@Cobalt he grumble/growls pretty often, usually when he’s greeting someone who has been gone for a bit, I figure he’s telling them he missed them.

It has been a stressful few days, but the FIP medication has done WONDERS. Skipper started eating on day two, and last night was strong enough to start complaining of being lonely. We took the chance to reunite her with her older brother (same mother, different litters) Ken. He had been crying of loneliness since the moment she left. The instant she saw him she began to purr loud enough to be heard outside the room. The purr made him realize she was there and he darted into her cave and gave her a head lick.
She still had a LONG road, (84 days of injections!) But we are optimistic!

@junipersky If it’s any reassurance:
In 2013, one of our cats was diagnosed as FIP-presumptive. This was before there really was ANY treatment for FIP. Diagnosis was largely conducted by exclusion, as the only ways to be really sure were super invasive biopsy or a necropsy. We opted not do the biopsy with our vet’s advice, because he was worried it might be stressful enough on his system to kill him. Instead we tried to make him as comfortable as we could for as long as we could, supplemented by anti-virals and specialty food.
It’s 2023 and this sweet little asshole – who was supposedly going to be dead within three weeks – is now a very opinionated old man. He spent last night screeching at me for an hour to be let into the bedroom and then out of the bedroom and then into the bedroom, as cats are wont to do.

Tippy, the gremlin princess as my kids have come to call her, salty at me while at the vet. She bit a nurse. Otherwise, she has softened a lot since moving to FL and LOVES sitting in the window watching birds on the lake. But this face
-
@Tori omg, ofc she bit a nurse. I love her.
-
There still isn’t a solid diagnosis - our vet wasn’t ready to say yeah or nay, but since they can’t prescribe the medication even off label, it wasn’t too important. We sent the symptoms and bloodwork to some FIP organizations and they said it was more likely then not, and got us in contact with someone with access to the medication.

Found a dog in our yard driving our dogs crazy. Brought her in so she doesn’t get hurt, gotta get her to a vet to check for microchip and check around the neighbor to see if she belongs to someone:

So I put in a catio outside of my bedroom window and it is basically the greatest thing I have ever done in my life.

@sao I can see why you smush your face into your cats. They are pretty kitties.

Made this Gif from one of our kittens at the shelter.

@junipersky That kitten looks so determined. Like, they are GONNA get out of that room. They have a PLAN.

Teenager called my working line GUARDIAN dog who was given to me when I lived in a dangerous neighborhood and needed protection a quote “Bully” because she reacts with aggression to new animals in HER territory.
I’m still steaming mad.
