First, the water pipe was replaced. The plumber didn't have an easy job of it, and spent all afternoon when he probably planned to spend an hour, but it's done, and we have lots of shiny new solder in the furnace room.
Second, Muffy seems to be OK. She started nibbling at food some days ago, but I didn't think she was getting nearly enough. Each day though, she seems to be eating more. She has lost some weight, but is acting normal again, and if her appetite continues to return, it seems that she'll be fine. We have no idea what caused the problem, and I suspect we never will.
Here's a photo of Muffy on my lap tonight.
That's the good news. The other is that the furnace appears to be on its last legs, so we have a quote coming for a replacement. And we're going to need to have some more plumbing done, as the pipe at the main water line coming into the house is not in good shape.
But we're very happy to have the pipe repaired and Muffy on the mend.
Glad the pipe is fixed. Uber-delighted that Muffy is better.
