UPDATE
Jojo is doing great. He’s eating and grooming.
He has the freedom of the cage room at the Vets office.
He can leap to the second level to get in his own cage.
He’s also a thief. The tech said he gets things and paper from the can and burys it in his blankets. His stolen paper goes in the litter box.
He’s a clever boy.
Woohoo!
Which means that his shenanigans will fit right in at Casa de Beck. 
I’m just so surprised he’s doing his own thing and his personality is showing.
He’s been thru so much in a rather short period of time.
Amazing.
I’m sending my family to visit some. I want him to know our smell. I sent one of my Tee-shirts I had worn to put in his cage.
Cats are truly wonderous animals.
9 lives indeed.
I think Jojo was on his life #8 when we found him.
Good to hear he’s feeling well enough for displaying shenanigans. Keep up the good work !
Eating, grooming, jumping, and playing!
Yeehah! He’s agonna make it!
He’s got the spirit.
Tough guy. I’m proud of him.
grooming! grooming is a fantastic sign! jojo is turning it around.
I’m so thrilled to hear he’s turning he corner!

Vet called
He thinks he’s found a way to generate healing in Jojo’s absesses.
In a few days he’s gonna go back in and do a radical clean out and add some really good antibiotics. As long as he doesn’t have any bone involvement it should work. He can then clean up the edges to promote healing.
I’m glad he’s waiting a few days. Jojo can get his bearings a bit more.
He must feel loads better already.
The vet said he’s a wonderful cat. He just spews love. And we deserve each other.
I just cried like a baby.
B.
I would too. I’m getting teary-eyed reading this. I’m so happy for both you and Jojo, and blessings on the vet.
Isn’t it a mad mad mad world?
2 weeks ago I was at the bottom of a pit.
I lost my Clarence the possum. I was having weird skin issues, my brain started being insane and doing what it wanted.
One door slammed shut and caught my fingers. Bad, bad, bad time.
I was depressed and thinking about just laying here and giving up.
Then, again cats walked right into my life. And a door flung open. Fresh air and sunshine flowed over me.
There’s just no way of knowing how things will turn out.
Giving up is not really my style, anyway.
And Jojo is gonna need me.
I gotta get home.
Cats. They’re why to get up in the morning.
after this crapfest of a few years I’m dammed glad something working out for someone …
Is there a JoJo update? Is there a Beck update?
<full of antici … pation>
So sorry. I’ve had phone issues due to storms all day.
I’m back up and running. It also was a dialysis day.
Jojo
He’s being a brat today. He was meowing like he was dying at the vet clinic so they had to open the door so he could wander further a-field.
But, bar-none everyone who saw him made awwww, pitiful sounds. The vet put his before and after pictures on the bulletin board.
Tech said everyone donated money to him as they paid their own bill. He’s got about $50.
The vet put it up to encourage neutering of male cats, or this could happen to your cute little kitten.
That amazed me. I’ve donated to things like that. I thought I was probably the onliest person who did. Man was I wrong.
The vet is gonna hold off a few more days on this last surgery to see how he’s doing.
And he was so happy. He thinks he might have invented the technique he was gonna use.
He’s not completely abandoned it.
Not sure I want this little boy to be used as a guinea pig.
The tech said Vet would never do anything unless it’s really needed. She said he’s just not that person.
That eased my concerns.
I know him pretty good from years of going there with all my pets and possum. So I kinda knew too.
They said he was jumping up getting into stuff and racing around. She said she was trying to keep an eye on him as people were coming and going and he would see a dog or cat carrier and do that weird arching the back, stiff legged sideways bounce and spit at it. I love that.
I think things are going swimmingly.
B.
Yay! for JoJo.
My Shiva could teach him a thing or two about yowling pitifully.
Now, how are you doing? Safe, I hope. Sounds like the South was getting some very nasty weather today.
I’m holding my own.
No new seizures.
It seems it was the insulin pump.
I’m rehab-ing my leg strength.
Stationary bikes should be out-lawed. Torture devices in my house
The Vet called:
Jojo is on a right tear. Ever since they got in the office, this morning.
Purring and seeking skritches and love.
She said he looks so good and is very active.
He may go up for adoption 
“My house”?
I meant “my mind”
I’m skeptical of that “mind” some times.
He must be feeling so much better!
I thought you were going to keep him?
