Kateydog is home...

[thoreau]

Just got Katey home from the vet - and all settled in a nest of blankets and pillows on the couch. She still has the catheter in her leg - because they are going to give her more fluids tomorrow. But when we went to pick her up (my neighbors Mike and Mike whom many of you have met) she trotted out and wagged her tail - and even rolled over on her back on the sidewalk outside the vet for a tummy rub. She's sleeping now on the couch - I know that she's glad to be home.

She turns 8 on Monday - and I know I'm looking forward to celebrating with her. We'll be back at the vet at 1030 in the morning for another evaluation. Best case scenario - we go on a gentle morning walk - but she's wagging and alert - and then we won't spend any more time hooked up to IVS at the doctor. They'll inject liquids under her skin to absorb - then I could start feeding her water and small amounts of food on Thursday.

I'm so happy to have the goddess back home!

Hooray! So glad things are looking up!

You know....the internet is a wonderful world for support and celebration. But it is also used for hate and bitterness. Do not be distracted by what others say....and focus on what is most important. You and Miss Kates speedy recovery. I am sending both of you warm hugs!!!!

HUGS!

I am glad that Katielishious is home, and am continuing to hold her and you in my thoughts.

Pay no mind to those of mean spirit, you have better things (and men!) to do.

I'm really glad to read this, Bob. I hope Miss Kate's recovery continues to speed along and this experience is just a memory in no time.

YAY for you and the adorable Kateydog ! ... so glad to hear she's back and responding. Wishing both of you continued happy reunion, and smooth recovery. Hugs!

So glad she's home. I've been avoiding posting to this because I've had a lousy experience with the loss of two of my babies this year. Know that I am sending good thoughts to you and Katey.

[osodecanela.livejournal.com]

amen, she is home.

[xianjessen.livejournal.com]

she trotted out and wagged her tail

Wow. I think I would have lost it. That must have been quite a moment.

I am rooting for you both.

[qbear.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear she's doing better!! I'm sure she's very happy to be back in her own home with you. Hugs---

I hope the best for her. I know all too well the raw emotion of a sick pet and "the decision" and hope for a speedy recovery and that you don't have to go "there" for a long time.

[castrowoof.livejournal.com]

Congrats on her return home.

Still sending lots of healing hugs and energy.

[beastbriskett.livejournal.com]

Yep, she's a trooper. Glad she's home, and you have some relief.

[cuyahogarvr.livejournal.com]

[tinman11201.livejournal.com]

still holding you both in light for continued recovery and good news from the VET.

Phew!

[notdefined.livejournal.com]

This is very good news. Even though it is not over, it seems that the recovery process is well under way. Take a deep breath, exhale slowly and know that you have a whole community sending you a collective hug. You know how to reach me if you need to. Oh, the looks absolutely gorgeous. :)

Hooray for her having a good night at home. Hoping the food goes down well Thursday. *hug*

[stivalineri.livejournal.com]

[eireangus.livejournal.com]

I am so happy she is home, please keep us updated!!!

[actorguy1.livejournal.com]

My cat was sleeping beside me when I read your post. Just as I finished, inexplicably, she woke up, pulled herself over to me and licked my leg. Then she just looked directly into my eyes.

I may be wrong but I think that might have been a hug for the goddess. I am sending regardless.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

thanks - hugs received!

[djmadadam.livejournal.com]

Cats are very intuitive.
