Just thought I'd post a bit of good news among all the bad news and the
worries. We're purring hard for everyone out there. The cats are
especially happy to be home right now, since we went to see TED today
for their annual shots. TED checked them over and pronounced them
remarkably fine for such elderly cats. Of course, Frank was so scared
that she couldn't palpate his tummy properly, since it was too tense,
but she still said he's a handsome cat for his age.
Ever since we got home, both cats have just been purring and sleeping
(as if this was a particularly exhausting trip) and purring. Not even
Frank was angry at me!

It was great news, yes, and I was so happy and rushed here to boast
about my healthy babies, but now Nikki seems to be having a reaction to
the vaccine. :o( She's been very subdued since last night, didn't even
eat her kibble, which has *never* happened before. She even felt a
little hot earlier, though she doesn't any more. Yesterday she hid under
the bed, but today she's at least slept on top of the bed at times. If
she's not perked up by tomorrow I'll have to take her back to TED's. I
should have known I shouldn't jinx it by boasting about how well they're
doing. I'll never do that again. :o(

Awwww. Give her skritches for me. Whenever Sugar reacted it was a day later,
so I bet that is what it is. Try giving her lots of water. Hydration is what
Sugar needed. Keep us posted.

Well, she's moving around more today and seems a bit perkier. She laid
on her paper bag by my feet and purred for an hour or so while I was
reading rpca, so I think she's feeling better now. :o)

I'm glad to hear that Frank and Nikki are doing well. Frank just needed
his tummy tickled, so tickle his tummy for me and give Nikki scritches.

I'm very pleased to hear it! :o) Fuss over them a bit extra for me. I know
all too well how unhappy kitties can get when they're hauled off to TED.

What does TED mean calling your kitties elderly?! They are in their purrime,
says Soncek, and I agree.

I very glad to hear that, but elderly? I'm sure Waffles would be the
first to agree, Frank is in his purrime.
