...Mackie update, 2.3

Mackie is different today...
on one hand he seems stronger and less confused...
on the other, he feels thin today...

today he's eaten... when offered food...
and made a trek to the cat box...
he's also washed himself a number of times...
and the snowy white paws have emerged from the grimy ones...

after sleeping on the top level of a cat tree...
for most of the afternoon, anyway...
Mackie descended to the 2nd level, getting my attention..
so after giving Molly a bone to chew...
I fed the kitties and scooped out a tablespoonful for Mack...

I carried it in...offered it to him...
he sniffed it... then sniffed again...
and just like he had done twice earlier...
he began to eat...& ate almost all of it...

when he'd had enough...he retreated "up"...



hoping to avoid the meds...& water to follow...



once there...he washed himself...



and kept a close eye on me...



his senses were accurate...because I did grab him...
bringing him back down to give the meds & water...
which he tries to spit out...& then sits drooling...



as soon as he was composed again...up he went...



letting me know that he "was NOT pleased"...
and would I PLEASE.. now leave him alone for a while...



then he made himself as small as possible...

good night Mackie...sleep well & hang in there...
a lot of people are praying for you...
so do your part and let yourself get better...

God is good...ALL the time...

thanks again so much...
to all you kind-hearted souls...
who are praying for us...
we do appreciate it...
