Lorraine, Priscilla says thank you and I do too for the compliments.. isn't she just such a darling girl?! Thank you for putting her picture in the message regular size, too.

And thanks, Sandra.. She continues to do well. She comes running when I start serving up the food. She may not actually eat a whole lot of it, but she at least licks off the flavoring as much as she can, and I supplement when needed with syringed MaxCal.

A few days ago I opened a can of a new treat: Max Cat Gourmet Classics Seafood & Tomato Bisque.. She was the first one there (followed immediately by 4 others, of course). I served her first and she dove right in. It's little chunks in a sauce, and she licked off all the sauce, then would pick up a chunk and work it in her mouth, then drop what was left of it back in the dish and pick up another one, until they were all milked (so to speak). (Her leftovers did not go to waste, by the way.)

She goes back next Wednesday for her next checkup and weighing-in.

Another thing I want to have checked out then: She has worn a collar and ID tag for years.. Well, when she got so thin and scraggly I took it off her. Then, when she started regaining weight and getting more chipper, I put it back on.. and noticed that the fur had worn away where the collar had been, mainly on the top of her neck but some all around, so I took it back off. I assume that has just occurred since these recent ailments, though I had no reason to check under her collar before this all happened. But I want to find out just what this is and if we should do anything.

That's the latest! Thanks, everyone, for all the love and support and good energy, and love and purrs to you too,

Pat and Priscilla
