How is Baby Boo today???

Baby steps, as you said, Slick, baby steps. He's been moving around the house a little, not much, but it's encouraging nonetheless. He mainly stays in the patio room but previously all he did was lie in the same spot except for when he needed to use the litterbox. His appetite also has improved a little. He comes when called for breakfast but if someone pushes him out of the way, he leaves and lets them have his food rather than hold his ground as he used to, so I'm going to put him in a separate room at breakfast time so that he gets all his breakfast. I just wish he'd purr and meow. He once was a regular purr machine and he'd talk so much that he'd make me laugh. He just seems to have lost his energy.

Night before last he and Pidge were at the bottom of my bed and she never leaves his side. When the other is sick, they're always there for each other. She snuggled in extra close and Boo didn't want to be bothered and started to walk away. Pidge let out this sound as if to say "Well!" and she smacked him! Then he did walk away and she went after him and kept smacking him as they were walking as if to say "You get back here! How dare you walk away from me!" It was so cute to watch. Or maybe I need to get out more, I don't know.

Thanx for asking, Slick.

Prays coming for Boo, I'm sorry to hear about him. I hope the vet soon finds out what's going on with Boo.

about your pidge getting upset with him for not wanting pidges love...that would make me kind of chuckle too.
And no,your doing fine (about not getting out enough)
I act the same way with mine...only much much worse than you

Right after I posted this, I thought I'd better feed the Fur Posse but I wanted to brush my teeth first. When I came out of the bathroom, Boo was on the stairs waiting for me. As I was opening the cat food cans, he jumped up on the counter top and meowed! He was so hungry that he started eating right out of the dish on the counter top so I left him there and fed the others on the floor as usual. When he was finished, he jumped down and started eating from the other dishes. To say that I'm pleased is putting it mildly. This made me so happy! I wanted to take a pic of him on the counter top eating but I didn't want to do anything to freak him out so I left him alone. Wow!

I had to chuckle when reading your account of Pidge/Boo. That must have been so darn cute to watch. Where's the camcorder when you need it - or in my case - wish you had one to start with!

Glad Boo is feeling better this morning. Let's just keep fingers and paws crossed that he continues with this improvement.

Good Boy Blackie Boo!!! You keep it up, ok?

[Prairie Purrs]

Good for you, Boo! Just keep on chowing down.

I'm glad he's doing better!!! With every update I had to cuddle my girls for a bit. I tried to get them to promise me they'd never get sick but I don't think they understood me

I am so happy to hear how well he ate this morning. The story of him and Pidge made me laugh. I could just picture it. LOL
Keep it up Boo!

[Anikaca77]

I'm glad to hear it maybe those meds just needed time to work out or something.

I hope he continues to show improvement!
