This morning as I was sweeping the cat room, Charlie started playing with the broom. I thought to myself “ok you, you want to play?” I took the ping pong ball out of the Drinkwell and tossed it on the floor and he scampered after it! He batted that ball from one corner of the room to the next and it made my heart sing! He is eating now everything I put in front of him. He is also still gurgling and still lurching his throat, but he is almost 100% better than when he arrived here!

Later on, I opened the doors to the kittens’ room and let them meet each other. Charlie and Shimmer had a good time playing, although he and Trump have some alpha issues to work through. Charlie spent a good 20 minutes with the other kittens and it was grand!
