I’ve been waiting for Watson’s test results to come back before I posted another update but that seems to be taking forever and a day so I just wanted to let you all know that Watson is doing amazingly well. Right now he’s in his usual energetic and heated morning battle with Dexter. Every day since we brought him home he’s only become stronger. He’s eating and drinking like a champ and completely spoiled with extra tuna and freshly roasted chicken meals. It seems to be one of the few ways I can “trick” him into taking his antibiotics that doesn’t involve torturing him unnecessarily.
I really don’t know what to think. Essentially we were sent home from the hospital thinking that he was going to literally die any second. Most cats diagnosed with FIP only live an average of 9 days. We can’t seem to find anything in the literature about your cat coming home and completely recovering and then passing away, but I guess time and test results will tell. In the meantime we’re thoroughly enjoying having our kitten back to his old energetic and adorable self.
On Friday Chris and I are taking Watson to his normal vet, whom we just love, and we’ll get his stitches out and talk to her about any test results we receive this week. Frankly you wouldn’t even know anything has happened to Watson with the exception of his shaved neck and legs. Amusingly enough both of his front legs were shaved half-way up the leg to accommodate his IV. It makes him look like he’s wearing Uggs. Poor Watson…now he’s a fashion victim too. Please keep those kitty prayers coming! xoxo, Erin

So glad he seems to be doing much better. Love the kitty uggs! Looks like he’s trying to keep up with fashion…he’s just jumping on the band wagon a little late 😉
OMG I missed all the kitty drama last week! Poor Watson! My best friend had a kitten that got FIP earlier this year and they had to let him go. It was heartbreaking. I’m glad to hear that Watson is showing signs of improvement. Hopefully it’s not really FIP and he’ll be back to his normal healthy self soon! Love the leg warmers 🙂
Awww, I love Watson’s little Uggs (and I’ve never said that, ever). I’m so happy to hear that he’s feeling good right now. I am praying that this is all a big mistake and that you’ll have your adorable little kitty around for years to come.
It’s good to hear that Watson is doing better. I have no idea what FIP is, but I’ll look that up! Hope he stays his energetic self and those little uggs look lovely on him…:)
I love that precious angel. Uggs and all!!!
O, I had missed the update on the 24th… So now I know what FIP is… I sure hope that is not what is wrong with Watson!
Hi Erin,
I love his kitty Uggs. It sure sounds like he is recovering so hopefully the test results will all be good. I will look forward to your update and I hope it is good news.
Your kitty looks better in Uggs than I do! I’m glad things are looking up for Watsy-poo.
Watson would look good in anything! So glad he’s feeling better. We’ll keep you all in our prayers and fingers crossed for good test results.
Glad to see he’s better, I definetly keep the prayers coming!
I love his little Uggs, hehe. Still praying for the little guy!
As long as it’s not Uggs paired with a miniskirt….
yay for Watson!
[…] been removed but he still looks lopsided with the missing fur on his neck. Combine that with his kitty Uggs and he’s a regular old walking around riot with […]
He is totally rocking the Kitten Mittens! Love it!!
