KFC again - improvement at last

I have read all the posts in the thread I started yesterday and I thank
each and every one for your suggestions and support.
When I got home from work this afternoon Kitty was waiting for me. "Gimme
some of that chicken NOW"
I'd boiled the remains of it up in my pressure cooker yesterday just for
her and picked every bit of the meat off into a basin. A messy job. The
juice had set into a nice jelly.
I gave her three tablespoons of the chicken meat and jelly. She ate it
all and wanted a bit more. I was afraid to give her more in case it
overloaded her stomach after not eating and set off diarrhoea, so I waited
a few hours and offered her another tablespoonful which she gobbled up.
There is no poo spread around in the house today, but on the other hand
there is no poo in the litter box either. I wait with bated breath to see
how it goes through.
No-one but us on rpca would understand how important cat poo can sometimes
be ;-)

Dear Christina, this is great. Please remember how enthralled so many of us
are with your feisty little old lady. We're upset at the prospect of losing
her, too. Here at my place, we are purring for that one more pleasant
summer (at least) for you.

There are much older cats on record. She might, with proper care, have a
decade left, for all we know!

I'm not sure how to take this, Pat. You are surely not suggesting that I am
not giving her proper care, are you?
Caring for this cat has taken over my life.

My reading of her message was that she, like all of us, hopes that KFC
could conceivably have some time left yet. It didn't sound like a
criticism, rather a hopeful observation that in some cases kitties have
lived to be significantly older than KFC is now, so we're not out of our
minds to hope that KFC might have a good bit of time left yet. It is
admittedly very rare, but KFC has already shown herself to be an
extraordinary ladycat.

FWIW, I didn't read Pat's comment that way - although I can understand why
you can be a bit wary at the moment due to some of the crass comments from
some on a.n.other thread about looking after KFC. I read Pat's comment as
hoping KFC has a lot of good life in her yet, not as an adverse reflection
on the care you give her.

What an incredible little lady. I'm happy to hear she's rallying. I admire
stubborn old gals!

Blessed be,
Baha

Of course not. You may be over-reacting. Any cat that's getting on in years
needs proper care, like an elderly person. I meant that she might live a lot
longer than you think is possible, given that she continues receiving proper
care.

Cheers for grand old KFC. Her recent experiences may have just left
her too empty to poop for awhile. Still, we will purr for her to poop
in moderation and continue her feisty ways for a long time.

Please don't misunderstand this but as a more recent cat slave than most of
you, I just got the biggest hoot out of all of us "ADULTS" sitting around
crossing everything we have for a proper cat POO. However, I join with the
rest of you an am glad to hear she ate so much.
