Not long after Simon arrived he was feeling better, and getting into all kinds of play modes.  Here he is batting a cat toy around that we had for Linus. I'm sure Linus doesn't mind, as he outgrew that play toy a long time ago.

We could visibly see Simon coming into health as we fed him boiled chicken, and Iams cat food, because his hair was dry and strawlike to the touch at first, and here you can see the sheen and softness a cat should have in their fur.
