Woo-hoo!

Cat update the millionth:

Sam and GreyKitty both took a trip to the vet again yesterday; Sam finally had his bloodwork done so we can see if he's healthy enough to have his teeth cleaned, and GreyKitty needed a follow-up to see how her treatment is going. The results are in!

Sam: 100% healthy! No elevated anything. Healthy! Scheduled for teeth cleaning for next Tuesday.

GreyKitty: No longer diabetic! I seriously have been suspecting this for at least a couple of weeks now. She had pancreatitis, and diabetes is caused by a poorly-functioning pancreas, so when her pancreas got better, her diabetes disappeared. The vet pronounced her "a completely different cat" when he saw her, and was very excited to see that she'd added over a pound back. Her kidney levels are the tiniest bit elevated, but they have been for more than a year. He wants to see her in about a month for another check, but...Woo-hoo! No more insulin injections! No medications at all! Yay, GreyKitty!

I have three almost entirely healthy cats! Life is good.

You know, this means that you can take vacation time to go do something fun, without having to worry about who's going to shoot the cat!!

You know that that was the very second thing that popped into my head, after "Yay! No diabetes!"
