Sometimes, improvement is clear

Most cats we foster with URIs are about the same through the entire time in behavior. Most are also mild URIs.

Others are more dramatic as medicine and time do their magic. Sealy had a nasty cold when he came, and it's quite clear he's feeling better. He's stopped sounding like he's breathing water when he purrs. He's found his energy. He runs about. He wants to play. It's a lot harder to tire him out with the laser pointer. He's ready to go again much sooner.

He's still very friendly and will sit and cuddle, but play time has had to be added into the mix as well. He's also started vocalizing more. His meows are still quiet, but they are more frequent.

It's nice to have clear feedback that he's feeling better.
