are the images we hold in our
hearts, no matter what the future brings. You can't see it, but I'm
grinning. I'm going to go smooch one of my babies in her honor,

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.
