The Dude continues to improve. We will not be releasing him into the general population today, after all.
Since we are still monitoring food and liquid intake and it's subsequent "release", it's so much easier to do it when the beast in question is segregated. Remember, there are five cats and at this point in their evolutionary cycle, have not managed to make their litter box deposits with unique ID attached.
So The Dude remains in our bedroom in solitary. Earlier today, we let Ben in to see him. Ben initially ignored Zack; there were way too many new scents for him to discover all at once. However, once the initial scent foray was completed, the two buds nuzzled one another and Zack decided to clean Ben's large face as he dropped his head and leaned in towards The Dude.
Cute moment. Would have been a Kodak moment, except nary a cell phone or camera was to be found.
We spoke at length with Dr. Jeff and we all agreed to keep The Dude in isolation -- not that he's contagious or infectious, but...
So likely Friday or Saturday, we'll "release the hound", so to speak.
We're all doing so much better with administering his meds and that regimen too should also be completed by Friday. Zack now sees me approaching with a syringe full of his medication and he jumps onto our bed and prepares himself for the inevitable dosing.
Sheryl and I pretty much do the same.
