Spicey's back home

Spicey has come home from the vet, and her legs seem a bit stiff, probably
from being constrained to a cage for the better part of a week. Even with
Dot and Buster here, the place seemed so empty without her!

She's currently going all around the house, sniffing everything, and
alternately following and watching, me, Buster, and Dot, like she can't
believe that everyone is back in her life. Dot and Buster, on the other
hand, don't seem to find it odd at all that Spicey had disappeared and
reappeared.

Spicey gave me a "mrrow" and purr to let me know that she wanted the food
dishes topped off. Just as TED reported, her appetite is back!

I'm so relieved that things are back to normal for now. I know that I have
a couple of increasingly senior cats, but I can't bear to think of parting
with any of them, so every year and every day they're with me is one of
life's joys.

I'm so happy for you and for Spicey! I suspect this will make you
appreciate your time with her all the more.

I am absolutely THRILLED to hear Spicey is home. Purrs for her
continued recovery.

Thanks Jill. Now that she's been up and about for a while, I really don't
see anything wrong with her at all. It's almost like last weekend was some
kind of bad dream.

We're both appreciative!

I've never seen Spicey so affectionate before. She wanted to stay on my
lap, and hugged and pressed her cheek against my arm. She'd periodically
look up at me with limpid, almost tearful eyes. Those large eyes she has
that seem to be made to fit a lifetime of wonder and memories.

I noticed that her little wrist was shaved. It seemed that if she could,
she wanted to tell me all about what a terrible place she was in, and how
she was poked and mistreated. But she was brave, she would say, and fought
back. Although what I heard, Spicey, was that they saved your life, and in
return you were threatening theirs.

I'm so very glad she's home. Trust me, I know what it's like wondering
whether or not she'll come back home. Sounds like she's practically
back to her old I-might-just-rip-your-arm-off self again.

Oh, it's awful, isn't it? I hate seeing that little shaved spot on the
arm. Insert an IV. Poke, prod. I'm sorry! It's necessary.

But she feels much better now.

Yep, she was brave. And she gave them "what for" when she was feeling
better.

I'm delighted.

That information is alarming, but very good to know what we're dealing
with.

Spicey is a funny thing. Maybe it's because I saw her stay in one place
near death, but now, she seems healthier than I've ever seen her, and
seemingly all over the place, choosing napping and lookout spots I've never
seen her use before.

Yes. I nearly lost a beloved dog with it..
so I know a bit about pancreatitis.
My dog recovered, but it was a near thing. She nearly died of it, so I am
very happy that Spicey is doing well.
