What a sweet-looking girl!

What an absolutely lovely girl Priscilla is! I hope that she will improve and have much more time with you.

That was sadly my first clue that my Princess was going blind.
But blind is not the same for our Pets as it is for ys.
They use the senses of smell and feel and hearing far more than they so sight, and Priscilla will still be able to navigate around your house.

Thank you for the compliments and prayers and good wishes and kind thoughts, Sandra, Candace, Jennie, and Gary.

I think we are going to go to Michigan State. Dr. Lewis called me this evening and told me she talked with an ophthalmologist there who thought it was definitely a good idea to find out what is going on here and what we can do about it. Dr. Lewis will call them again tomorrow to set up an appointment for Priscilla and me.

I told her of my questions on how much to do when her kidneys are so bad. But Dr. Lewis reminded me how calm Priscilla is with such things as being carried and being taken in her carrier in the car, so the trip wouldn't be that stressful for her. And it would be better to determine what is happening, than to have her suddenly go blind or develop some awful complications because we don't know and haven't done anything.

Priscilla seems a bit better and more sprightly this evening.. She was a little less resigned when I picked her up to give her her evening feeding and then subQ. Afterwards she ran off. I found her not on her (formerly my) pillow.. now she's on top of some clothes piled on top of a narrow shelf! It would be a bit tricky for any cat to get up on it without having the clothes (and her) fall off.

Thanks again, everyone,

Pat and Priscilla

Pat & Pricilla-

I know what you two are going through, since my & Fluffy are going throught the very same ordeal. This is not easy for either of us - and even harder since our kitties cannot talk to us.

I wish you both the best.

Thank you, Bunny. I was just looking at the thread about your dear Fluffy. Thank you for your good wishes and your kindness and generosity in thinking of us when you are in so much pain over your own beloved boy.

Priscilla and I are sending you and Fluffy hugs and prayers and all the spiritual encouragement we can muster.

Hugs and purrs,
Pat and Priscilla
