As some of you may recall from back in April, Tink took I’ll. I thought I was going to lose her. A trip to the vet made things worse. They couldn’t find anything wrong and she totally spazzed on them. When I got her home she began cowering in fear and hiding. It took quite q bit just to get her to eat. I had to push it back to her in her hiding place. She wouldn’t eat unless I laid down with her. Amy other position and she would run away.
Fast forward to the last couple weeks. She started not hiding quite as deeply. Instead of clear back under the bed, she would lay just under the edge. She would come out to me as long as I stayed close and didn’t move quickly. If I scared her, she would slide under the bed and finish eating if I slid it to where she could reach it.
This week she started sleeping up on her bed on the chair. She even slept on my bed one afternoon. She also started laying on the heat register in the living room. I could pet her there as long as I laid down. She would still scare easily but not like before. She also started eating dry food this week.
I came home from work on Thursday to fine her sleeping on the furnace register in the kitchen. Friday and Saturday, she continued to come down and sleep on the register but wouldn’t let me near her. Today, she has been up and down the stairs numerous times to lay on the register.
Two other big surprises took place today as well. I opened the basement door to go down and get laundry. I immediately heard her feet hit the floor upstairs. I waited for her little furry head to pop around the corner. This is something we used to do daily before she took sick. It took her a minute to decide if she would follow me down to the basement. She snooped around the basement for 15 minutes or so before responding to my call to go upstairs.
The second surprise was when I offered her dinner. I picked up the dish and can of food. She let out a light meow. I don’t think I’ve heard more than a growl out of her since April. This was a definitely happy sound. She followed me to the counter then dug on her digging arch that sits in the kitchen. I asked her where she wanted to eat. She went right to her feeding mat in the kitchen. She hasn’t eaten there since April. She purred the whole time she ate.
I am extremely happy that my cat is coming back to her normal self. Now, if I could get over this stupid sinus crap, I’d be totally happy.
