26.9.2012: Life goes on and Coco & Lola are getting used to life with Dylan (not sure I ever will). It seems to have brought them closer together and they actually spend time playing together now - or at least chasing each other up and down the stairs like a herd of elephants! They both seem to have become a bit more loving too - Lola loves a belly rub and will literally climb up my leg and miaow pitifully until I give in! We had a few days away at my friend's house by the sea and they really enjoyed themselves - I thought they would be a bit freaked out but apart from the car journey (Lola hates cars) they settled in really well. A new set of stairs to tear up and down! On the Coronavirus front things are a bit confused; their blood tests came back and according to the results Lola's titres are 320 and Coco's 0. Stuart (my vet) is a bit suspicious that the lab has got the results mixed up as Coco's last level was exactly 320 so we are not far ahead. The purpose of the tests was to decide if it was OK for them to have their vaccinations, since this is a stress factor for FIP and I didn't want to take a chance if they still had Coronavirus antibodies. Stuart spoke to another expert who said we could wait a while longer (up to three years apparently!) and he is going to try to get some more information as I don't want to keep on subjecting them to blood tests. On the plus side they both seem fine and are eating well and settling into their new daily routine without Dylan. I only wish I could.
