Please Aunty T, when you get time to draw breath, please may we have another piccy of dear Grace in her comfy bed?  :naughty: :pic: :summer flowers:


Oooo - nice one Julie.  I wanted to ask too, but I'm always demanding piccies from Aunty T and understandably she might get fed up with my importunate demands!  :evillaugh:

After making me think she was dead yesterday I have decided that Grace is far too comfy in her new plush bed  :rofl: she sleeps like a baby with an inbuilt alarm that tells her its food time
uses her tray and then gently retires to her cosy bed, Singing Sue ? lazy madam prefers to listen to classical fm in order to save her strength  :rofl: Another good poop this morning so medication definately kicking in, she is down to 2 pouches, 2 dishes dry and 2 huge bowls of water a day now, wish I knew where she was putting it because shes skeletal.

Morning Grace.  Paddy says he's so pleased to hear you're "onna mend" and he wonders if you sing.......?  He says him and Lexy likes a little croon, and he wonders if you do too?  ;D

Bless her - dry will help her put weight on though, so might not be a bad thing.

Just what I was about to put - good job I reread the thread!  :shy: Grace sounds lovely.

Grace is eating well but she is getting fussy, she prefers dry food now and will try to turn her nose up at the wet. Shes still a bag of bones and has a long way to go but at least shes comfortable.

Have only just picked up on this thread. Gosh! It is indeed just like Truman over again. Just looking at her little face fair makes me tear up. God bless the woman who found her, she might not have known an oldie from a youngie but she knew Grace needed help and cared enough to find it for her and thats what matters. Grace is the perfect name for her I think, lovely. It beggers belief that anyone could abandon an old, helpless animal like this. I think about that often with Truman, too, wondering where he came from. One thing I do know is that it was their loss. Every night when Truman is sitting on my chest purring while I read my book in bed I think how lucky I am. Good for you, Teresa, taking her in.

Sending positive vibes that although quick it still hopefully is the med kicking in, I do think if the prob is a high one then the meds do start to act a little quicker!  ;) :Luv: :hug:

Poor little lass.   :hug:  :hug:   So hope the meds will start to show signs of improvement really soon. 

(And I assume as Grace was up at 5 tucking into her food, you were up too...?   :cuddle:  Well, hope you get five mins on Buster's Bench at some point   :Luv:  )

I am so pleased she is doing well, she should start to feel much better soon, shame you can't find an owner poor little soul makes you wonder where has she came from  :(  do give her a big hug from me please Teresa :hug:

Janey I have a confession to make, despite having so many cats here I was envious of you having Pepper, I so love the golden oldies and somehow Pepper made me miss old Buster more than ever so in a way Grace is a blessing, I will pass on your hugs  :hug: and send some to Pepper.

awwww  :hug:  I too have a confession to make T when I saw Grace I wanted her aswell  :shy: I don't know what it is with me and oldies I just want to help them all.  Grace will be very special to you as you will be to her  :hug:

Hope her thyroid is soon under control too, she sounds just like Pepper munching all day  :)

Just tiptoing in to give a gentle early morning snuzzle to the gentle Grace.  :hug: :hug:

The gentle Grace was tucking into her breakfast like a ravenous wolf at 5 this morning, will be so glad when meds start to kick in as although her tummy is better than it was her poops still leave much to be desired while shes eating so quickly.

Quick update, Grace has settled well and her tummy problems are almost resolved now we have her feeding carefully controlled, she is still ravenous all the time but that is normal for a cat with thyroid issues as bad as hers, once the meds kick in she will feel less hungry.
Lady who found her has been really good knocking on doors and doing posters but so far no response.

Just caught up with the beautiful Grace's story.  She is truly beautiful, bless her.

I just want to reach out and touch her.  To think of the poor soul, being dumped and lost, in her condition.  I can't stop crying either. 

Am glad she's found safe shelter, and thank goodness the lady who took her in cared enough to seek help, regardless of the age she thought this little waif was.
