For everyone here who helped me when I needed help (getting my new bought kitten that was very sick with COCCIDIA) all better again.

Garfield and I have been through a very rough first 3 weeks together. I bought him from a pet store (I know ... STUPID ME) and when I brought him home his first bowel movement had alot of blood.
I was sooo mad at that store.
But 3 weeks and about $200 dollars later... hehe
(I know that isn't the important part) Oh how my LITTLE FUR-MAN has progressed!!!
I am posting pictures..
---The first picture is of him the day I bought him (the coccidia was just starting).
---The second picture is of him while he was very sick. He got very thin and frail looking.
---The next few pictures are of him now... from hiding in the next door neighbors bushes (see if you can find him in that pic)

to.... sleeping with HIS hula froggy.... to also sleeping with a kitchen rag!!


I just want to share my new and improved little man to ya'll. Hope you enjoy........

Garfield is adorable. I am so glad that it was you who adopted him. You took good care of him when he needed it most.

Thank you for your sweet words...
I am glad it was me also... wouldn't change a thing!!

He has given me and my family so many smiles and laughs even when he was sick. He is something else. His personlality is so different. Of course I know they all are, but he is different form any other I have ever had.
I know there was a reason I BOUGHT him that day. ( I dont even believe in BUYING cats when there are so many that are FREE that need homes). But something told me to buy him. He is so SPECIAL!!

What a cute little munchkin! I could just eat him right up!
Glad to hear he is feeling better and making "friends" with inanimate objects (one of my babies' favorite pastimes!) Lol!

Thank you!!

No COCCIDIA is an intestinal parasite. NO FUN!! Actually now my 13 month old pregnant cat (due any day now) has it. But we have been treating it for about a week. She seems better with every day. We want to get rid of it before the kittens arrive.


But I have learned alot from this past 3 weeks....... DON"T BUY A CAT IN A PET STORE!!!!
