If you haven't been following us, this is Santa!! She has feline stomatitis, which causes red swollen gums, mouth & lymph nodes, excessive drooling, and severe discomfort to the point some cats stop eating and depart for the bridge. She is on a new medicine and has been avoiding me for a month because it tastes very bad. Just now she came up to see me for a serious snuggle sesh! I can't believe it!! I hope this means she's feeling better and won't hate me for the bath she's about to get!
