Hurrah!!

Dain's brain has started working again! Last night he started playing with scraps of paper on the floor. Doesn't sound like much, but that's the first "kitteny" thing he's done since I brought him home.
Today, he started eating. Canned dog food is a total hit, he's eating like a little piglet.
I am extremely happy about this, as it means there's a much much much higher chance of his becoming a mostly-functional cat that can be adopted out, as opposed to either being euthanatized or tube-fed forever.

*happydance*

That's awesome!

I'm certainly happy about it! I'm even using excessive exclamation points, and I almost never do that!!

I don't know if it is appropriate for a total stranger to tell you that you rock, but you totally rock. May all of the gods continue to smile upon you, and smite irresponsible animal custdodians with bolts of electrified faeces....

awww :*) Aren't you sweet?
Want a kitten?

[sagaciouslu.livejournal.com]

You know, if I ever have the chance to buy you dinner or a pint IRL, I wouldn't be surprised if you could talk me into one. Allergies to things with four feet and fur notwithstanding....

Speaking of, how come you didn't answer when I offered to meet you for dinner in Colville on your road trip awhile back? and more to the point, will you be coming through again sometime?

in celebration, i will use the icon with the keyword: "!" (well, keysymbol, anyway)

yay for kitty!

seems like other animals on my friends list are getting *dumber*-- there were at least 3 instances of people's animals getting stuck between beds and walls and similar situations. other than some parental head-shaking, i think everything turned out fine in all the stories i heard about. but still-- glad to hear about an animal getting *smarter* and more competent, rather than the other way around. :)

[draggonlaady.livejournal.com]

well, honestly, if he got any dumber than he started, he'd have forgotten to breathe. And that's not hyperbole.

Congrats! Hooray! I hope it continues!

[herdarkmistress.livejournal.com]

YAHHHHHHHHH.
Lets hope Dain gets to became as normal as he can.
Wonderful news.

[draggonlaady.livejournal.com]

yayayaya! he seems to've gone manic about food now. though he's more enthusiastic than efficient about it...
seems i need to find some canned kitten chow, cuz i can't really raise him on dog chow.

[draggonlaady.livejournal.com]

indeedy. then I can ship him to you ;)

[herdarkmistress.livejournal.com]

Ok if you pay for shipping and quarantine and guarantee my cat wont eat him. He sounds so sweet.

[kresentia.livejournal.com]

Well, you could, but it might be a bad business move. Lol! I just gave away a bunch of food my cats hated (they are hugely fussy and don't really like any canned!). Wish I hadn't! So glad he's doing better!

[draggonlaady.livejournal.com]

Stopped by petsmart friday and picked up some canned kitten food, didn't see you though :(
Stupidly forgot to leave shep's leash for you while i was there. bad on me.

[draggonlaady.livejournal.com]

hah. I can't guarantee anything about a cat i've never met :P

[sagaciouslu.livejournal.com]

My failure to respond to your very kind invitation is inexcusable, but I offer my apologies anyways....

The dates of the muchly anticipated roadtrip kept getting pushed back, and I am now looking at wander by your general vicinity in August 24-26 range. I would most happily meet you for dinner, and would be pleased to stand you and your sweetie to a pint, should your invitation still be good....

Be well...

[draggonlaady.livejournal.com]

well, i'll be on call that weekend which is ok unless i get called, but monday evening should work. let me know when you get the final dates :)

[sagaciouslu.livejournal.com]

Will do. And, thank you!

[kresentia.livejournal.com]

I don't work Fri... Oops. I'm actually off Weds/Thurs/Fri.
I've got leashes so no hurry. Besides - they probably would have just lost it if you had left it.
