Hi moon_beam

Thank you for the update. Staples, huh? I had those when I broke my ankle; not fun. Poor Noah relegated to the basement Does this hamper the time you spend/sleep with him? I hope not. Glad he likes the pill pockets. Good conditioning in case he needs to take pills in the future. I hope you and your little man have a pleasant evening.

T

Hi, Tracy, since we live in the basement living quarters access to the upstairs is an option when he's feeling good. So we always share each other's company - - particuarly during cuddle and sleepy bed time.

It's almost time for his dinner, and I know you must be on your way home now to your precious companions. Thank you again, Tracy, for your continued thoughts and prayers for my precious Noah's recovery, and for your cherished friendship and care and concern - - as well as each of our forum friends. I will let you know how my precious Noah is doing in his continued recovery.

Peace and blessings,

Hi moon_beam

So glad you and your precious Noah can spend time together while he heals. Hopefully you can both enjoy some of your peaceful woodland neighbors today. That is if the weather is as nice as here. Keeping you both in our thoughts.

T

Hi, Tracy, thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers for my precious Noah's continued recovery.

Noah is ever so happy to finally have the staples removed - - as am I. It is now a matter of time that his tummy fur will grow back. His tummy fur is completely white - - and it is so soft to touch.

I thank you, Tracy, for your continued thoughts and prayers for my precious Noah's recovery, and for your cherished friendship and care and concern - - as well as each of our forum friends. I will let you know how my precious Noah is doing in his continued recovery.

Hi moon_beam

Yay for staples out

Nice weather here; Theresa is quite enjoying it, but Tang is content to sit in the window. I hope you and Noah are having nice weather and enjoying your woodland neighbors.

Hi, Tracy, thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers during my precious Noah's recovery.

This morning I took the gate away from the basement bathroom door so that he can once again jump onto the commode and then a short leap onto his window perch. He has been a very happy kitty today having this "privilege" restored. He was quite frustrated yesterday not being allowed in the bathroom. His emotional well being is as important as his physical health, so I decided this morning to give him this extra space once again. He seems to be very contented. I still have the gates at the bottom of the basement steps - - it may be another week before I take those down so that he can once again have access to the upstairs. He has come a long way in his recovery and I do not want him overdoing his physical activity.

I thank you, Tracy, for your continued thoughts and prayers for my precious Noah's recovery, and for your cherished friendship and care and concern - - as well as each of our forum friends. I will let you know how my precious Noah is doing in his continued recovery.

Hi my dear friend moon_beam,

I haven't been able to get onto the forum for a while, when I finally had time to do so earlier my heart sank when I saw the topic title. I was almost too scared to read the thread, but I am so glad that I did, as it seems to have a happy ending. So pleased Noah's surgery went well and that he continues to improve. What a special, brave boy he is. I know how much you love him, and how difficult the last few days must have been for you. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to be here to offer you support. I will keep little Noah (and you) in my thoughts and prayers, and check back here whenever I can.

Thinking of you of both,
Cheryl xx

Hi, Cheryl, thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers for my precious Noah. I still feel a deep pain in my heart when I think how seriously ill he was and how close I came to losing him. Praise the Lord for upset tummies - - otherwise I may never have known he was so close to leaving me because he was not showing any other symptoms of a twisted intestine. I am so grateful for God's miracle of having him restored to me in good health, for the opportunity of continuing to share his sweet physical presence for awhile longer, and for the many thoughts and prayers lifted on Noah's behalf from our L S friends.

I hope today is treating you kindly, my friend, and thank you again so very much for sharing Noah's illness - - and recovery - - with me. I will let you know how my precious Noah is doing in his continued recovery.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi moon_beam

Just stopping by to check in. I'm sorry you are still feeling stress over what might have been. I agree it's good that he had the upset tummy, as you would not have known anything was wrong. Cats are really good at hiding the more subtle stuff. But, I'm also glad Noah is going to be OK, and getting better each day. I'm sure he loves being allowed back on his "perch" Give him a hug from me.

T

Hi, Tracy, thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers and comforting support during my precious Noah's recovery. With it only being 2.5 years since my beautiful baby girl Abbygayle joined the angels I truly am not in any hurry for my precious Noah to transition home to the angels. Since I do not know how much more time we have together, I am truly grateful for every minute of every hour of every day, and try not to take any of it for granted.

