Tubby's having a bad night :-(

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks everybody. He's still sleeping, but has switched positions about 4 times - almost like he can't get comfortable.

Slick, I keep forgetting about Max doing that and I guess it's possible. Tubby normally sleeps with me at night but gets up before I do, so it's possible when he jumped out of bed he strained something.

Cubby and Jods, thanks for the insights on the arthritis. I remember hearing stories like that so that's what I was hoping it was. Jods & Cubby, is there anything you do when it flares up bad? Like, if I put a heating pad under his bed, would that help or will that make it worse?

And thanks to everyone for the good thoughts, prayers and especially the hugs. I need them right now.

Oh, and Peanut is being a very attentive little girl tonight. I'm on the computer doing school work and she hasn't left my side all night - not even when her daddy came upstairs. It seems she can tell I'm upset and wants to assure me that she's doing good and is her bouncy sweet adorable self - so look at me meowmy!
