That's good news, Maria!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My Homer was also amazing at taking pills, although I also wrapped them in a bit of Pill Pocket anyway, because I thought they must taste bad. Hazel isn't super violent about not taking pills, but she is Very Good at not letting it in to her mouth. Or eating a Pill Pocket. Or regularly eating a flavored chewable pill! The transdermal is working well, though, and she'll actually take the chewable once in a while, so I don't just have to throw them away.
Oh lord, the whole point was supposed to be: I am glad Lucky is doing well!!

Hi Karl! Good to see you again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Hi Karl. Good to see you.
Yay for Lucky doing well, and being pill-able. Some cat had to be, to balance out the trickster that was Jenny, pretending to swallow and then spitting out the pill in some hidden place, to be found hours?? days?? later. And the incredible fight-to-the-last-breath TC who would seriously savage those who tried to pill him. I'm very happy you got the balance cat.

Glad to hear Lucky is doing better, Maria. And that pilling her is relatively easy. The only time I had problems with either of my cats was when one was on chemotherapy. The pills were huge and he just couldn't swallow them. Fortunately, pillers exist and that seemed to do the trick most times; it could get the pill farther back in the throat than I could.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm super grateful in so many ways, not in the least that I don't fear losing a finger trying to make her better. I've heard the stories from you all here, and I was terrified.
She really has made remarkable strides in just a few days. The vet said a stroke is a stroke in cats; there's no difference like there would be with a CVA versus a TIA in humans. We had serious discussions about quality of life and when is the right time to make the call. Now, other than the abnormally dilated eyes, you can't tell she had a major medical event last Thursday. I'm in awe.

Yay, Lucky! I hope she continues to improve.
I am currently eating Trader Joe's plantain chips, which are yummy, in case anyone was wondering.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay, Lucky!
Gary is doing both dropoff and pickup at daycare for the little guy(who's not that little any more, and is walking. Boy are we in trouble now. :)) while I heal. Unfortunately, he's got a couple of business trips coming up this week and next, so have to do all the wrangling.
