The kittens are coming!

So many cats I have had in my life....no ******* fip. Never even bloody heard of it.

Sebastian all gloomy again.

He's asleep on my tummy....let me put covers over him a bit. He must find it so cold without Viola to snuggle with.

I'm assuming she's been given steroids?

I've been on vacation for more than a week, but I'm still checking this thread everyday. So concerned for the three of you, especially Viola. (((((hugs)))))

She's being given a lot of stuff.....I assume steroids though I am not sure.

It's very hard for them without the blood results re the fip.

Whatever the hell it is it seems to be untreatable.

Thank you for your thoughts Eva....I find this time I can use all the kindness I can get and I'm sure as hell not too proud to accept it.

Well, good, because you've got it.

So how's your Sunday been, Deb?
"Opens" all over & done with?
How is Sebastian?
How are you?

Keeping an eye, reading up, thinking of you....

Oh my....vet rang just before six. They have been there for Viola three times on a Sunday.

They gave her all her treatments for the night....which included syringe feeding so the antibiotics wouldn't hurt her poor intestines any more....AND SHE IS HOME FOR THE NIGHT!

Her temp only went up to thirty nine tonight.

She is exploring with a passion....coming backt to kiss me regularly.

I was worried that Sebastian would see her as a stranger because she smells so weird....but he's being a little trouper! He's flummoxed by the whole thing but he's being a darling.

Even if it's only for one last night my baby is home.

Opens went pretty well.

The other vendors are offering more time, so on we troop.


My baby is home for the night!

Thank you for your thoughts.

I hope you will have many more nights with your little darling.

She's home for the night. Smiling. And maybe a little teary. (Don't tell anybody.)

Good. Enjoy. And when you give her a hug, kiss, stroke, please make one of them from me.

At the moment one is a miracle Set!

She stinks of liver cat food....worst kiss I ever had with her!

Sebastian is adjusting....begun to lick her....both hanging around a thick towel I have placed under the heating. She is SO happy to use the scratchers!

It's hard...apart from the shaving and sore places from the drips, and being all curly from the wet cloth after she covered herself and all of us with liver cat food she looks almost normal....except her pupils are wildly dilated.

I am leaving them to settle by the heating...cat heaven!

She has already given me her lovely somersault greeting.

The vet said that, since she has come to trust all the staff, they can do almost everything they need to do with her without holding her....when they have to hold her, she fights...but guess what....her claws stay in and she never bites.

Blood oath! And I'm going to give her one from Setanta! It'll really piss him off.

I can't believe it's actually happened!

Hang on, yes I can. You just said it did!

That's wonderful, Deb!


Now I've gone all weepy.
But in a good sort of way.
Enjoy your time together, Deb.

Very pleased to hear that!
Phew.

You're weepy? You should see me!

Hey....I know you have been through the wringer with this stuff..thank you so much for being with me and Viola through this.

Let's hear it for the people at the Glen Osmond Vet Clinic!!!!!!!!

They did this for my baby and me.

Hey you guys at the Glen Osmond Vet Clinic. Youda best.

Yes, well done, Glen Osmond!
(I hope you read this & it makes you proud as punch! )
Have a lovely night, Deb, Viola & Sebastian.
Gosh this is nice!

They are curled up under the heat.....as normal.

Of course, apart from kissy visits, I have lost out to the heater!

I am having my first food of the day.

And whatta day!
I'm not surprised you haven't eaten till now.
Two bloody openings & now this.
Relax, unwind & enjoy it, Deb.

I AM! had woollies curled up asleep on my legs.

Viola ever so gradually relaxing.....she has to make sure everything in the place is there and re-familiarize herself. Initially very tucked up to sleep.....gradually twitched less and curled up.

Then we all got up and had special treats....she had a tiny bit of yoghurt and some chicken....then followed me around and had a big explore. Sebastian can't quite take it all in but he's being a lovely gentleman.

I have now got into bed and will be happy in whatever happens from here. They are both out doing something or other, but I expect them back soon.
