    I'm glad that you were able to get her to your vet. Hopefully she'll start feeling better soon. I also hope that none of your other cats get sick. I know how hard it is to try to isolate cats when you have a multi-cat household. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

    Thank you, Tracey. I really hope none of the others come down with this too.

    Great news -- SPARKLER CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE BED AND ATE A WHOLE BOWL OF WET FOOD!!!!!

    AND SHE LET ME PET HER AND SKRITCH HER AROUND THE EARS, AND SHE PURRED REALLY LOUD!!!!!!

    I guess she has forgiven me for all the indignities I subjected her to earlier today. WHEW!!!

    Well, she didn't come out for breakfast this morning. I left a bowl of crunchies under the bed, and I hope she came out while I was away and got at least some of it.

    And I hope and pray she will come out later and eat while I'm there and let me pet her and give her more lovies.

    Thanks, Maggie and Candace and all our dear friends.

    I haven't seen her at all today. I'm quite worried. I left some dry food under the bed, and that has been eaten, but whether by her or one of the others, I don't know.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get her to come out from the bedsprings? Appetizing food aromas don't seem to do the job.

    Thanks, and please say some prayers for my little Sparkler.

    I would get a book and a pillow and just sit on the floor near where you think she's hiding for as long as it takes for her to approach you. Having a dish of something smelly in font of you - like tuna fish - may help! Prayers for her and you!
