Anne and I went to visit Felix this morning, and he just looks wonderful! He’s really responding to the medication, and the tech told us that he’s been “eating like a pig” all day! Of course, we don’t know if he’ll continue to improve or take a turn for the worse when we bring him home, but we’re hoping for the best. If nothing else, it was wonderful to see him looking just like his old self today. His eyes were bright, and we couldn’t see his third eyelids at all. I snapped a great photo of him with my cameraphone, and it should be in the moblog right now.
He was so happy to see us both. He purred so loudly I could hear him across the room, and he let us smother him with love and affection. It’s funny . . . he’s a very affectionate cat, but only on his terms. If we love him too much, he’ll chomp right down on our hands, then turn his back to us, and shake his stump (he’s a Japanese Bobtail, so he’s got a little stump where other cats have tails. It’s pretty cool.) Today, though, he couldn’t get enough love from us. We both sat on the floor, and he just walked back and forth between us, rubbing his face against our hands, and really “talking” quite a bit. He was obviously unhappy about the IV in his little paw, but he didn’t complain about it too much.
We also snuck in some of his favorite food, which he sort of liked. He was more interested in the gravy, but I was just happy to see him eating.
They tell us the visits from a cat’s staff (that’s us) can help the cat do better, and it makes me happy to see him, so I’m going to try to see him again this afternoon. I have an audition for a cartoon down in Hollywood, so it’s going to be close, but if the traffic is willing, I should make it.
Anne and I are beyond moved by the caring and support, as well as the kind advice from so many WWdN readers. I’ve heard from many vets, who have given me encouragement as well as suggested some things to talk to our vet about, and I’m very grateful for that.
We took the dogs for a walk up this canyon earlier today, to give them exercise and to give us a change of scenery while we train for the marathon, and I was telling Anne about all the support and caring that WWdN readers have sent our way, and I got to thinking . . . it’s an incredibly positive chunk of energy, isn’t it? I mean, there are so many ways to make the Internet suck, and here we have found a way to make it not suck, here at this website.
I have always thought that the Internet was about communication, and sharing of information . . . but over the last few years, we’ve shared more than just information. We’ve shared kindness, and support, and love, and all sorts of that tree huggin’ hippie crap that I wish there was more of in the world.
I hope that people who read this site can grab a little bit of that, and help spread it around. It’s pretty cool.
Oh, and this other thing that’s really cool: on our hike up the canyon, we walked past a bunch of cabins . . . and one of them was called “Tom Bombadil’s Castle.” It was under a grove of trees, and everything! I looked for hobbits, but they must have been sleeping.
And thank you to everyone who is helping out with the crapflooding problem. The noose is tightening.

Woo Hoo! First Post??? I, for one, take all the positive energy you give off and pass it out as much as I can./Gazes and smile at his Buddha on his desk.
I’m so glad to hear that Felix is doing better. Yea! My oldest cat is part Japanese Bobtail and part Maine Coon, so he’s got the little stump tail going and it is too cute when he wiggles it, especially since he’s got the long silky hair. Yea for lil’ stumpy tailed cats!
I’m also glad the noose is tightening on the fuck-heads that spammed your comments. I missed that whole drama, but it pisses me off that you had to deal with that crap. Go Wil! Get ’em, Wil!
hey Wil,
I am so happy to hear your kitty is doing better, I will still keep sending the mojo your way. And yes, the internet can suck but like you pointed out there are very good things about it as well. Hugs to you, and Anne, and Felix.
Em
we love wil…and felix the bear too…
*warm fuzzies to socal*
Yay! I’m so glad Felix is better. and also happy oy help with the kindness/joy things going on here. 😀 you keep writing your great posts and we’ll keep posting.
That’s good news. I’m glad Felix is feeling much better. More good vibes for him!
Will & Anne:
This is indeed great news! I will keep praying to everyone from Bastet to St. Francis for Felix’s recovery so he can come back home soon.
