Sparkle’s coat is now softer and shinier than she was when I got her. The clinic was feeding her Science Diet and her hair felt like wire and had no sheen to it.

She’s been eating Fancy Feast and is improving every day.

She’s still leery of hands, which makes me think she was abused, but she can’t talk, so I don’t know. I just know she is improving a little more each day!

That’s great news, Face!

Miss Purry Pet Me was the same way for a long time, but it was
about her tail. She finally realized that I would never pinch her
tail, and that was the end of that.

I suspect that whoever she ran away from was very mean to her
with regard to her 4-inch long tail. She could not bear its being
touched, but I am now allowed to stroke it once or twice, and
she is all right with that.

Best wishes for your making great strides with Sparkle, and may
she become comfortable with your handling her as you slowly
acclimate her to the gentleness of your attention.

Always nice to get good news about Sparkle!

I took five children to the gym in the pouring rain. Then I had a shower. Soon it will be lunchtime. Bill says he’s going to the gym. I’ll have him stop at Walmart for diapers and diet 7-up.
