Katom is back to himself

I'm happy to report that Katom (our beloved cat that we brought here with us from the States!) is feeling much better and is back to himself!

When we took him in to the vet Sunday evening, he still wasn't feeling very well. They tried to get blood from both of his front paws and managed to get some. However, they asked us to bring him in again Monday morning for Roi, the senior vet, to get fresh blood from the jugular vein. On Monday morning, Katom seemed to be feeling better, but we still took him in, of course. Amazingly, he didn't even flinch when the vet literally went for his jugular! They got a good sample and sent it off to the lab for analysis.

Already by Monday evening, it was evident that Katom was feeling better. We noticed that he used the litter box, and he even ate a little. Even before we got the lab results (on Wednesday, I think), we knew that he was going to be OK. Indeed, the lab results showed nothing very far from normal. It's possible that he had kidney stones and that they passed through in the end. In any case, we are so VERY thankful for his recovery! Throughout the rest of the week, his strength has only been improving.
