she's always been, but almost. When the stroke first happened, she slept a lot, just getting up to use the litterbox maybe once a day, and I had to remind her to eat, and hand feed her. Some days she ate ok, some days not, and I had to give her a high-calorie supplement with an eye-dropper. Seemed like she 'forgot' what she should do with food, even if she was hungry. I didn't bother her, just loved her and let her sleep, and she pretty much knew how to cure herself. Animals are so amazing. She's now doing her 'therapy' of walking down the porch railing to the driveway and back up, probably 25 feet or so, and there's only a bit of a tremor in that front paw. It scared me to death to let her do it, but I figured she knew what she could do, and couldn't fall that far anyway. You know how we want to keep our babies safe. But she was fine, and is now dashing into her room to be fed again, and going out in the sunshine looking for mice (she's safe outside here, or I wouldn't let her do it), and she cuddled in bed with me all night last night. She's my little miracle cat, and I thank you all so much for remembering her in your good, kind thoughts and prayers. The little fighter beat the cancer, and the stroke, and is still here having a great quality of life and loving me. Praise God for this, is all I can say. Thanks again for your caring about a little tiger cat you don't even know. Hugs, Marji

That is some good news MArji, thanks for the update and the pictures from your little cat.

Indeed; Praise God in all things. I'm a cat lover too, but am down to one cat. Have an allergic daughter who visits several times a year, so the kitty area is seperate.
Love to your little one. She's a beautiful girl.

Yes, Karma has a little bit bigger ears, I think. But in your photo, you can see they're both thinking mischief-making, the eyes give it away! My perfect Polly is only perfect when she's sleeping, and even then, you can see she's dreaming of things to do, hee hee hee. Thanks, Yvonne, big hugs to you. Marji

that's great news!! I'm very glad for you and Minou

Oh sweet Marji, I just love a happy ending - and it looks to me like we've got one here. So pleased to hear that darling Minou is doing well. Love and hugs to you sweetie.

I'm so glad Minou is doing well Marji. when I visited my daughter in KY one of her kitties was real sick, unable to stand are balance herself. She has a brain tumor they say & she 's very old & all they can do is love her & keep her comfortable along with hand feeding & meds. She was born without a tail & her name is Sugar. they love her dearly & are so sad about it.

Lilian, I'm so sorry for your daughter & her kitty. Sometimes there's just nothing that can be done, couldn't be even if kitty were a human person, and had Dr. House as a physician! I hope they just love her out of this world and into the next. I know, it's too too hard, mine are my kids. Prayers for DD and kitty. Love, Marji

I am so very happy for you.....Love Ya and glad you are having lots of love from your baby....

Marji, we knew you and that was enough for us to pray for Minou. We are please to know that our prayers worked, as well. Your love sure shows in your words and deeds.

Thanks for the update. I'm so glad she's enjoying life thanks to all you've done for her! I hope you can enjoy as well.

Glad to hear your baby is doing well. They are such a tie to our hearts. But such a joy also.

Dear Marji, I'm so happy she is well, God is so good! Loved the pictures, they are precious! Love, Yoriko

So precious the love that is sent to us in different ways. I'm happy your babies are well and back to normal. ;)

Here's Minou sitting on top of the car, just like she always did before! And the third picture is Polly, the little sick kitten my neighbors brought over to me. Well, she's no longer sick, and no longer little! She looks like "Mini-Me" to Minou, they're so much alike! Just as sassy, too. Needless to say, Minou hates her, hee hee hee.

Oh Marji, your little fur babies are just precious.I am so happy Minou survived her ordeal.Has she got any of her nine lives left? They are both beautiful.

I think she may be down to 7, Ricky, but that's still pretty good! Little Polly only used up one, hee hee hee. She would have died if they hadn't brought her to me, poor baby. They're both really lucky little tigers. Polly is at least decently grateful, Minou's the aloof little pistol she's always been, that's how I know she's ok! If she's too cuddly, I know she's not feeling well. Hugs, Marji

Oh Marji, that first picture is priceless. The expression on her face is like "what do your want". Polly really looks as if she could be a off spring of Minou. I am glad they are both doing OK.
