worried about crushed fingers than checking for sores.

I'm working on it, MOFF, I'm working on it.

He ate just a little of the chicken and gravy tonight. I'm going to the store tomorrow to buy turkey cooking things, so I'm going to try the veal that Debbie suggested, and buy another beef & gravy - he really dove into that one. I'm also going to shove some turkey sticks down him later....well....unless he decides to get smart and eat it on his own that is. Other than that, nothing new tonight. No tootsie rolls and he gets around a little bit, but not much. Still no purrs or head bumpies. But we did have a good snuggle tonight which made me happy. I really miss our nightly snuggles, and I also miss having him in bed all night, but I can't risk having him jump out of bed while I'm sleeping, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

I'm so glad to hear that Tubby is starting to feel a little better.
One day at a time Tubster.

You're such a good meowmie Debbie. I'm sure in no time you will have your Tubby back to good health.

I am so happy that you go a second opinion for Tubby. i hate to think about it if you hadn't of. I will keep thinking about Tubby and praying for a speedy recovery. And I think the second opinion vet would become my new vet.
Doo=^..^=

Oh, I'm SOOOO happy to hear that Tubby is improving!!!! Prayers have been coming your way from our house and will continue til we get the all clear signal. Dear Tubby, you've given your meowmie and your pawpaw much to be thankful for in the last couple of days. Keep eating and continuing to get better, little one.

Debbie, I LOVED your happy dance people and all the other little figures you had on your update e-mail. Too cute!!!!!

Just signed on to give you a quick uppydate. Sheesh, I've been so busy today that I almost wish I would have had to work so I could relax a bit!

Anyway, so far today, Tubby has eaten everything I put in front of him.....except fresh roasted turkey right out of the oven. Now I know he's sick. But in case you missed that, he ate everything, with no prompting from me except a few re-positionings of the plate to make it easier for him to get. Seems he won't eat it if he has to stand to eat, or if he has to stretch his neck to far to eat. We're beginning to think he's milking this for all it's worth.

However, still no tootsie rolls, still no purrs and still no head bumpies, but a little more movement - and the eating. I'm looking forward to the follow-up visit this Saturday.

Oh, and I spent an hour at the grocery story today, not buying the makings for a turkey dinner, but trying to figure out what kind of baby/cat food would appeal most to a sick cat. Evidently I picked right. Got some Fancy Feast - something I would never give him otherwise, but the vet says if he eats it, give it to him, sooo.....

Well, gotta go, busy - long - day tomorrow, so everyone have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving. I know there is a certain big black boy that I will be saying thanks for all day long.

Debbie, I'm so glad to hear that Tubby is finally eating on his own and getting better. When I feed Storm the turkey sticks I cut them into three pieces and them mash them with a fork. I also but some of the geletin on top of it. Have a great Thanksgiving and I hope that things continue to improve with Tubby.

So happy to hear the good news about you Tubby. Kelcee is a bit sad that she doesn't get all those special treats !!!

[catcrazylady]
