Ming Loy has turned out to be the sweetest, cutest - HAPPIEST cat! And THANK GOD Flowerbelle decided to be friends. Spooky's still having a problem with her, though she's showing it by peeing on the couch, not by hissing and hitting her.

But Ming Loy is about Flowerbelle's size now (which means she'll be larger then Flowerbelle) - but the two of them are just too cute together - Flowerbelle basically all white, and Ming Loy basically all black.

Ming Loy has built her front leg strength up, so we've been able to remove most of the pillows from everywhere. But when she gets going she uses both back legs at once, and man can she LEAP! We never thought about how noisy it would be to have a crippled kitty. And with her into chasing her tail, sumersaulting around chasing her shadow - it can be "thunk and thud" city around here at all hours of the night or morning, LOL!

Also, she loves to flop down on the floor and roll over on her back. She LOVES having her belly rubbed - a first for us.

Although this is when she was still very young, this is such a typical Ming Loy play position:

And she loves sleeping with the other kittes. She'll thunk her way up to them and just plop down on them. Shelly never seems to mind, though he'll make himself comfortable. Ming Loy doesn't seem to mind the foot in her face, lol!

Yeah - because her back legs don't work too well, and when she walks her hips really swing around, we're real glad Ming Loy has a tail, because she uses it like a rudder, LOL!



....and finally, I wanted to post a pic of Tuxedo. He is doing FABULOUS. His red blood cell count is normal, and we're down to 1 prednisone every other day. He is KING of this house, sooooooooooo playful, he loves pets and brushes now - he constantly hops up onto the bed or couch - or trots into the kitchen - just to say "hi" and see what's going on. Keeping an eye on his domain! His hair has even grown back in a little bit on his hip, belly and legs, so although it's still sparse, he doesn't look as patchy as he did a few months ago. He's put on weight (though Gary's brushing him in this pic you can't tell how full his neck is) - and he now weighs 11 pounds! WHAT A GOOD BOY!!!!

Looks like a normal kitty to me! Bless you for taking in these special cats. Not to push Tux aside, but that reminds me I need a Flowerbelle fix! Glad to hear everyone is doing fine!
