Thank you. She's eating. She's drinking. Not as much poo as I'd like
but I'm adding fiber powder to the drinking water and that seems to
help. She's sitting on my lap again, purring and even rubbing her face
on my hand. She's not hiding (but I'm making sure to keep the bedroom
closet door closed).

I'll be giving her the first dose of liquid pain medication this
evening. I'll manage; she'll only be upset for a few minutes. I've
done this before, I just don't like doing it.

I'm still surprised the vet mentioned the option of taking her there
every day to let them administer it. Even if I were so inclined, it
wouldn't work because they're not open on Sundays. I have to give this
to her every day. They're not open today, either. Today is a US
holiday (Memorial Day). I have no idea why he even brought it up.

Buffy just got down off my lap and used her cardboard scratcher. She's
been doing that all along. Now she's in a Sphinx pose on top of the
scratcher, looking comfy.

I wish I could take a picture but my camera decided to fail last
Thursday.

I'm so pleased to hear how good she is. I love that she's looking comfy.
She does seem to have become Buffy again. Good luck with the pain meds.

She took the liquid meds, no problem! She was curled up on her crackle
sack and let me squirt it into her mouth without a fight. A few minutes
later she joined me on the sofa in the den, looking rather stoned.

She's eating, she's using the litterbox, she slept curled up next to me
last night and wanted more food this morning.

I've no illusions about her prognosis but for now she's comfortable and
eating and using the box and is not in pain. That's what is important.
