She finishes her medicine today and she is doing so much better now. She is miserable being confined, so we talked it over and decided when she gets her last dose of antibiotics that we will just open the door and let her back outside. Her feline buddies have been clustered around the catio when she is out there and keeping her confined could mean that she could slip back into sickness just from the stress. She will live out her life on her terms and not ours. Some cats are just that way.

I have managed to establish a bond with her which I hope will continue after she is released. Time will tell.
