The cat's name is Mowgli, and his blood work is back to normal! We are pleased and frankly, amazed. I thought this cat was a goner. He is a very expensive cat these days, though. It looks like it will be about $100 a month to keep him going, with medication, saline IV (at once a week, the bag could last as long as a month, but we'll play it by ear), and special cat food.
It's cold and clammy here, getting ready for a miserable weekend of freezing rain. Just as well I have a lot of computer work that will keep me indoors.
