Quick Cat Update

I've been asked to provide an update on my cat's health as the situation unfolds. This is in part because he's very popular. Everyone who meets him likes him, which makes him far more popular than me. But to get right to it, a nice vet called me this morning and said he was "stable"—another way he's got me beat—and that generally he was coming along nicely and might be able to come home tomorrow night. I've visited him last night and tonight, and I can tell you that he'll be glad to be home. Last night he was very affectionate and glad to see me, but tonight he was more anxious and withdrawn. I wish I were some sort of St. Francis type who could take away his fears and make him happy even under the circumstances, but he's in a cage at the vet's with tubes in him and as much as I petted him and talked to him, it wasn't gonna happen. He'd occasionally respond a little, but he won't be happy until he's home, and I won't be either. It's still very quiet around here. But he'll be home soon, and that's the main thing. Anyway, folks, thanks for asking and he's doing well as far as recuperating, but he'll be doing better when he's home. Most of us (although not all) would feel exactly the same.
