		<description>Thank you Nancy. She was worse on Monday, but picked up somewhat yesterday. The vet is not without hope, and we are constantly monitoring her welfare with all the medicalisation etc...We don't want to put her through too much. But if it's what he hopes it is, she will make a slow but full recovery.

Sigh. Hard! Schubert wanders around, very vocal, missing her so much.

		<description>Thanks Sue. She's certainly on the short-term mend...The big question is whether the cause of these symptoms is treatable or not. Gulp. We lost two 17 year old cats recently -- one last year and one the year before. It was so quick with both of them, and they'd had good lives, etc. Awful, but dealable. This feels so different, with such a young cat, the children so attached from kittenhood....And the wait.

Thanks for your thoughts.

		<description>Ooh, so sad.  I do hope she recovers well, and it does sound from above that she's on the mend.  I'm a cat person too, and I still think about Mikra who was with me from graduation from Uni, through graduate school, through 2 boyfriends, finding my husband and bearing my first son. They do get under your skin, don't they?  Sending all the best from SW1.</description>

		<description>Thank you Caroline and Deborah -- it helps hugely to have such support, and so quickly. Reports from the vet this morning are that she is brighter and eating. I will read your post about Boots Caroline, thank you. Tilly is Mathilda too! Sigh. She's seems *such* a frail creature, but of course, cats aren't really...

		<description>How I wish I could put my arms around all of you and tell you it will be okay. How I wish I could make magic. How I wish you know you are in my thoughts, wrapped around you and little Tilly like a soft warm blanket.
How I wish...
G-d, I know how you are feeling, but that doesn't help one bit, does it?
Bon courage and much love,
Deborah</description>

		<description>That's too sad :(

Our Boots was very ill last year - &lt;a href="http://insearchofadam.blogspot.com/2007/03/gaps.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;it's here&lt;/a&gt;.
I know the sense of loss of control and the wanting to pull together as a family/to protect your children from any emotional upset.

Thinking about you all and sending you many positive thoughts.

xxx

ps My other cat is Matilda (Tilly).</description>
