That is such wonderful news, as stated by so many other people; you are doing an amazing job with him. I think this boy needs to have you in his life forever.

This is such wonderful news!! It seems that each time you are posting, more positive things are happening...
His pee and pooping on his own is
Moving his tail is
This is all a testament to your dedication!
I just love him....
thank you..
How do you know when to put him in his toilet?
That is so great to hear all of his progress! YAY for the tail moving and peeing/pooping on his own!
Wow, that's great! Amazing progress. You've done a great job, it's so sweet that he has your other rescue kitty to take care of him too.
You have done a great job with him. I'm so happy to hear he is doing so well.
Moving his tail, peeing and pooping on his own, I'm doing a happy dance

I have just read through the whole thread. What a beautiful kitty and he is so lucky to have you! Please keep us updated on his progress. Sending healing vibes his way xxxx
This is wonderful news, Jennie! I hope he will be running around driving you crazy soon!
So...I'm sitting here giggling with tears running down my face. Jennie, you are literally giving this little guy his life back, and against all odds. Do you realize how huge moving his tail is for him? An enormous part of cat language is in the tail! Without some movement, he would have been a functional mute in the cat world. And if those nerves, at the extreme end of his body, are functioning, it's likely that all of them will function in time and with the wonderful care you are providing.
And I'm wondering if the grooming that your other cat is providing might not be very similar to acupressure. Hmmm...must ponder that for a bit.
If I could, I would pin a medal of honor on you, for service to cats above and beyond. Not only with this little one, but with your beautiful calico lady.

This is such a moving tale and you have helped these beautiful kitties so much it brings tears to my eyes. I read this from page 1 and your patience and fighting spirit are just awesome, well done you. I hope that doesn't sound patronising it's really not meant to be. The pics of both Reeves and your beautiful calico girl, before and after pics are incredible and just shows what love can achieve. I bet you will be rewarded by years of joy with your loving fur babies.
I totally agree with an earlier poster that you should become a vet or work with animals in some way. You sound like an absolute natural for this and your instincts are spot on. Bless you all.

How is our sweet boy doing today?

He is excellent! He has been playing and moving his body around some. I have honestly been sleeping a lot because I have a late night job on the weekends that keeps me out until 4am or so. I was able to upload the video for you guys to see him! I know you will love it!

Aww I saw him using his legs on his own a few times there. Can't wait for the hydrotherapy. I think that'll help a lot! In the last few updates there is life in his eyes! Looks like a real kitten. 
that was wonderful, I saw him move is hind feet too. Thank you for sharing the video. Get better Reeves we are all pulling for you!
Thank you for the video. First impression is he needs to have those leg muscles stretched to keep them from contracting. It's also wonderful to see him actively playing. Hopefully he'll get engrossed in something and forget he hasn't been able to move.
This is so great! He is doing so much better. Good for you.
Been following this from the beginning. What a beautiful sight this video is! Bless you for saving this little boy and giving him this chance.

I try to make sure to stretch them multiple times a day! I hope the hydrotherapy helps some! He is definitely in better spirits lately I agree with you about his eyes, before they seemed almost dead and now they sparkle with his personality. I'm so grateful for all of you for the comments and advice, you guys were the main reason I didn't give up on him and kept going!!!
Ps: I realized my night job might make me sound like I do something that I don't do haha but I'm a singer in a blues band and we gig in restaurants and bars which is why I'm out so late!
