I'm glad that the vet didn't think it was anything serious. Those massages sound pretty nice actually. I think he might grow to like them and may milk this thing. Seriously, I know you are pretty relieved and we all are too. Getting the antibiotics down should prove a little more challenging and not as much fun for him as the back rubs. What is a normal kitty temperature? I think it's around 102 for dogs but I'm not even sure about that.
