Yoshimi has taken to rattling her cage with her feeding tube...
Yoshimi has added the tail to her pose:
And this is the look she gives me when I put her back in the crate:
And she has taken to rattling the cage bars with her feeding tube:
Things are slowly, slowly improving. She hasn't peed outside the box since Sunday and has only thrown up twice in the past week and both were very small (quarter size) watery vomits. I have heard her eating kibble for the past four nights (although it must just be one or two pieces, because the bowl isn't going down) and while she is still weak, she isn't wobbly anymore.
She has another check up on Tuesday, but I am hopeful that I can escape for two nights next weekend for camping. I've been able to get some work done now that I have my netbook back and have incorporated a few things back into my schedule (running! yoga!) and escaped the house a few times to visit with friends. Next week will be an experiment in getting actual research done.
Last night we did bouldering - ouch! Bouldering is climbing without a harness and looks desceptively easy because you stay pretty low and I think most people think climbing is about height. You spend at leat 75% of your time bouldering staring at the wall and talking to people, working out the problem. You can really see the difference in how men and women climb when you watch people bouldering - men power up with upper body strength, women move more gracefully and use their lower body strength:

Man powering through (but with some nice moves):

This may sound like a dumb suggestion, but maybe switching out the kibble for "fresh" might make it more appealing to her?
Or, is she allowed to have any kind of kibble? i find my cats go NUTS over kitten food kibble, I think it has more fat in it or something, they get it for treats.
I dunno, just a thought... maybe she has to have very special food given her delicate digestive system right now. Just thought I would mention it in case you are trying to entice her to eat more on her own.

And I'm a crappy climber, but while I know it's good training, bouldering has just never been much fun for me.