This morning when I fixed his water jug to put in the fridge for cool water this evening (I change his water and water bowl twice a day) some ice chips fell on the floor and he played some ice hockey. It is so good to see him feeling so chipper. And he has swatted his toys around a little bit today. I have not resumed playing our games of volley ball and soccer with him yet - - I do not want him to get too excited yet. That will come eventually.

I thank you, Tracy, for your continued thoughts and prayers for my precious Noah's recovery, and for your cherished friendship and care and concern - - as well as each of our forum friends. I will let you know how my precious Noah is doing in his continued recovery.

Moon_beam, I am so happy to hear that Noah is making good progress! You've both been in my thoughts.

Hi, Kel, thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers for my precious Noah during his medical crisis and recovery. When our precious companions become ill it is very frightening. Although it has been three weeks since Noah's and my journey began, and he is doing wonderfully in his recovery, I still shudder sometimes with cold chills when I think how close I came to losing him so quickly. I am very, very thankful for your thoughts and prayers on his behalf, Kel, and all of our L S friends.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

My Dear L S Friends, I want to thank you so much for all your compassionate support, comfort, and encouragement during my precious Noah's medical crisis. He continues to do well in his recovery. His tummy fur is slowly growing back and is now long enough to provide some coverage for his incision. It may be another week before I take down the gates from the basement steps so that he can have access once again to the upstairs as he desires. It is hard to believe that next Friday, the 26th, will be one month since his surgery.

I thought you might enjoy seeing a pictue of my precious boy. This picture was taken shortly before his crisis began. Thank you again so much for all your thoughts and paryers for my precious Noah. I am so blessed to have him still with me, and to have the blessing of your friendships.

Peace and blessings,

Oh moon_beam, this is such a precious picture of Noah!!! What a beautiful kitty boy! He has the cutest little nose and such bright green eyes. He looks like he's a real sweet and affectionate cat. You are so blessed to have him.

moon_beam

Ditto DannysMom on a beautiful pic of Noah He and Tom could almost be brothers down to the green eyes. I'm so glad to hear he's doing well. Hopefully, he will have "full run" again in your home. Thank you again for the update and pic!

Hi moon_beam,

I was thinking recently that I would love to see a pic of Noah and there he is, so beautiful and precious!.....I am so happy he is still recovering well and is getting his belly fur back.

You deserve the best moon_beam, you are a wonderful friend to all of us here at LS and we love you......Prayers continue for you and Noah.....God Bless.....

LoveMyMickey

What a wonderful photo and I am so glad to hear he is making a good recovery. He is so lucky to have such a loving owner and he is also knew that he looks after you too so it was not his time yet. I send my love and hope he continues to improve.

xxForeverxx

Hi, DannysMom, Tracy, LoveMyMickey, and Forever, thank you so much for sharing my precious Noah with me. He is a handsome boy, and I am very blessed one to be his Forever Mom. And I am very honored to share him with you and our fellow L S friends.

He is curled up on his lamb's wool cushion taking a nap as I'm writing to you. I love watching his tummy gently rise and fall as he breathes, feeling his warm soft body cuddled next to me, and the sweet privilege of holding him in my arms. I know there will come a time when I must send him home to the angels - - but I am very grateful that this time has not yet come - - that I have been granted more time with him.

Thank you so much, DannysMom, Tracy, LoveMyMickey, Forever, and all of our L S friends, for the blessing of your continued comfort and support during my precious Noah's recovery.

Peace and blessings,

Hi moon_beam

Thank you for sharing Noah's progress with us. I'm so glad your sweet little man is doing well, and hopefully not going anywhere for a good long while. We are honored to call you friend and share in your and his happy news and daily progress. So, when will the little guy get full roaming access again?

T

Hi, Tracy, thank you so much for stopping by to check in on my precious Noah. Initially it takes 6 weeks for recovery from major abdominal surgery. By this time there should not be any risk of pulling internal stitches, stressing abdominal muscles, etc.. So, even though this next Friday, 10/26, will be a month since his surgery I may wait an additional week - - give him 5 weeks - - before removing the gate. He has come so far in his recovery and I just do not want to take any chances with possible complications. He was already "pushing the limits" when he began jumping up onto the top of the fridge within days of his surgery. It will not hurt him to have this extra healing time before resuming his full activity with access to the basement steps.

