Oh, Elaine, your Egyptian vibes were so intensely coming through that I made light of even mentioning them but yes, you most definitely carry that in you!
I can remember seeing my very first Egyptian cover on a book as a young child at a library and knowing i wanted to learn all about those kings and queens and cats and mummies.
I think there are many of us who carry early interests or deep fascination among us. What an interesting culture, people, and fascinating cilvilaztion in those times.
I too want to know what more lies hidden behind those walls and in unknown pyramids and catacombs!
I believe there is much, much more than we can even imagine ??
And indeed, when we take our chances and feed stray cats we sure do feed many more creatures as well. The raccoons, possums etc.etc. have well worn paths to my back door though often others wish I hadn't encouraged them by the open feeding. ??♀️
THANK YOU AGAIN EVERYONE!
@michele-b-here-in-the-forum YES and YES!
It's really working. This morning Arlo is being taken to a specialist (by my husband, I need a little break, #selfcare), hopefully they can figure out more exactly what's going on and find a path forward, even if that means just keeping Arlo safe and comfortable. Some good news this morning - Arlo woke up and was back to pretty much his old self. Begging for bacon and cinnamon roll from my plate (of course I shared a few morsels, only fair after all he's been through this week). I'm delighted to see my good boy is on the mend. It may turn out to be a cancer, but it may also turn out that a cancer is coincidental, and that what's happened so far is unrelated but at least brought a cancer to our attention.
Y'all are some of the best angels! Keep going! I will do my best to try to mirror back some healing to all of you later today when things are [hopefully] quieter. I'm going to spend the morning dancing (for real), rehearsing for an upcoming showcase, with a very wise modern dance doyenne who I adore and from whom I'm grateful to receive dance wisdom.

I read your initial post about Arlo when I was in the laundromat on Thursday evening. I was in the middle of a long day, and still had a lot more ahead of me, so I didn't commit much attention to your post. But just as I was leaving the laundromat, a sticker on the front door displaying the name "ARLO" caught my sight (Arlo is apparently the name of the security company that installed their surveillance cameras). It felt like the universe's way of reminding me to commit some thought to your sweet boy. So before I went to bed later, I started meditating on Arlo, and immediately started smiling ear-to-ear. I imagined Arlo rousing himself and eating with gusto as I continued to smile/meditate, so I really am psyched that he's back to his old self. I'll continue to pull for him as both of you navigate a path forward.
My thoughts and prayers to your sweet Arlo!
Hopeful for more good news today about sweet Arlo.
I'm happy to hear that Arlo seems to be feeling better. Wish I had some cinnamon rolls and bacon to send him right now. Also glad to hear that you spent the morning dancing -- a lovely gift of renewal to yourself.
Please keep us posted. I'll continue to send healing energy Arlo's way.
It's brain cancer... we are very sad but determined not to put Arlo through hell just to watch him die painfully. I've already promised him no more vet visits, all the tuna and bacon and cinnamon rolls and butter frosting (within reason) he can stand. We're working on palliative care with our vet to keep him comfortable and happy for as long as possible. We will be arranging for home euthanasia when the time comes in an effort to keep him happy til the last moment.
Thank you again for all the love and light, I can say for sure that he is not in pain right now, which helps.
I am so sorry for you and Arlo. Sending you love & peace as you care for your sweet kitty ❤️
That is crushing news. I know some people have used CBD oil with success. It’s worth a try for both comfort and some people have had tumors shrink, giving a longer life with quality. Good luck to you and blessings to you and Arlo.
