Ellie Mae UPDATE...

For those who took the time to read about my sweet girl, thank you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your prayers and get well wishes, my lil darling has turned the corner at long last, a week today since her dental and the unfortunate episode of cat flu on top of it, despite being vaccinated,she has been a very sick girl and i have been very worried about her.

Today she looks a lot better, her eyes are not running as much, the sneezing is minimal and she is back to her crazy self, she is a bit of a nutty kitty, but that is what we love about her and makes her so darn special, she has the gleam in her eyes, and her fiesty nature is back, she is on the mend, she will have a check up on thursday for her dental surgery, and hopefully we will get the all clear then.

It has been hard keeping the girl inside for so long,as she is not used to it and is probably my worst cat to keep inside, but we did it, mind you she was so sick she only tried to get out then gave up and went to sleep, but today she has tried relentlessly to get out, to a point of driving me mad, i have taken her outside and sat with her in the sun on the verandah, so she seems happy enough,much warmer down under today and the sunshine is finally out, we have had bitter cold winds, rain and certainly not the type of weather you want your kitty out in especially when not well.

She made me laugh yesterday, she had used the litter box for a pee, and i knew she had not done the other for two days, and i could see that was what she wanted to do, i had already cleaned it out for her, and she jumped up beside me , i said well go on use the box and do your poo, and she jumped down and did exactly that, i swear that girl understands everything i say, she is certainly one of my more clever cats, but i am sure it was purely co-incidental,but sure made me smirk.

Again thanks for your support, both kitty and i are on the mend, but hubby is down with the fullen blowen cold now, hoping melissa does not get it next as she has very important internal exams next week, so keep those prayers and thoughts a going if you can please, thanks everyone.

I am glad to hear she is doing a lot better and on the mend.. I know you are relieved.

Hay, I am not surprised she listened to you and did what you told her. I had one that did everything I told him and I use to ask him if he was collage educated because he was so smart. I tested him many times, always taking care not to move my hands or eyes but look at him and calmly say "You need to move from there, I can't see the TV through you!"... he would give me that cat-attitude look and ever so slowly get up and move. Everybody saw him obey like a trained dog and nobody could believe it.

Good news indeed!

Prayers on the way for her continuing improvement and a good report at her check-up. Extra prayers added for hubby to get better quick and to keep that cold to himself!
