GREETINGS FROM STUART!

hi, this is stuart talking here. i'm feeling good enough tonight to get on the computer, mom said it was ok. i am really feeling a LOT better today. i ate hard and canned cat food, and pottied in the litter box, all by myself! i even played in the water dish...one of my favorite pastimes!i am pestering mom, licking her, kneading my paws on her, i've been sitting in front of the computer screen for a while now, grooming myself after my fun in the water dish. i overheard mom talking to dr. hicks, and she has decided that with my recovery since last week, i am doing good enough, and she really does NOT want to put me on any medication, unless my condition gets worse, which would then warrant an echo cardiogram. (mom asked the vet if this would be scary for me, she explained the process, so mom says if i need it, she is ok with me getting one)anyhow, as it stands right now, i'm getting better, feeling better, each day. i am to have a strictly stress free life, but otherwise, she said for mom to let me do my eating and pottying on my own terms, that she does not need to TAKE me there anymore. (bummer, i was LIKING that!!)oh well, i was spoiled really bad before all of this, so i KNOW that won't end! dr. hicks says that mom can put a few drops of RESCUE REMEDY in my water regularly, to keep any anxiety at a minimum for me. this really helped this summer when i got nervous from mom leaving town one time. other than that, mom will just keep close tabs on everything i do, or don't do, and call the vet if there is any change. i may live a long time, i may live a short time, but i am not going to live as some sickly cat. i want to be back to my cheerful, happy little self. i'm on my way to being that fella again, and that makes my family very happy. i think i scared them. anyhow, for today, i am feeling better. thanks to all of you that never even met me, who said prayers, and nice things to my mom when she was so upset. that really helped her stay positive this weekend. she says the people on this board are really nice, and mean a lot to her. well, gotta go, she says it's feeding time, and i'm hungry! nite!! :)
