As long as Smokey remains calm, he is able to be free with his family and receive all their healing power/support they give him.   He shows no signs of any discomfort at all and just wants to get back to the serious business of playing. 5 more days until the stitches come out and he is allowed to play(officially)..

This video shows Smokey healing with his family around him.  There is also a beautiful clip of Vanilla Bean playing behind the Cat Angel guardian of the Rainbow Bridge.   She lives for herself and for her sister Miss Bean, who lost her battle to FIP while participating in the same drug trial that Smokey completed.   It is also cool that Smokey and Vanilla bonded and play often.
