No change - that's good?



I am starting to look at things from a different perspective here. The status quo is good. Cats are not fighting. That is good

Snoopy's hair is gradually coming back. She's eating well. She's maintaining her weight. She no longer needs the insulin.

She's not a shedder and never has been. But she has an awful undercoat that mats and she will not allow us to brush her. It's a never ending battle.



Sakaura, on the other hand, is shedding like crazy. I'd forgotten that happens to most long haired cats when the season changes.



She went to the vet on Thursday. Don took her and said she was relatively well behaved. At least she did not bite or scratch the vet. He pronounced her healthy - said she's at a good weight and we should try to keep her at or around that weight. He also recommended brushing her teeth - Don's theory is that Dr. K has found cat dental cleaning a profitable business, since no cat that we've ever owned would allow us to clean their teeth.

Snoopy still will not come into the living room on her own. She will, however, still move from her "bedroom" to where she eats and to the downstairs litter box on her own. That is progress (as small as it may seem).
