My feisty old ladycat update (long)

wrote: Dang me if this cat won't be the death of me! My nerves have been in shreds lately what with her having to be hospitalised a few weeks ago, recovering slowly from that, going missing and me doing all the climbing over fences searching, getting found and going downhill again with no appetite, return to TED for injections with warning of days to live, pooing all over, return to TED, have a slight difference of opinion, get poo meds that he is confident I won't be able to give, spend all my spare time cooking things she *might* want to eat and trying to get her to eat them and hide the meds somehow. I feel worn out and exhausted. HOWEVER!! I think it's all been worth it. She stopped having diarrhoea about 36-48 hours after I managed to get a bit of her crushed tab into her somehow twice a day. TED prescribed a quarter tab but looked at me out of the corner of his eye and said "well, maybe a bit less.." I doubt he has seen such a small adult cat. I've stopped giving her the tablets today because we have seen no poo at all since it all settled down. I don't want the opposite problem. She is eating as well as she did before. She's had two meals of catfood today (although she did leave a bit of it and begged later for chicken, which she got.) She feels so much heavier already when I pick her up and less frail. I read each and every post everyone sent and appreciated every one. Some suggestions I could not do, we do not seem to get baby food here that is all meat, for example. I got her some baby food last time, the best I could do was "vegetables and turkey" which she raised her eyebrows at and said "you are joking, aren't you?" KFC is sitting on the arm of the chair next to me as I am typing this and keeps headbutting my hand and rubbing her cheeks on the keyboard. She almost never bothers me when I am on the computer. Maybe she is trying to say" thank you to you all for my purrs and prayers." She is purring up a storm herself. This is not a dying cat any more. Now all I need to see is a nice firm poo in the litterbox and I will say she's fooled us all again, (including TED) ;-) Fortunately I will not need to be admitted to a psychiatric ward as I already have a counsellor provided by my employer when a manager nearly bullied me into oblivion. It was his bad luck he came on Wednesday and got a whole month's worth of Kitty Farmcat;-) He is a very nice man and has a cat himself. Tweed I am very glad to hear that KFC is doing better. In human years, she must be about 110! This is very good news, indeed. I hope her appetite continues to improve, and that you get to enjoy the summer with KFC bothering you for scritches, very frequently. You have worked so very hard for KFC, when many people would have given up. I admire and respect your devotion to your dear KFC. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie. Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more. How you behave towards cats here below determines your status in Heaven. - Robert Heinlein |

Tweed I am so happy to hear she is doing better. Sorry about the meat baby food. My cats won't eat the veggie mix either, probably give me exactly the same look she gave you. Ahhh, how sweet of the counsellor to listen to that. I imagine that he would understand though, seems the counsellors understand things that I would be raising my eyebrows over (or at least I *think* I'd raise my eyebrows). Many purrs from my seven, offerings, prayers, and songs for continued improvement and a settling for your own frazzled nerves. Smokie Darling (Annie) |

well, that certainly is good news! Is it quite possible
that KFC is not really as old as you think she is? I bet she will outlive us both! God bless. Lily & her mama -- Irulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time.
