Although we’re still keeping a close eye on on our very sick cat, Churchill, he appears to be on the mend albeit very slowly. Two days ago he started licking baby food off of Laurie’s finger in the morning and was licking the same off of a proffered spoon by the evening. This was great since I hated force feeding him and so did my thumb on the hand that was holding his head. With any luck it should heal okay but some scarring might remain.

Then last night he actually managed to make it to the food bowls for dinner for the first time in over a week and licked a few pieces out of it before he had to lay down. Three more teaspoons of baby food later and he was out like a light.

This morning he arrived in the kitchen from under our bed on his own steam and grabbed a few pieces of dry cat food before occupying his old position in the hallway by the bathroom door. And he’s been alternating between there and  food bowls all morning so far.

Churchy’s still plenty weak and can’t travel more than several steps at a time before he has to lay down so I have to make sure to take him down to the litter box once a day and again after supper until he can make the stairs on his own. And we still have no idea what happened to him and though he seems to be getting better he’s certainly not off the critical list yet.

Either way, it looks like all the good thoughts and karma that’s been coming his way over the past few days is working. If you would kindly keep it up we just might have a healthy cat  on our hands once again.
