We had another appointment today at the vet's for a third steroid injection and blood work to check whether it works.

Well, even half an hour before we needed him Filou was gone. Both of us were looking desperately for about an hour. We even rang the bell of neighbors etc because we thought (although we should have known better) he might have escaped.

One moment when I was on my knees looking behind the chaos under Siegmar's desk he came from behind. No idea from where.
But of course he did not want to be trapped. Took us another 15 minutes - 2 people chasing a little kitty cat through the bedroom, poking with a broomstick under the bed etc

Of course we were late for our appointment but the vet understood. She is amazingly good with cats and managed to get his blood while he was rather quiet. The urea in the blood is a little better which is a good sign because it shows that he is reacting. He then got another injection today and the next one will be when we come home from holidays.

Regarding his energy and stamina you should not think he is sick. BTW he got my blood- you should see my arms

Oh Filou Baby, why don't you know that we only want the best for you?
