The past couple of days, Mimi has been 'off her feed' so to speak, only
nibbling at the food instead of gobbling it down with her usual gusto (I
guess she decided to put herself on a diet in order to lose some weight, so
we won't call her "butterball' any more).  She's also started to get a bit
'scruffy' looking.  Her skin is still very elastic, so she's getting plenty
of fluids.

Last night, she acted like she was going to puke (but didn't) - so,
remembering back when we had Ivy & her CRF, we decided to give her a
Pepcid - actually, about a fourth of a pill.  An hour after that she ate
some, not much.  At 3:30am I got up to do the bathroom run, and Mimi was in
one of the kitchen chairs (I gave her a pat on the head before I went
tinkie).  After the obligatory bladder-emptying, I stopped at the computer
to check things out (a habit I find hard to break), and after about 30
seconds, I hear crunching behind me.  Mimi is chowing down.  When she's
finished, when wanders over to a scratching post to sharpen some claws.
About then DH comes in, and ask about her.  She immediately trotted over to
him so she could rub his ankles.  More movement than she's made in days!  We
took her back to bed with us, and she settled in to give herself a bath.
About an hour later, she was walking around the bed, so I got up and took
her out to the sofa.

When DH's alarm went off & he got up, he said she came running to the
bedroom door.  After DH left for work, I left the bedroom door open and lay
in bed reading.  Mimi joined me, leaning on my ankles (after conquering them
with a kitten-nip or two) and proceeded to give herself another bath - until
she drowsed off.

DH just called me from work, and Mimi followed me into the kitchen - and she
'meeeeeeeeeee' at me!  She proceeded to lead me back in here to the computer
so I could watch her eat, and she is now meatloafing under the 'sun' created
by my desk lamp (the only sun around here for a couple of days, too - it's
been yucky wet weather so much, I was wondering if our complete neighborhood
had been beamed to the Seattle WA area).  She is also looking less
'scruffy'.

Purrs that Mimi continues to get over her upset tummy, and a visit to TED is
not needed.
