Mack continues to eat solid food, and continues to improve in ways that make me smile at things I used to be frustrated over ... like his tendency let us know he wants a door opened by pawing at it (hollow core) for several seconds at a crack. It's almost as bad as fingernails on a chalkboard! But now it means he's feeling well enough to HAVE demands, and that is a GREAT thing!
I will know he's REALLY feeling well when I find his teeth marks in plastic grocery bags and in the lint roller's sticky-tape that has been pulled out of wastebaskets!
His solid food consumption seems to be steadily increasing, which is very encouraging. He's learning that he doesn't need to wait for us to feed him!
Saturday night, while I was sleeping, he parked himself next to my pillow and laid his head on my shoulder for several hours, purring most of the time. Very sweet ... except I believe it was less a gesture of affection, and more an attempt to get the full belly that often results when he purrs next to me.
Unfortunately for him, it didn't fill his belly this time -- which could be why he didn't come near me at all last night. But there was a measurable increase in the amount of dry food missing from the bowl of Kitty Chow in the morning!
