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.

Sunday, 7/31/11

The past few days, Jake's appetite has increased. He is now eating 8-10oz/day. He's acting more like himself. I can't tell if he's gaining weight yet, but I'll keep an eye on him over the next few weeks.
