When I first began this blog in the description I had this line in the description: "I believe it will be a while yet before I have to grapple with the sad subject of his impending departure from this world due to illness, but hopefully I will have many cat tales to impart before then so that he won't leave this earth unknown and forgotten." But things have now thankfully changed for the better! So those words are now removed.
I'm not sure if it's all the extra attention, or the extra feedings, or divine intervention but Blackie is looking better and gaining more body fat by the day. He's still an older cat of course. No idea just how old. But despite the broken paw he's got his spring back in his step again. I've also noticed he stays pretty close to my home, although he has for some reason picked up a nasty habit of visiting the house next door by going out my drive, on to the street, then back up to the drive of the neighbor's house. There are now also occasions of just sitting in the road which I think is more curiosity than a death wish, especially since one end of the road is closed now for a sewer project and there is hardly any traffic at night compared to normal. Still a bit concerning. But if I open my door he usually comes running to see me.
So for now I am just glad Blackie is feeling much better and that for another day all is well in kittyland.
