Thanks for all your love and prayers for Pipers and I. Piper the Pouncing Puma is doing much better. She swatted my cheek yesterday morning in order to get me up! I let her outside yesterday. I know the vet said not to, but it greatly improved her mood. I take her back on Monday for a follow up. She's still stubborn about taking her pills. Thank goodness that ends on Satuday night!
She is eating and drinking. Not as much as her normal self but getting there. She weighed 7.3 lbs. when I took her in. I'm guessing she has dropped a little bit since then. So I am feeding her tuna, poached chicken breasts and lots of treats. I hope she doesn't expect it everyday.
I cooked myself a good dinner last night. Finally broke down and had some red meat. I did bale out on friends for dinner because I was just exhausted. They ended up cancelling anyway, so I don't feel so bad. Last night was the first night in a week I was able to get some real rest. Today I am taking it easy again. A few more chores and phone calls. Perhaps a short walk to get bread and milk. But the weekend will be tough at work with back to school. I really don't need to get any exercise. Plenty of it working there. Easy does it is the name of the game right now.
Thank you all again for the love, support and prayers during this trying time. I feel your loving arms around Pipers and me. It means everything to me. Love and blessing to you and your families. Much love to all of our furry friends out there.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

So glad to hear that Pipers is feeling better! Also that you are taking care of yourself!
Thanks for the update!
Norbert and Midori would share some of their special "treats" they have been catching lately with Pipers if they could. I just with they would not find it necessary to leave the "evidence" near the back steps to show me how they are doing their jobs!
Such good news. They are always there for us. I sit with Spot (the cat). She has been wild all summer when my son comes home. She walked in on her own tonight and is now hugging me with her nose tucked under my arm.
I know what you mean about being exhaused. Loss IS exhausting, change is exhausting.... I have yet to really cook myself a good meal since I've lived in my apt., but am getting invites from daughter, and her hub's family to come over and eat...which I gladly do.
Keep on taking care of yourself, and that will help Pipers too.
It has only been a short while, and yeah, keep on being easy wih yourself. That's hard for me to remember!
I had to put down my kitty in 1982. She wasn't my first pet or my last, but she was special. She was with me as a palm kitten, when I was 12 years old, until I was a young adult at age 24. She got leukemia. I've had other cats since, but I knew she'd never be replaced. Haven't had pets for quite a few years now, I'm just away from home too much, and my allergies have not gotten any better with age. Just not practical for me to have pets - house plants I can barely keep alive. But I do know lots of people with kitties and I like to visit them and get my kitty fix now and then.
Today I am taking it easy again. A few more chores and phone calls. Perhaps a short walk to get bread and milk. But the weekend will be tough at work with back to school. I really don't need to get any exercise. Plenty of it working there. Easy does it is the name of the game right now.
