@msolga,
Well, some good news on Miranda!!!
She began coughing again last week, and, when I took her in, the vet sent her blood off to see how her kidneys were doing.
To our immense surprise, they were actually BETTER.....results within normal range!!
She's going back in on Thursday (Oz time) to have her lungs looked at again...well, listened to....and that day is, as it happens, her fifteenth birthday.
I have to say, she still looks like a young cat.
If you really know, you can tell she's had strokes, but you really have to look.
And, however long she has to go, she is the HAPPIEST little cat you ever saw.
I can never get a real sense of her breathing, because, whenever she sees me, she is talking, or at least purring. Her tail is so high it is often almost curled over her head when she walks around.
She adores to sleep on me and be cuddled.
Talking to her and stroking her makes her positively babble with joy.
She purrs in a soprano trill and sometimes almost chokes herself with the enthusiasm with which she does so.
Happy Birthday for Thursday Miranda!!!
I am so glad I spent all that money. The slice of happy life she has had since has made it worth it.
