So let’s see. This morning, Gracie seemed worse. I worried most of the day. I came home and she walked slowly down the stairs, then stopped halfway. She usually doesn’t do that. I fed her some more of her favorite Fancy Feast, but she only ate a few bites. Tig, of course, ate the rest.
She hung out in the kitchen for a while, and then when I went towards the stairs, she followed me, got ahead of me, and ran halfway up them.
She hasn’t done that in three weeks. She walked the rest of the way, but still–Gracie always used to run up the stairs, never walk. Then, she went into my bedroom for a bellyrub. I did not rub her belly, nor did she actually offer it, but she finally started leaning into the strokes as I petted her. She did the “elevator butt” thing–where you stroke a cat down her back and the butt rises. She hasn’t done that in three weeks, either. She’s been leaning away from being petted, as if it hurts a bit.
So she’s getting better, but she’s still going in for surgery.
This post, by the way, is dedicated to the moron who asked if my religion and my cat are all I care about in the world. (I did not approve the comment.) The answer to that question: Nope. I have TWO cats.
Lincoln said something about religion and whether a dog would be better for it… or something like that.
I think it also applies to cats.
What could be more important than your beliefs, and the living creatures you love?
Still praying …
Oops — I’m “Anonymous” in #3.
Rondi, it’s a typical troll comment. It’s from someone who got here looking for something else, and who doesn’t like the fact that I am A) Jewish and B) pro-Israel, so he thinks he is insulting me by leaving that sort of comment.
Dude, I have been insulted so much better than that… that one doesn’t even touch my insult detector.
Maybe that’s what I need right now. A good blogwar.
I still owe someone from years ago, and he knows who it is….
I do wonder about people who have nothing better to do than leave that sort of comment, but not for long. I have other things to do. hehehe I’m glad Gracie’s doing better overall, she’ll recover from her surgery quicker for it, I bet. Scritches for her and Tig :)

More prayers for you and Gracie . . . and hope that Gracie gets better quickly so that she can run (not walk) for the Senate next go-round. (I like the phrase “elevator butt”– my Kette does that when I rub or brush her back.) Prayers, too, that the surgery goes well.
