Jen, you have such a big heart and are such a wonderful person. Thank you so much for taking this sweet girl in and giving her a loving caring home for the rest of her days. She reminds me so much of Peanut as she got older - long hair that takes maintenance that the old girl can't give herself, and so very frail, and especially the little puppy diapers. I always have a bittersweet smile on my face when I see pics of Peanut with her little diapers. She was such a trooper in her old age and never complained about anything, and I have a feeling Taboo is going to be the same for you once she settles in and knows she is loved again.

Please tell me she is doing well now and pics of her with her new fur growing back in please?

Hi all. I wanted to update on Taboo.

She gained an entire pound over the last month. Good for her!!!

She did need to go from 1/2 a pill once a day to 1/2 a pill twice a day for her thyroid. but that is OK. Hopefully we'll get the right dose after her next thryoid blood test.

She's a spunky little girl. But she knows the routine already. She knows about feeding time twice a day and that she must get the pill first. She growls and grumps when I handle her, but I don't care...it's just her way. She takes the pills well enough. that is all that matters.

She keeps the other cats in their place, too (LOL).

She sleeps in a carrier (by her own choice) most of the day, but still likes the occasional catnip fix.

She makes me smile.

I'll work on getting new pictures.

Jen, Taboo is a precious bundle. Kudos to you for the love and care you have given her. As I read from post one through to today's post I had my heart in my throat. I am so happy She is doing so well.

You definitely have a love for the little ones. Just wish more folk were that way.

Bless You!

Jen,I'm so glad to hear that she's gained some weight and is doing well on her thyroid medicine.

She sounds like a little feisty girl but I'm sure that this is the reason she's still around too. You're taking such good care of her and I hope she'll be with you for many more years to come.

Jen, I thought about her the whole time I was gone and been meaning to ask you about her and for possiably another newer picture. I worried about her the whole time I was on the boat but cell service was to bad to get online very much. I did check one time but it took so long to pull it up, I didn't try again.. I am so glad to hear she is doing well... ((((HUG)))) her for me.
