Sarah!

Sarah is almost a new cat. It’s really weird and I just keep looking at her in gaping awe. Over the last two days she’s really turned around. Last night I noticed her actually eating pieces of her food instead of just sickily licking it and tonight she was gobbling it down with gusto. She would fish a large chunk out of the bowl onto the ground and then would bite off smaller pieces, toss back her head, and swallow it. I got down on my knees and watched her. I knew she was feeling better when I pulled up and she actually ran and bounced over to my car instead of walking like an arthritic old mummy. Is this where they get that adage about cats having nine lives? I’m ashamed to admit it, but at certain points I had given consideration to putting her to sleep. I’m so glad I didn’t. Let’s hope she stays this way. I may still need to have her teeth removed to prevent anything else like this from happening again.

  1. Yay Sarah! I’m so glad to hear that she’s feeling better.

  2. I’m so glad to hear she’s doing better. She’s one of my favorite cats ever, such a sweet girl. I hope I get to see her soon.

  3. What a relief! I love my little cat too and was sad to hear Sarah was ill, so glad she’s all bouncy and filled with appetite again.

  4. You should take some new pictures of Sarah, and post them!

  5. Yay for sarah! This is exactly what happened to my old cat last year around this time. I remember the day she pulled out of “it” she started playing with a piece of fuzz that was blowing across the floor.

    How great that she is feeling better.
