Oh! and just now he really stretched himself around in the kitty cup and did
upside downy head instead of just staying huddled in a curl like he has
been. First time in days I've seen him "relax" like that. :)

YAY!  I'm *SO* glad to read this!

Good news Karen. He should be passing it. I know what you mean
about resorting to the FF. I've had to do that with Scarlett even
though I fully planned to never expose these kittens to "junk
food". She just turns her nose up at the good stuff, even though
she was raised on it since she started owning me. She's just too
skinny to let her get hungry enough to eat what I give them. I
don't know what it is about "good" food, but it must be nasty!

Any way, sorry for my own rant and purrs for Grant to pass the rest
of the big hairy poopy.

That's wonderful news! Yay, Grant!

Continued "Move that hairball through and OUT" prayers and purrs are on
the way.

And that was good logic on your part -- getting that nasty hair out, even
if it wasn't the whole thing, makes more room so he'll feel hungry and
want some food again.

And here's to seeing the food help make the rest of that nasty thing keep
moving until it's out.

P.S. Don't beat yourself up over this. I think the only cats who AREN'T
susceptible to this happening are the hairless ones like the cat in the
Austin Powers movies. I think that kitty's name is Mr. Bigglesworth, and
other than him and his ilk, every cat that there is could go through the
same thing Grant is dealing with.

Way to go, Grant!

Keep it up, Grant!!

This is so good to hear, Karen -- please let Grant know purrs are still
coming for him.

Great news!! And he must feel relieved to have room in his stomach for
the food. It is a good thing he seems to like the Laxatone. Let's keep
that hair moving! ;-)

Not sure I'd ever say a cheer for a cat pooping, but consider it cheered!

Great! I can't think of anywhere else that a kitty poop would be god
news. ;-)

Yeah!  That's great to hear, Karen.  Hopefully he will be back to full
normal any time now.

Good news, Karen.  Hopes and purrs still coming that the hair problem clears
soon.

That sounds like good news.

Well, he pooped a little bit today. I think every little bit helps. He
ate
a
little at lunch, but even when well, he doesn't like eating in the middle
of
the day. However, tonight, he *wanted* something. Kept turning his nose
up
at the gruel I make but instead of leaving the kitchen, he went over to
see
what Pearl was eating so, I knew he really wanted something, so I opened
a
can of chicken Fancy Feast. Well, sans tuna juice even, he plowed into
it.
He didn't over eat, but ate a decent amount, especially considering that
he
hasn't been eating normal amounts. That was what put the bell on in my
head
to check the cat box. I don't expect we are done by a long shot (there
was
a
LOT of hair in there) and he is still doing some of that licky thing, but
by
golly it was nice to see a real "dig in" at the wet food like a normal
cat.
