Thank you! YES, one more down!!
I was thinking today was #7 for some reason, but looked at my sheet on the fridge when I got home, & it was actually # 8
You could tell he was tired of it today. He was a little grouchy. Moan'n & groan'n about it all anytime anything was done today.
The vet said his white blood count was up a little, (220 I think she said?).
But she didn't want to put him on antibiotics every time it was up a little. She said fighting the cancer can do that as well, so she took his temp, he really didn't like that!! But was normal 102.
Back to a two hour drip next week. :(
But it will give me a chance to take my car to the Toyota place to have the passenger side airbag recall fixed. They said about two hrs. So that will work out perfectly.
I also told her about the life gold I ordered, & am going to email her the info on it. :)

Yay!  So glad to hear Angel's treatment went well. 
   He's such a good boy.    Hope he gets over the grumps quickly!

I meant to post this days ago.  

Only here at the Cat Site would we all gather around to look at the latest results of kitty's morning constitutional with such interest and celebration!  So glad to see Angel pooped!

What a sweet boy!
  And that carpet!  Good heavens, you could eat off it, it's so clean.

  Thanks!  Yea, I usually vacuum about twice a week. I also have a shoes off at the door policy, so that helps!   It just gives you more peace of mind when things are clean, or at least tidy. I'm a little bit of a neat freak.

Not overly so,  I could use more storage room/ at least 2 more closets here, so I do have some cleaning out of areas I want to do at some point soon, so I can't be too anal about it!  I wish I had one of those little office/computer nooks in the kitchen, like many houses now have. (I have my desk calender w/ my work schedule, & what bill come out of that day sort of thing on the dryer!) I don't like having things on the table either, but there are some papers on it right now. My closets are full too!

That's why I have that white cabinet in my office, that Angel used to sleep behind. It holds my sheets & all the blankets. My bathroom closet has towels, & all the bathroom stuff in it, hair & make-up stuff, etc..  I'm lucky I have that. The downstairs apartment doesn't have a bathroom closet!  The bottom section of the cabinet is old picture albums, & still loose pictures!

Almost one third of the way there, and another two-thirds left to go.

(They still haven't invented a better way to take temperature, then up the backend. 
 
..of course he'd be grouchy...after the fur shaves, needles, and then the ole' temperature taking... Angel will be demanding more treats now.)


Looks like that old box, is "so last week".
  That carpet looks way more comfortable to sleep on.


Mega vibes for a good week, for you and Angel.

Thanks!  Well, of course it didn't take long, & he was right back in his box.   He also slept there last night as he has been.  He only ate a little bit this morning, so I continued what I started last week,  & gave him an anti-nausea, & small pc. of Tramodol, as well as his prednisolone. You could tell he didn't feel good. 


After that, he went under the couch.   When I got home this afternoon, around 1:30, he hadn't eaten anymore. I rewarmed it, & tried again. No go. (this was his usual Dave's)  SO, I opened a ban of Natural Balance turkey & giblets, gave him 1/4 to start, & he ate it! YAY!  So I offered another 1/4 to see if he would eat it, as well as adding his lysine, (since he didn't eat it in his morning food) & he has been working on it, & eaten more than half!  

.........Answered prayer!!  I was just asking God on the way home today, to PLEASE let him keep his appetite at least. I HATE giving him the appetite stimulant!!  The way it speeds up his breathing & heart rate, & that's 1/8 of a pill!! It's scary!  I think the reason they get more vocal on them, is because they are trying to tell us something doesn't feel right!  

I just wanted to keep him eating the Dave's for 2-3 days before letting him have anything else.  We don't need an episode of cystitis on top of all of this! He has been good for over 3 yrs. now, but that's because he stayed on the Purina SO UR for (the 1st yr) a yr. or more, & then the Dave's (healthier alternative) ever since.  As long as his pee pee clumps are good size.  

He is relaxing on the living room floor right now, so that's good. Out in the open.

OH, I don't know why I was thinking his chemo would be done at the end of May. ??? 


There are 8 treatments left on the sheet, so that counts out to the 21st of March being the last one! Yay!  I am praying that they will be completely gone, so he can stay in remission!!

I hate giving Sebastian the appetite stimulant, too. It's my last resort.

I don't have much to say, but I've been reading the updates and I'm thinking of you and Angel!

Thank you! I am just glad he ate. As long as his pee clumps stay normal size, he is good.  Saturday, I got a variety of Natural Balance to put in the mix w/ his Dave's, so I am glad I had some, when he wasn't interested in the Dave's earlier. He ate 1/4 can of turkey & giblets, offered him another 1/4, & he ate it!  So that's half a can over the course of a few hrs. from about 2:00 this afternoon. I will see if he wants anymore before bed, but he has done pretty good, considering. 

He just now got in his box, after laying out on the floor, all afternoon & evening. I even heard him snoring earlier.
