His old self

Jack is visibly improving. His old boisterousness is definitely returning along with his hyperactivity. He is playing with toys, rushing around the house and begining to make a damn nuisance of himself... Oh, how I missed that! It is remarkable.

Even his legs seem to be improving. He still walks cagily down the stairs, but the problem of coordination seems to have diminished. There is still a problem, but it is much less noticeable. I assume that this could be due to reduction of the swelling in his head.

Overall he is a significantly happier and improved cat since the dark days of Friday and Saturday. He is off to the vets again this morning, but I expect that they will also be delighted with his improvement. To think that all he is on at the moment is an anti-inflammatory and some antibiotics. No pain killers are required. Jack and mother nature seem to be doing an incredible job.

The main worry now is the 'Sword of Damacles' that is literally dangling over his head. The poor chap still has the pellet lodged in his head and this could potentially change his condition dramatically at any moment. A slight blow to his head on the wrong spot could send that pellet further towards his brain, causing irreparable damage or death.

So despite his marked recovery... it is still 'day by day', and today...

Jack is alive...

and being a lovable nightmare!