Thank you again, my friend, for keeping my precious boy in your thoughts and prayers as he continues in his recovery. I am sincerely thankful for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of all of our L S friends.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi moon_beam

I'm so sorry if you took my question as trying to hurry you and Noah along. Of course you are being careful and don't want to rush his progress. I was just curious. I can hardley believe that 10/26 will have been a month. I'm glad he is doing well and you both can spend quality time together. Hope you are both having a great Caturday.

T

Hi, Tracy, thank you for your continued support and encouragement during my precious Noah's recovery. I want you to know that your questions are welcome - - no offense taken at all. I sometimes think I may be playing it over-cautious with not allowing him access to the basement steps yet. I know he is getting a bit frustrated with the gates still up. He will go to the bottom of the steps and stomp his front paws on the carpet like a little kid having a temper tantrum all the while looking up the stairs. Although his frustrations are short-lived, I know he will be much happier when the gates come down. He is 9 years old in kitty years - - which averages out to 60 something in human years. Physical bodies need more healing time as they get older. This is just a temporary inconvenience for him, but I know it is beginning to feel like "forever" to him.

So, this is where we are at this stage in Noah's healing journey. I know he wants to do more - - just not yet.

Thank you, my friend, for your continued support and encouragement, and for keeping my precious boy in your thoughts and prayers as he continues in his recovery. I am sincerely thankful for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of all of our L S friends.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi moon_beam

I'm glad I didn't give offence. To be honest, if I were in your place with Theresa or Tang (or Tom, if I'd done things right ) I'd probably be playing it safe too. I can so relate to Noah's frustration. As if he's saying "Moooom, I'm not an invalid" But you are his forever mom, and you are just looking out for him. Theresa is about the same age as Noah. They had her at just over 4 years old and in the shelter at four months when I adopted her in March 2007. Hard to believe she's been with me that long. Or that Tang has been here since last May. Anyway, I hope that you and Noah have a blissful night and a great tomorrow.

T

Hi, Tracy, thank you for your continued support and encouragement during Noah's recovery. I am soooo chuckling at your observation of Noah's behavior: "Moooom, I'm not an invalid " - - that is soooo right on!! He is sooo funny when he stomps he front feet - - I actually have to turn away from him so that he can't see me laughing, and I have to put my hand over my mouth so that he can't hear me - - that would be so insensitive to his feelings if he saw and heard me laughing at his frustration.

We are slowly getting back into our play routines, and that is so much fun. Since I do not know what caused his intestine to twist in the first place, I'm trying to keep a closer watch on his activity to try to prevent this from happening again. At least if it does happen again I will know that I have done everything in my power to try to prevent it. It frightens me a bit because there were so many things that could have gone wrong, - - things I could have missed. If it weren't for his upset tummies he may in reality not be with me today because twisted intestines that are not promptly diagnosed and treated are nearly 100 percent fatal, and those who do survive the belated surgical treatment do not have a good prognosis due to the extensive damage and repair of the intestine. He is recovering nicely from his surgery - - I'm just not sure that I will completely recover from this event.

And this is why it is so important to cherish every moment of every hour of every day that I have with him, because there are no guarantees. And I thank you, Tracy, and all of our L S friends, for sharing my precious Noah with me.

Once again, my friend, I thank you for your continued support and encouragement, and for keeping my precious boy in your thoughts and prayers as he continues in his recovery. I am sincerely thankful for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of all of our L S friends.

Peace and blessings,

Hi moon_beam

So glad to hear little Noah is doing better. I can understand wanting to hide your laughter. I've gotten some pretty dirty looks over the years for that. Poor little guy just wants things back to normal. I can certainly understand your fear and anxiety over "what might have been" I'm sure I'd probably feel the same way. I'm glad you are able to have game time and spend quality time together. You both are in our thought in the House of Ts

T

Hi, Tracy, thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement with Noah's recovery. Each of my companions throughout my life have their own special place in my heart. Noah has an additional special place as he may very well be my last companion during my earthly journey. So, yes, this medical crisis with him has hit home quite hard.

