Continuing Saga

Galen seems to be doing a bit better with the meds. He's fighting back more when we jam the renal gel down his throat. He's definitely eating more. And while he hasn't groomed me the way he was before this kicked off, he has snuggled in and given my face a couple licks.

In other cat-related news, we have a small piano bench that lives on my side of the bed for shoe on-putting. I moved it next to the bed so that Galen can use it as a jump transition. It works well for that. It also means I bark my shin on it regularly, but I knew that was going to happen.

I'm glad the meds are helping.

Good to hear on meds!! We got a bench too and it worked well.

Hooray for getting some of the old, familiar behaviors back. It must be a bit of a relief to see.

I know I’m watching our fluffy girl like a hawk for any sign that she’s no longer made of springs and feathers when she leaps and plays. She’s also the only one that has shown any inclination to groom people faces—she seems fascinated with B’s goatee and rather than grooming much she will give him a swipe and then start brushing her face on his beard.

Galen is nearly 17, so he hasn't leaped and played for a while. But you're right - it is a definite relief.
