I want to thank everyone for sending along good thoughts for Macroom; it's been a stressful week for us!
As you may have read from Clare's blog, our little kitty has been quite sick lately. Our vet warned me there was a really good chance Macroom wouldn't pull though, but was hoping the medication she prescribed would make a difference.
I'm happy to report that after just 24 hours from his blood-boosting injection, and the first round of pills (two kinds), he's shown a marked improvement!
The past week Macroom has done little more than sleep. He wasn't eating, drinking, using the litter box, 'talking', interacting, cuddling...anything. He was breathing laboriously, and would just look at us...but not do anything.
After the shot and pills, he started walking around the house. He ate a bit of food (Chicken of the Sea? Thank you), and mewed enough to get Wicklow worked up.
Best of all, he jumped up on the couch, and cuddled with us last night.
So, another set of pills, and he's doing even better!
Eating more, 'talking' a blue streak now and then, following us everywhere, and full-blown snuggling.
His breathing is still a bit ragged, but when the vet calls tomorrow for an update, I can honestly tell her Macroom is doing a lot better.
Because there is improvement, we'll continue with this method of treatment until next Monday.
Hopefully, by then, he'll be much better.
I promise to keep you guys updated, and thank you again for keeping us in your thoughts!
Vegas, Baby!. We're all about giving in and indulging this time around, so start planning those entries!

- Roll Over, I'm Tired: Wdb $12
All that worrying about Macroom had Wicklow and Donegal tuckered out. The problem was, there wasn't enough room on the couch for everyone. No big. Wicklow just climbed on top of Donegal, and made himself comfortable. Be sure to visit Sweetnicks...
- Wdb#11 & Wcb#25: Peace Talks Begin
Crazy Macroom has decided that rather than hide from the big, bad dogs (under the staircase), he's going to curl up on Alex's Enormous Bear...on the dining room floor! Wicklow has been beside himself, going up to Marcroom and sniffing, licking,...
- Wcb#23: Temporary Relocation
As sending his best wishes out to Clare and Kiri this weekend took all his energy, Macroom promptly fell asleep in Alex's Scooby Doo chair. Of course, he's not clever enough to recognize the irony. Please visit Farmgirl and boo_licious to see...
- Wcb #14 How Do You Do?
It's Weekend Cat Blogger time; please stop by eatstuff to see all the other kitties! Alex is so sweet and gentle with Macroom...and our kitty acts more like a dog than a cat; snuggling, curling up at my feet when I'm at the computer. I'm...

Introducing Macroom, the newest member of our family. A nine week old kitty cat...the dogs want to eat him, and the cat wants nothing to do with the pups. But, Macroom is incredibly snuggly. He loves to curl up around my neck, or be cradled in one...
