He will go for his ultrasound March 19, their first opening. Just as well about the delay, because as of mid-week next week I'll be traveling for work and won't get back until the day before his appointment.

He still feels fabulous -- he was giving Gulliver ,my roomate's older kitten, heck last night and being brave by pestering my snooty calico Martie this morning. I'm sure everyone will hear more about it in a couple weeks.

:What I do know is even though he's cursed with this, he's also freakishly lucky that he accidentally (I think!) let me catch him. Imagine if he were still outside and suddenly got paralysed? He'd be in pain and a sitting duck. At least now for all the rest of his days he'll be warm, fed the very best stuff, have friendly dogs to rub on, scratching posts to climb, have lots of love and pettin's, and pals to wrestle with. And that's very lucky no matter how you look at it, because it's far, far more than most of the cats in this world have, bad heart or not.

::So, I'm trying to keep the big picture in mind, the important stuff, even though sometimes I feel a little sad too.

:This is the mark of someone who truly loves cats. You are willing to give this baby a loving home even though you know he may have some severe problems down the road that will cause you pain. Bravo!

:::Awww, Ezra, that's a cute name!

:::I can imagine how frustrating it is to get so many opinions from different vets. I hope you'll get a more definate answer soon.

:::I'll keep some **GLOW** going that Ezra's purr is what is confusing everyone and that he's really OK.
