Up and Down
Cat Couch here:
Well, Chatham is eating well, and is pooping big poops. He fights the pills harder than ever, which I take to be a good sign. His back legs continue to give him trouble, and he's fallen and slipped a few times. He is still able to get up and down off our bed to get to the litter box, with the help of a big footstool. For the first time in over 20 years I'm sorry that we have mostly hardwood floors - a short-napped carpet would be easier for him to get traction on.
We took in another urine sample, hoping for more improvement. Unfortunately, the infection hasn't cleared up any further. Fortunately, it hasn't gotten any worse. We've been assured that this is not unusual for winter-time illnesses. I'm off to get more medicine now.
Thanks for all of your good wishes and kind comments.

yay for eating and big poops!!! not so yay for slipping and tipping. At least you can still get up on the bed and in and out of the litter box. That's a good thing. We continue to purray for you, our wise Meezer furriend!
purrs. I'm been keeping Chatham in my thoughts.
Just checking in to see how Chatham is doing. We here, in the Big Piney Woods, are thinking of him and sending purrs of love.
We hopes Chatham feels better real soon - have a Happy Meezer Monday!
P.S. - we thinks you were a cutie kitty baby!
Chatham sounds like he's doing pretty well, all things considered. Wish him a happy Meezer Monday for Me.
Hi Chatham - we all keep thinking about you! More anti-biotics can't be fun, but it sounds like you are doing better. Winter is no fun for us senior catizens! -- Alberta
