I've got it! Gaia is actually MERLIN!
The original one, not the BBC one.
To wit... I got Gaia when she was six month old. She still had her baby butt and everything. She got older (didn't we all?) and staring about two years ago her fur started falling out from the adrenal cancer.
By this time last year she only had fur on her face, her head and her front toes. By this past summer, she had lost the fur on her toes and the top of her head. Her insulinoma was kicking her ass as early as last month to the point where I thought she was going to DIE right there and then.
TODAY? She has fur on her face, her head, her shoulders and all the way down both front legs, including her toes again. She has sparse, but increasing hair down her neck and half way down her back. She has funky stripes that go down her sides to her back legs, which have also become magically furry again. She even has her bib again - still white (well, again white since it was GONE for so long).
She hasn't had her evening meds yet, but she's been running around the bedroom for the past twenty-five mintues. Fifteen minutes longer than she's given me in one day on any given day for the past year.
All I can figure is that she hit a point and then started to AGE BACKWARDS!
