Not much new to report after Gracie’s foray onto the blanket. She sits on it a lot now!!! Another new little thing is she tends to lie down on my laptop. I think it’s great, even if I can’t work. She also is regularly licking my fingers when I pet her head. Overall, I think […]
Had another new first with Gracie today and it makes me really happy. For background, ever since bringing Gracie home, I noticed that she wouldn’t jump on anything. Even more, she would lie down on anything. No cat beds, no blankets, just the carpet. It made me so sad especially during her recovery from surgery
Gracie continues to do well and seems very happy. Over the past month, her appetite has really improved as she often finishes all of the food that I give her. (Her wet food, not her dry. She continues to eat that in moderation). She also isn’t as much of a “scaredy cat.” When she is
It’s been a bit since I updated, and I’m happy to report that Gracie is completely healed and is pretty much herself after the surgery and recovery. Her eye actually has a beautiful white scar and you can hardly notice that the eyelid is sown shut. We are spending a lot of time playing with
Gracie has fully healed physically from her surgery. That’s the good news. Mentally I’m not so sure as she has developed a new habit I’m not sure I like, hiding in the mornings. Before the surgery I would play with her for a bit before I showered and got ready for work. Now, she runs

Today is the happiest day I’ve had with Gracie since the first time she let me pet. Today, I came home, took off the collar and left. Gracie quickly followed me upstairs. No more basement. When she first emerged from the basement, she went to her favorite play spot in my bedroom. Now she’s sleeping
The last day in a half has seen a big improvement with Gracie. Once I get her collar off, she is a while new cat. And now, she’s not staying in the basement. Yesterday morning she started to go up to the first landing in the basement stairwell before running back down. I did feed
Out of the basement . . . and onto the stairs! Read More »
Last night seemed to be a nice night. Gracie spent a bunch of time without the brace, sleeping, eating and playing. She is still keeping herself in the basement, but I’m confident that will change when the collar comes off for good. Eventually it was time to call it a night so I put the
