Well, Jake continues to amaze me. He is doing extremely well. Still has a hearty appetite. Still getting around. Not showing any signs of pain or discomfort. He is still super-affectionate and loves to have his face rubbed. His body looks like it has filled out more. Not sure if he gained any weight, but he looks more healthy.

Jake is still doing well and has a pretty good appetite. He always walks up to me and wants me to massage his face. Lately,  he's been getting a little pissy-meowing and hissing if I overstep my boundaries. If I try to pick him up, he cries. Not sure if he's in pain or uncomfortablet. He cries every morning when I say goodbye to him, as if he's telling me not to go. He doesn't look really thin-can't tell if he put on any weight or not.

Jake seem to be doing better. His appetite is back to where it was. He did throw up this morning-the first time in about 3 weeks. He is more affectionate and like to receive affection more than in the past. He tried to jump up on the bathroom counter this morning, but didn't make it, so I carried him up. I put a plastic storage bin on the side of the bed, covered with a towel. I'm hoping he will start using that to jump down from the bed, instead of crawling over the night stand and knocking things over. I hope it's him just getting older, and not the disease.

It seems like Jake might be starting to feel better. He's been eating a little more (yesterday, he wolfed down his dinner and wanted seconds). He has a little more pep and is playing/interacting more. Hope he continues to feel better.

Jake has still not been 100% the past week or so. He's eating most of the food I give him. He's been throwing up about 2-3 times the past week, mostly liquid.  Last night, I gave him some catnip. He was going crazy afterwards, trying to get into the package.

I think Jake has been feeling a little under the weather the past day or two. He's a little more mellow, but still eating and still super-affectionate. I noticed he's been pooping a lot more-I'm having to scoop his litter box more frequently. I want to look into doggie steps, as I can see him contemplating for a minute or two before jumping up or down on the bed, counter, etc.

Jake is still eating well. It looks like he is starting to fill out a little more. He threw up a little the other day, but it's only been happening once every week or two. The past few days, he has been super-affectionate.
