I didn't put in the other post that for the past 8 days he's been fighting the equivalent of a 'cat cold' so he's been on 2 antibiotics to prevent any bacterial infections. His lungs still got a little noisy (crackling/popping sounds) 3 days ago but today they were much less noisy and he's going after food instead of waiting for it to come to him and drinking a bit so I don't have to give him as much with the eyedropper.
He has 6 days of meds to go and we're hoping that everything clears up by then. We had another cat, a sister from another litter, that was on several different antibiotics off and on for several months.
Diggers litter was a surprise. His Daddy was scheduled to be neutered a few days, as near as we can tell, after he got Little Momma pregnant. 
So far his outlook is excellent.
As for the inspiration part, he's got me to try harder to overcome some things that have come up in my rehab. Actually, if it wasn't for me having to take care of him over the past few months and seeing how he's come along despite what has been thrown at him, I don't think I'd be as far along as I am now despite my arthritis getting worse.
I only get online 2-3 times a week when the arthritis in my hands gets cranked up. Taking care of Diggs is about all I can do. Today is a good day, 8 fingers are working like they should. 
I include this not as an excuse for taking so long to answer because I try to acknowledge replies to posts. I try not to post something then leave right away.
Well, take care.