Once again, my friend, I thank you for your continued support and encouragement, and for keeping my precious boy in your thoughts and prayers as he continues in his recovery. I am sincerely thankful for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of all of our L S friends.

Peace and blessings,

Hi moon_beam,

I just wanted to stop in and in turn offer you sympathy and support with Noah. I am glad to hear that he is recovering well from his surgery. He may be growing impatient for things to return back to normal, but this is what we do as parents, we look after their well-being regardless of whether of not they approve. We do it out of love for them. I will keep you both in my prayers for his continued progress. He is indeed a beautiful boy.

-Laura

Hi moon_beam

Thank you for letting us know how your boy is doing. When you mentioned his "stomping" I wonder if perhaps he's kneeding in frustration. I've noticed Tang do that, and darned if it doesn't look like stomping. I can understand Noah's special place in your heart. But I hope you keep an open mind in that there are so many seniors out there (The Grannies Project comes to mind) that would so benefit from such a fantastic mom as yourself. But, you must do what feels right, as do we all. Just some food for thought. In any case, I'm glad you can focus on the here and now in that Noah is going to be OK for a long time to come hopefully. As always you both are in our thoughts and prayers.

T

Hi, Laura, thank you so much for your most welcome comfort, support, and encouragement in my precious Noah's continued recovery. I know first hand how hard it is to respond to other topics during deep grief, so I appreciate your friendship during this time of deep sorrow for you. Thank you for sharing my precious Noah with me.

Hi, Tracy, thank you for your continued support and encouragement during my precious Noah's continued recovery. Yes, indeed - - both your precious Tang and my precious Noah are kneeding the carpet in frustration - - it's the closest way they can come to "stomping" their front feet. Bless their hearts - - they DO have the same emotions that we have. The way they move their feet and the expressions on their faces convey the difference in their emotions when they kneed the carpet, or a blanket - - or us.

Noah kept a loving vigil over me today as I began the now ongoing project of raking the autumn carpet of leaves in the back yard. I got four bags of leaves raked today - - but as I was raking the trees continued to "rain" leaves onto the ground - - including where I had already raked. Noah gets so excited when he sees the leaves falling - - and blowing in the wind before they land on the ground. It is fascinating watching him watch the leaves.

Thank you again, Laura and Tracy, for your continued support and encouragement, and for keeping my precious boy in your thoughts and prayers as he continues in his recovery. I am sincerely thankful for the blessing of your friendships, and of all of our L S friends.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi moon_beam

I'm glad to hear that Noah continues to do well. With Tang's "stomping" I think it's more just being excited, trying to wake me up and get my attention. Must be a boy cat thing. Anyway, happy to hear your boy is doing better. Keep us updated

T

Hi moon_beam,

I'm so happy Noah is still recovering well. I had to smile about Noah's stomping/kneading, so cute......I understand about Noah being extra special when you think he might be your last.......I feel the same way about Mickey. Our age and future health has to be taken into consideration.

Have a good day with your precious Noah, moom_beam, and don't overdo with those leaves. I hope Sandy doesn't bring you any damage......God Bless...

LoveMyMickey

Hi, Tracy, LoveMyMickey, thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers and encouragement during my precious Noah's recovery. It truly means a lot to me.

Today is exactly one month since his surgery. Last evening he had an upset tummy event which of course concerned me a bit. There was some fur in the results, so I'm hoping this is a "fur ball tummy" event. He ate his dinner okay last night and so far this morning he seems to be fine. I gave him a dose of Laxatone this morning, and he seems to be resting comfortably on his bathroom window perch as I'm writing to you. Needless to say he still requires some close observation - - which is why the gates will remain at the basement steps so that he will be where I can make sure he is okay until I'm certain that he will be going upstairs for enjoyment rather than trying to disguise not feeling well.

Once again, Tracy and LoveMyMickey, I thank you so much for the blessing of your friendship, and for your most gracious and deeply appreciated thoughts and prayers during my precious Noah's continued recovery - - and of our fellow L S friends.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Dear moon_beam, I can't believe it's been a whole month since Noah had surgery. I am so glad he is doing so well. I can so understand how you were concerned when he had an upset tummy yesterday, probably wondering if this was a serious issue. I know this can be unsettling as you don't know what caused his intestines to twist in the first place. But it looks like this episode was just a plain old hairball. This is probably the season where they shed a bit more, and the laxatone as well as some extra brushing should help. I think you're right in observing him so closely for now. I hope your precious little kitty boy continues to do well.

