Jambo wonderful people!
(also hi Loki, you look like such an adorable superhero!!!! thank you for the compliment, Paka Tom sends a huge purr!)
Yesterday was Mashujaa day, and Paka Tom and I were thinking of you all. I hope all you two, three and four legged heroes are doing very well!
I'm extremely glad to report that Paka Tom is back to his normal self - he's comfortably moving up and down stairs, eating well, sleeping soundly and even playing! Also he's become a ninja - he managed to wriggle out of his football onesie in the garden, and now we can't find it 
I honestly cannot thank you all enough. I can't believe my family and I were considering not doing this thinking it was a cruel option somehow... he has dealt with it so bravely and beautifully, his recovery was so smooth, and in retrospect any other decision would not have maintained his quality of life the way this has.
SO much love to all of you!
Jambo Mum & Paka Tom
Asante sana Mum for the update!
Paka Tom said it was time to be done with onesie😂 Maybe he buried it? 
I can speak for us all and say Karibu sana we are so glad you found us and got a second opinion and Tom is hoping on and yes he has a Quality of life on three that painful leg is gone! Tom is so hoppy to be alive on 3! He doesn’t care he has 3 legs he is just hoppy to hop on!
I wish we would of known Masjujaa Day was yesterday we would of made sure to post. We will celebrate today Hoppy Mashujaa Day to our Mashujaa Paka Tom!!
Asante sana for popping into Cotton’s thread too😘
Sending much Upendo to you & Paka Tom
Holly & Purrkins❤️
Jambo Paka Tom and Mama!
Hoppy Mashujaa Day to all these watu wazuri (wonderful people), but especially to you Paka Tom and all of our Tripawd and Bipawd Heroes!!!
Asante Sana Mama for giving us an update on our mtanashati boy! Love how you got rid of the Onesie Tom! 😂 it’s not very Cat Like is it! Like Purrrrrrkins said, burying it is a great idea... get rid of the evidence good lad! Hoe you are getting lots of Kuku 🍗 to make you good and strong!
We sure are happy that you decided to go ahead with this, not so hoppy decision for Paka Tom! We never would have met this mrembo mashujaa otherwise!!! 
Plus we would have been very lacking in our Kiswahili!!!
Mama, please pass on to your family that Paka Tom was not the only brave and beautiful soul that went through this, you all made it through with flying colours! You fought for a Paka Tom when he couldn’t speak for himself... there will always be an irreplaceable bond between you for the rest of eternity! That’s a beautiful thing!
Thats why this incredible community of Watu Wazuri is incredibly important! We all speak from the experiences of our fur babaies and from our heart! There are no text books to lead you through this process.... the doctors can tell us what they’ve done and what needs to happen, but they can’t teach you how to deal with the emotional rollercoaster of recovery! Even now after 3 months of Stewie’s recovery, I still find comfort and solace from these incredible people! 
Much Upendo, chin scratches and ear rubs coming your way!❤️❤️❤️
Kwaheri for now and we look forward to pictures of our Mtanashati Paka Tom!
Petra, Paul, Spitfire Spike, Chester Molester, Prissy Miss Lily and Mashujaa Stu! ❤️❤️❤️
Remember...“live in the moment!“
