Thanks everyone, you guys are so sweet!

The Vet visit went quite well. She was relaxed during the drive, did well at the Vet - she was really hamming it up over there with her purs and snugglles. She's their little miracle kitty.
The feeding tube is doing fine, so is her pooping. He took blood and urine to check. As for the surgery, my vet says even talking about it over his head, and he recommended that we should have that conversation with the surgon - especially considering that Tiggers is a fighter... and on a general phisical exam, her heart and lungs look in a good shape. We'll know more tomorrow after blood and urine analisys.

We have an appointment on Monday afternoon with the surgeon, to review her condition, and talk about possibilities, if there are any.  I'm not eager to put her through the surgery at all, but it doesn't hurt to talk it over, and get a reality check, and some more knowledgeable feedback. My doc says that the surgeon lady is a straight shooter, and won't try to push for something impossible or super risky.

As for Tigger, after the vet visit we made a quick stop to visit her daddy (my ex). He came down to the car and spent about 15 min snuggling her up. She was BEAMING, and purring, and rolled up-side down in extasy for him. She was very relaxed during the ride home.

I expected she would be exhausted after that, but no... she stuck her nose into my cornflakes, and lapped up a lot of milk and some cereal, then went down her kitty steps to the front door, and wanted to go outside. She sat in the grass near the front door for the last hour or so, till the gardeners started making noise... she came back in, on her own, bounced up the stairs and now she's napping. Whe's still wobbly, but she's trying to put some bounce into her step going up the stairs.

So... Monday afternoon, I'll know more about whether there's anything else that can be done for her, or of it's the best to just let her live it out.