Hi, DannysMom, thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers and encouragement during Noah's recovery. I gave him another small dose of Laxatone today to try to keep ahead of any potential furball tummy upsets. So far so good. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of our coastline L S friends who may be affected by Hurricane Sandy. Us "inlanders" are expected to get some high wind and maybe some rain, depending on when and where Sandy decides to make landfall. Noah and I are safe - - so glad we have a working emergency generator if the wind should cause a power outage.

Once again, DannysMom, I thank you so much for the blessing of your friendship, and for your most gracious and deeply appreciated thoughts and prayers during my precious Noah's continued recovery - - and of our fellow L S friends.

Peace and blessings,

Hi moon_beam

Just checking in on you and your precious Noah. I'm glad he continues to do well. I hope he does not have any more upset tummy issues. Stay safe from the weather. Peace and blessings.

T

Moon_beam,

I'm so glad to read that overall, Noah is doing well. The upset tummy incident must have been disconcerting. I remember being so afraid every time Pippin seemed even a little "off" during his illness - nothing like a little hypervigilance on my part! I am glad to hear things seem to be moving along, though, after that incident. Whew.

By the way, I loved the picture you shared of Noah! What a handsome, intelligent-looking boy you have!

Hi, Tracy, Kel, thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement during my precious Noah's recovery. Yes, his tummy upset last week was a bit of concern, but it seems the Laxatone is doing its job. He seems to be more mellow now - - this experience has been a major event for him and I know it has made an impression on him. He is doing well overall, though, and I am thankful for his precious sweet presence with me every day.

Thank you again so much for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy and Kel, and for your most gracious and deeply appreciated thoughts and prayers during my precious Noah's continued recovery - - and of our fellow L S friends.

Peace and blessings,

Hi moon_beam

Just checking in on you and your precious boy Noah. I'm glad to hear he continues to do well with his medication and recovery. Yes, I can imagine it was quite an ordeal for him and you as well. Let us know how you both are doing.

T

Hi, Tracy, thank you for your continued support and encouragement during my precious Noah's recovery. This is week 5 now, - - today marks 5 weeks since I brought him home from the hospital post-surgery. He has not had any additional upset tummies, so the Laxatone seems to be helping. I had stopped the routine Laxatone because he had such a challenge with control of his emissions system post-surgery, and I did not want to add further insult to an already embarrassing situation for him. But it appears that he is able to manage the Laxatone okay for furball management, so I will resume his prevention routine now.

Thank you again so much for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and for your most gracious and deeply appreciated thoughts and prayers during my precious Noah's continued recovery - - and of our fellow L S friends.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi moon_beam

Wow, 5 weeks. It seems like only yesterday; to you and Noah especially. I'm glad the Laxitone is working better now. Noah seems like such a fussy clean little man. I'm sure it was no pic nic for him. YAY for no more upset tummy. Is he still "stomping" to explore? Keep us updated and have a great evening.

T

Hi, Tracy, thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement during my precious Noah's recovery. It truly does mean a lot to me.

He seems to continue to be doing well. He is alert and active. We played some soccer this morning with one of his rattle balls. Once in awhile he still goes to the bottom of the basement steps and does his frustration "stomping" but not as frequently as he had been. I do not want to frustrate him, but I also do not want him climbing those steps yet until he is healed more internally. He continues to jump on top of the fridge which gives him enough cardio exercise for now.

His tummy fur is continuing to grow back in and he has a good first layer coverage over his incision now. With the colder weather I'm glad his tummy isn't so bare anymore.

So far he is continuing to do well, and for this I am very grateful. I thank you so much for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and for your most gracious and deeply appreciated thoughts and prayers during my precious Noah's continued recovery - - and of our fellow L S friends.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi moon_beam

Just checking on your precious Noah and you. I'm glad you have been able to engage him in some fun and games. I surely understand not wanting him to be stressed or overdo things. It's nice to hear is tummy fur is growing back in nicely too. I hope I'm not being a pest checking in so often, but some days (well, most days) you are the only one that checks up on me, Theresa and Tang. And I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and your little man Noah. Keep us up to date on his progress. Hope you both have a wonderful day

T

Hi, Tracy, thank you very much for your continued support and encouragement during my precious Noah's recovery. It truly does mean a lot to me.

