This is me, kitties, dictating my bloggie and washing my face and hands at the same time. Now, it's not a particularly good picture in composition or any other way except one...and that is: I am content, I'm here at the computer full of breakfast and I'm going about my life normally and not UTB.
I have to think that the meds have taken hold because I ate an entire can of Fancy Feast a few minutes ago minus a few shards still in the plate from pushing it around, for breakfast. I hate going to the v-e-t but mom and I are looking forward to seeing if I gained any weight next time I go. And it looks like the spacing out of the time to go will now be a reality! That makes us both very happy. I was about to ask mommy for frequent PTU miles on accounta I was hauled in there so often.
Thank you for your reading my blog yesterday and understanding why mom was so afraid for me. We are both hoping that things will continue to get better. Mom and I know there are problems with steroid therapy in the long run but the Vet said that for me, benefits far outweighed the side effects down the road.
Enough of that! Let's celebrate another day and let's celebrate creamy chinned Torties. Me. MOL.

Here's to lots and lots and lots of Normal. dear Admiral. You had Mom chucklin at the Frequent PTU Miles.
Frequent PTU miles ... MOL!
Admiral, we are sure glad to read that you are doing better (a whole can of Fancy Feast - fantastic!). We are purring and praying for you, as always, dear friend.
Yay! Iz so happy for you dear Admiral.
We are so happy that your medicine is working and you are feeling better, Admiral! We know you hate the vet and we're happy that you won't go as frequently!
YAY sweetie. I is so very happy too. I was very worried bout you too and am so happy to hear your good news. Most of all you and mom can relax now and enjoy time together, which is so important. Hugs for mom and SMOOCHES for you sweet girl.
So glad the meds are working. Life will be so much better with less worries and hopefully fewer trips to the vet. Have Mom give you a nice petting for me.
Yes, yes, yes!!! Way to go sweet Admiral! We love hearing that you ate a whole can of Fancy Feast this morning. You look so soft, sweet and cuddly in that picture. Big hugs and lots of nose kisses
Admiral, a whole can of FF-- that's terrific! Keep it up! :-)

We are delighted you are eating like food is going out of fashion - a whole tin of fancy feast is a good start.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Good morning, ma cherie! I am thrilled to hear about your hearty appetite, and also to witness your toilette. I loves my ladycats freshly-washed. Mmmmmm. I'll be over as soon as your Human leaves for work.
HOORAY!!!! Keep on eating for mom Admiral.
xoxo
We sure hope you do get frequent PTU miles. But wonder what you will get, hopefully not more trips to the v-e-t. Maybe some extra treats since you are a little hungry.
Our Mom has something to tell you about the steroids. Our sisfur Holly has been on Prednisolone for four years now and so far she hasn't had any bad effects. That is a little difference in these and the prednisone. Are you getting steroid shots Admiral?? Our sisfur Holly gets pills twice a day.
Anyway,we are so glad you are feeling better and eating so much.
YEAH!!!
Hey - are there presents for frequent PTU miles?? We don't like to travel, but we do like presents.....
Keep up the "normal".....
Beautiful. We LOVED this post!!!
Your report makes me so happy. Now it's time to Play Ball!
Oh Sweet Admiral, you just made my whiskers grin up again!!!
Star says, "You know I will love and groom you no matter what, my precious! I believe that your new meds will help keep your appetite up so that you will regain your weight. You look so lovely my sweet. Please keep out from UTB so everycat can see your lovely furs!! ::kitty kisses::"
Yay Admiral thisis good news!!!
We wish WE got Fancy Feast...it's just Friskies Pate for us. Miss Admiral, we are over the moon that you seem to have turned the corner to good health. We certainly know how frightening it is to have a sick kitty at home. Say, do you want to come over and watch pigeons with us? Rupert will save you a seat!
That is great that you're eating so much better, Admiral! I read in the book Your Cat and had it verified by a vet at the clinic I go to that cats who are on longtime steroid treatment come through it with less of a potential of side effects from steroids if they eat a high-protein, no dry-food diet. No studies - just anecdotal info, but it's worth mentioning.
It's wonderful that you ate a whole can of FF. We love this photo of you there with your Mom.
Keep eating, sweet Admiral
xoxo Kassey and her Mom
Good to see the eating.
We love seeing you so content Admiral! Hope you get a big prize for all your frequent PTU miles too! MOL
I'm so glad you're doing well Admiral. Such a beautiful lady (as if you didn't already know that).
You know, it's not often a lady can eat with the intent of gaining weight. Enjoy while you can. :-)

We are so glad the meds are helping you!!!

Dear Admiral Hstorb,
Sometimes life is tough so we get tougher. Yous is one tough kitty. Me loves you

Oh Admiral, keep up the good eating! My Mommeh bought an electronic baby scale which weighs pounds and ounces and is very accurate. She got it when one of the cats-who-came-before was very sick and she needed to monitor his weight. Now she weighs us about once a month to catch any weight changes in me or Harley.
Harley had lots of Depo-Medrol injections, and he has used lots of prednisone, but the vet said cats usually have less long-term side effects from steroids than dogs. We're keeping you in our thoughts and purrs!
Yay, Admiral! We're glad you almost cleaned your plate!! And you are a very good multi-tasker...dictating and washing at the same time!
I am here & I want to celebrate you too!
My name is Oskar & I have a blog that I'd love for you to check out, www.PetBlogsUnited.com. It's a great place for pet bloggers to find each other and get some exposure!
Nubbin wiggles,

I missed yesterday's blog due to the Jewish Holiday of Passover so I will try and read it very soon. I am soooo happy that you are "full of breakfast!!" The "frequent PTU miles" cracked me up!
xoxo
We are glad you had a whole can by yourself. We will be asking our mom for a whole can for each of us too - 5 cans for 5 cats. She usually gives us 2 spoonfuls each. Hmmm...
