After a few weeks of recuperating, Thelma's fluffy coat has grown back in. She now walks with pep under her feet and is starting to play again.

With her newfound strength, she likes to sneak up behind people, meow at the top of her lungs and see them jump. "If she was a Golden Girl, she'd be Sophia. She is sassy."

Thelma has a wonderful appetite and adores anything gravy. She starts her day rising from her favorite cat bed with her snuggle teddy right by her side.

"She especially loves it when her bed is in sunshine."
