Kachina 2

[maisfeeka]

Kachina is doing pretty well. Saw my own vet today and was able to hold her as they took her blood pressure. She was very calm in my arms, let the vet shine nasty bright lights in her eyes and everything. Her blood pressure was down to 110/60 (from 250 on Sunday), so the vet was thrilled. (And impressed as they couldn't believe how low it is

Glad to hear she is doing better!

Me too! Now if I can just motivate myself to get up and actually shower so I can go to bed!

YAY!! I was worried about your kitty. :[ I love the name, btw. And I'm so glad that things are getting better! Keep us updated, plz.

Also - in the event of blindness being more drastic and/or permanent than you anticipated, my childhood cat was blind for about the last three years of her life, and got on AMAZINGLY well. I love how adaptive they are.

She had already adjusted better by Monday night than I'd ever have imagined. I have no doubt that she would have adjusted far quicker and better than I would just to knowing she was blind.

However, at least for now, she seems to have at least some sight back. She's not as good when it's dark, but I was sitting in the bathroom with my leg out wiggling my foot (it's a game we've played since she was a kitten), with no hope she'd even be able to notice, and she walked by in the hallway about 5 feet away, stopped and turned and came right over and arched up so my wiggling foot ran along her side. That's better than just 'some light and shadows'! So, I'm happy for every little thing she gets back and for whatever time I have left with her!
