Toby's improving!
Originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl

A few days ago, our Toby became very ill. Though we don't yet know the mystery of why or how this happened, it appears that she suffered some neurological damage.

Every day since then she's made leaps in recovery, and while she might never be the ladder-climbing mouthy kitty that she once was, we are hopeful she will recover many of her former abilities and her quirky personality.

Our friends who are caring for Toby sent this video of her eating--a remarkable moment considering how difficult it's been to entice her to food.

Joy, indeed.
