What did your pet(s) do today?

Gemme. I have to say, you are a very good kitty mama! Such devotion. (as it should be)

Pardon my ignorance, but what is sun downing?

I'm so grateful that he's feeling better. His ears are much better and his last grand mal seizure was 2.5 weeks ago. I am so happy about that, although he still has a lot of muscle ticks, sound sensitivities and experiences kitty sun downing every night, it's a far more pleasant experience for both of us. I think he doesn't mind our medicinal routine in the mornings too much as he gets ear rubs and loved on a lot along with the ice cold ear drops, so it's not all bad.

Even though I know he's terminal, for the first time I actually think he'll make it for several months if not more.

Sun downing

For Oliver, this means that he has some balance issues, he sometimes cries for no reason, his ticks and muscle spasms get a lot worse and he has his pre-ictal (pre-seizure) behaviors regularly and/or constantly. Basically, everything gets worse as the day goes on but he doesn't seize and that's a major improvement. It's not easy watching him go through that. He doesn't remember it afterwards but I sure do.

I'm so excited about my two new kitties! They're a black and white brother and sister about 12 weeks. I'm going to try to get them into the vet today for shots. They cried a little last night, but they're very affectionate and sweet. I'll post pictures of them later. 😊