Noah is continuing to do well. The Laxatone seems to be helping to keep furball tummies in check, for which I am thankful. In the past the occasional upset tummy didn't concern me too much - - but that has changed now.

The next biggest event in his recovery is whenever I take the gates down at the bottom of the basement steps, and I'm suspecting at this point in time this might be around the Thanksgiving holiday. This will be a true Thanksgiving for still having him with me.

I thank you so much for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and for your most gracious and deeply appreciated thoughts and prayers during my precious Noah's continued recovery - - and of our fellow L S friends.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi moon_beam,

I'm so happy Noah is still doing well. I want to wish you and Noah a Happy Thanksgiving and it truly will be because he is still with you. I bet he will do a happy dance when you take the gate down.

Moon_beam, I hope you have a peaceful and cozy night with your precious Noah.

Love and Blessings,
LoveMyMickey

Hi moon_beam

Ditto LoveMyMickey. I hope you and Noah have a terrific Thanksgiving. His ongoing well being is truly a blessing for you both.

T

Hi, LoveMyMickey and Tracy, thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers for my precious Noah. I hope you both had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration yesterday - - even though I know you worked yesterday, Tracy.

I was able to spend a part of the day yesterday with my brother and sister in law at their home. By the time I got home it was well after sunset and my precious Noah was very frantic to see me and needed my undivided attention. Today he does not want me out of his sight - - he is staying very close to me.

Tomorrow he will have a surprise: The gates will finally be removed to the basement steps so that he can once again have access to the upstairs to his heart's desire. He has a very good cover of fur over his incision now and he seems to be back to his normal energy levels. It will be interesting to observe his reaction when the gates are finally removed.

I thank you so much for the blessing of your friendships, LoveMyMickey and Tracy, and all of our forum friends who have been so supportive and comforting during this time of Noah's medical crisis and his recovery. I know my time with my precious Noah is becoming limited with the progression of age and the medical challenges that come with that, but I truly am very thankful for every moment that we have together - - and am truly thankful for the blessing of your friendships.

Please know you both - - and each of our L S friends - - are in my thoughts and prayers.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Dear moon_beam, I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving, but Noah sure missed you! I can imagine that he was wondering:"Mom, where are you and when are you coming back?" He is such a devoted little kitty boy.

He may not know what to do once the gates comes down. Maybe he will sit there for a few minutes wondering if he can really go up the steps again. Or maybe he will even race up the steps! I'm so glad that his fur has grown back. It was hard for me to look at Mindy's and Shelley's shaved tummies after they had their spay surgery.

Hi, DannysMom, thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement during my precious Noah's recovery.

I do believe his health crisis has helped him to know even more deeply how much I love him. He truly has a precious, sweet Spirit - - and I am so blessed to have the honor of being his human caregiver.

I thank you so much for the blessing of your friendship, DannysMom, and for your most gracious and deeply appreciated thoughts and prayers during my precious Noah's continued recovery - - and of our fellow L S friends. You and your precious Mindy and Shelley are in my thoughts and prayers.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

My dear friends - - the full circle of Noah's recovery is now complete. This morning I removed the gate barriers at the bottom of the basement steps and Noah - - with a few chirps of curiosity ventured up the steps and checked out his familiar territory. He has gone upstairs a couple of times - - racing at full speed - - hearing the patter of his precious feet on the upstairs hardwood floor - - then hearing him race back down the steps to "home base". He has had his lunch and is now taking his afternoon nap on his lamb's wool cushion as I'm writing to you. He has enjoyed the sunbeams on his bathroom window perch at times today as well. I do believe he is a happy, contented little kitty now knowing that his life is fully back to normal from his medical crisis.

I want to thank each of you so much for your comforting supporting and encouragement all through my precious Noah's illness and recovery. Thank you so very much for the blessing of your cherished friendships.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi moon_beam

I am so happy to hear that Noah is fully recovered - 2 months almost to the day you first posted. I know it was stressfull an scary for you both. But the good news is that he is all better and able to explore his domain. You are both in our thoughts. I hope he has many happy days of exploring ahead.
