She seems to have put on weight and has her usual appetite back, but she did upchuck last night. I found this out this morning much to my dismay as she had politely projected off the edge of the chair she was on, but unfortunately piled it all on a quilting project I had left on it's tray on the floor next to said chair. Sigh. She has been food beggin again, so hopefully it's temporary, but I'll keep an eye out for the next few days. You can't imagine (or maybe you can ) trying to wash kitty barf out of a pile of 3" squares of fabric!!! Fortunately, it's just a practice piece. Even if not, it wouldn't have mattered, as what saddened me the most was to see the same kind of upchucking going on. I'll let you know how she progresses - and I keep your very wise comments in mind, Jen - thank you! At 17, she IS getting up there.