I’m relieved to know Felix is better. I hope your Kitty fully recovers.
Chad
glad that Felix is doing better, hope that the good wishes helped…
hope you catch the bastards that did that crap.
yay for felix 🙂 I hope he gets (and stays) better! best wishes.
Yay, I’m so glad to hear the kitty is improving. My Isabelle, (or am I her Alice?) has a stump too, and it’s just the cutest thing. Bobtails rule! I’m also really pleased to know that all the tree-huggin-jedi-catholic-hippie-crap-monkey-mojo we were all sending has been helpful. You share so much with us, it’s only fitting that from time to time we should give a little something back. May the force be with you, Felix, and the rest of the fam.
I had that moment with my Grandmother once, and it is probably the best memory I have.
Im so glad Felix is feeling better.
And I hope we can all spread the love, hope, and kindesses around too.
Yay! I’ll continue to send healing-kitty-mojo Felix’s way, and good luck on your cartoon audition this afternoon! 😀
I am glad you cat is doing better. My roommate and I will be keeping him in our thoughts.
Happy to hear Felix is doing better! I will keep him in my thoughts (and his people, too! :-))
Yay Felix!!!! Glad to see you guys are in better spirits and Felix is doing better. Hope so much he will get well, so have some more of that mojo!!!! Cats are amazing. I don’t have one, but our neighbor’s cat Ziggy and Daisy are pretty cute and cuddly, and always come to visit, and I love them.
WWdN = World Peace.
More magical healthy-kitty brain vibes coming your way from V (the human), Farkle (the kitty) and our own Bear (the puppy). We’re all rooting for you & Felix!
I’m glad to hear Felix is better. My 2 kitties (Zoey & Daphne) and their staff send much fuzzbucket mojo to you and yours.
Great news! Jedi, Rascal, Dee and I are still sending good thoughts your way!
Glad to hear about your kitty!
I don’t know what I’d do if that happened to one of ours.
Good luck on the bounty hunt, here’s hoping you can recreate the scream scene from The Serpent and the Rainbow…
Damn you, now that Felix the Cat song is going to run through my head ALL FREAKING DAY.
Curse you, Wil Wheaton!
P.S. I hate you
Love,
Edgar or something
I’m glad the cat’s okay. 🙂
Im glad you cats feeling better! I couldnt imagine my dog going thru it. Good luck!
Yay for Felix! Our cats Fido and Tulum send lots of good kitty vibes.
Dig it
He must have reached into his bag of tricks. 🙂
Continuing good wishes for you guys and Felix. I hope you have many more happy years together.
I’m so happy to hear your kitty is doing so much better. I never had pets as a child, and now I have two kitties I’ve had for 4 years now, who I just started loving instantly. I would be so devastated if anything happened to either of them, so I’m glad that you’re feeling the happy instead of the sad.
Best wishes for a continued get well soon from my two empathetic cats, Bobby (the Popular One) and Peter (the Smart One). 🙂
Woohoo! Congrats to Felix. I’m so glad he pulled through.
Wil,
Way to go for you all. I am so happy for you all, and the continued love and support flows from our house to yours. 🙂

So glad to hear that Felix is continuing to recover! I love Japanese Bobtails, and breed and show them as well. Kyouju, Okesa, Eddie and Wendy send extra Bobtail purrs, and Mina, Lilith and Ariel (the moggies who put up with the Bobtail insanity) will keep up the healing mojo too.
your cat has a darn good staff…may the healing continue.
Very happy to hear the cat is doing better Wil. Obviously all the love he’s been given all these years has made him a fighter.
Hey it’s awesome that the cat is doing better.. Although I am sadly allergic to cats and cannot share in their joy, all family pets are awesome and are a special part of a family.
I hope you nail the scumbags from yesterday as well!!
Jason
Wil,
My cat, Squeaky, and I send our love and support. Her meow is just a little squeak except when she is hungry. I am sending vibes to Data and Spot to send their love to Felix, also.
