Catfriend on the Mend

If Olivia had Internet access--which, fortunately, she does not--she would no doubt be quite cross that I would post any picture that shows her at less than her best.

However, the fact that she looks pissed off is actually a good thing. She was much more conversational yesterday than she had been on my previous visit, a reflection of the fact that the IV fluid therapy is having a positive effect on her blood work. She'll be on the IV until Friday, and then she gets to come home--YAY!

Now, the real challenge: Getting her to eat as much as she needs to. She's still picking at her food instead of "going for it" (as the vet put it last night), even after the vet gave her an appetite stimulant. We'll have to figure that out. Kitty can't starve.

But she'll be home soon, and we'll both sleep better then.