All my love,
Freeman 🙂
Don’t tell me there isn’t a God! 🙂 Sooooo happy for you! Chris is better, Bear is better good things are a happenin’

Never underestimate the power of the WWDN Mojo Network… Glad to hear that the Bear is rallying!
Thank you so much for updating us on how Felix is doing, sweetie. I think that’s a good reminder for all of us with cats that their spirits are so much larger than their little bodies.
Still sending healing MOJO and meows from PK, btw.
YES!!!! I’m so glad to hear it. I’ve been down the sick and dying cat road myself and it sucks dingo kidneys. Go Felix!
I’m delighted to hear that Felix is doing better. Thanks so much for updating, Wil. I’ll keep sending mojo–as much as I can spare and then some.
Good luck! 🙂
Awwww, little Felix. We’ll be sending good thoughts to you and Felix tonight as we fill up our cat Duncan with SubQs. I know how hard it is on you guys. Duncan’s spent some time in kitty hospital too. But he’s on the mend. Matter of fact, he’s back on his tequilla kick. If Felix is up for it, we’ll bring over the good scotch. Wait, is that bad for your kidneys?
Wil,
I cannot pass up this opportunity to tell you my favorite cat story:
Data to Worf: “Worf, while I am away will you please feed Spot and talk to him and tell him he is a nice cat and a beautiful cat…”
Worf: “I will feed him!”
Gotta love it.
Freeman 🙂
A bounty on their heads? The noose is tightening?
Wil, you’re sounding dangerously like a Republican…
In all seriousness, good luck catching the sickos who did this…
Great news about Felix! I’m so glad he’s doing better. It’s nice to know all our good juju can make a difference.
YAAAAAAY Mr.Felix
Just get better and better babe……
love from pilch,Rocco and Sooty
some of them is cats,innit……..
Wonderful to hear that Felix has taken a turn for the better.
New-ish reader to your blog, but always been a fan. This is one of my favorite places to come for positive energy – was directed here by my other source (my best friend).
FELIX THE WONDERFUL CAT
He’s a-maz-ing, he’s re-mark-a-ble,
He is fear-less, un-be-liev-a-ble.
He is su-per doo-per and ex-trao-di-na-ry.
He’s the kind of guy that keeps you feel-ing mer-ry.
Who?
Fe-lix the cat__the won-der-ful, won-der-ful cat.___
When-ev-er he gets in a fix he reach-es in-to his bag of tricks.
Fe-lix the cat___the won-der-ful, won-der-ful cat.____
You’ll laff so much your sides will ache your heart will go
pit – a- pat watch-ing Fe-lix the won-der-ful cat.
P.S. Lets continue tightening that noose around the that alien lifeform called SUB-HUMANOIDS
WONDERFUL!! So glad to hear that the Felix Kitty is doing better. And I am pushing good vibes as hard as I can. Im sparing all the ones that I dont need right now. Its good to see people that can have pets and love them and have them love you back. They are like kids in more way than one. Myself and a few of my friends are lighting candles and sending love and light to the Felix Bear in hopes of a speedy and lasting recovery. Animals need love too. And even the ones that we eat deserve respect for giving their lives to sustain our own. So *mojo mojo mojo – love love love – light light light* all for the Felix Bear. And *peace and light and love* for the Wheaton Family to help you through this, and to be strong for the Felix Bear. Animals are like babies, they know what you are feeling and if you are feeling positive it helps them to feel better. =) *positive mojo and lots of love and light* for all of you!

I am so glad to hear that Felix is doing better! I love cats, and I was sorry at hearing that yours had been feeling very poorly. I wish him lots of continued good vibes, and hope that he is able to enjoy being with his staff until a ripe old age.
Glad your cat’s feeling better. At my job, we had one of our cats get run over and killed by a vehicle and the other attacked by some large animal all within a week so I know how you feel. The one attacked (Chance) has been convalescing at my apartment and is doing much better. Hope yours follows suit.
