Hi Eve. Always nice to have another cat join in with this lovely family. Great place to get support. And you might see a few pet pics too. They help keep us sober. That’s why I got 6 of them. I need all the pet support I can get

OMG that’s the best

Had to take Zelda to a surprise vet visit yesterday. Her bladder is inflamed and it seems she’s lost a pound since she was in two months ago. Very worrisome. The vet told me to try giving her kitten food on occasion and also meat based baby food if she’ll eat it to help keep her from losing so much weight.

Oh Zelda. . You eat hear me? Make us all happy. Never a good time for a surprise. Did they give her any anti inflammatories or steroids?? I’m sure your all over it. I just know how not good it is if the cat don’t eat We always have a back up supply of canned kitten food just in case.

That baby food trick never ever worked for us.

She was given some kitty anti-inflammatory medicine and there is a frequency in Frequency Specific Microcurrent which in an unpublished mouse study showed to be very effective in reducing inflammation, and I happen to have the equipment, so I’m treating her for inflammation in that way. I was also told that giving her probiotics might be useful as well. In the end though, she is elderly and while her blood tests might have been good a few months ago, that could change at any time at her age. I’ve been able to coax her into eating by literally holding the bowl like a servant for her to eat I’m going to hit the store and grab some baby food. The worst that can happen is that she won’t eat it, but it’s worth a try.

Lucky kitty with a cat guardian who has medical grade microcurrent equipment (and a matching D20 pillow ).

Aw… I’m so sorry you got to go through this. She’s so lucky to have you. Even though she’s an old girl it don’t make it any easier. Give her a gentle scratch on the head from me. Maybe she’s just having a bad week

What a great pic and a gorgeous Rubie cat!!
Sounds like a typical day

Dazercat · October 4, 2020, 9:18pm

I don’t blame her. She looks Goddess like in that pic.

@Chiron poor zelda! I have a special paste, like the special nutrition in geriatric care, for my cats. it’s used for recovery after illness and for underweight cats to gain weight. in Austria it’s called Calo-Pet, produced by Vetoquinol. Maybe try something like this to support.

Someone’s got my chair. Minnie!! Guess I’ll sit somewhere else. She’s earned it

Lisa07 · October 5, 2020, 5:57am

It doesn’t look like she left any room for you to sit too. . It’s all hers right now. Maybe she’ll give it up when it’s time to eat.

This is Blizzard.

Chiron · October 5, 2020, 9:55pm

Thank you! What a great idea! It looks like I should be able to get Calo-Pet here too! I really appreciate your suggestion.

@Dazercat and @CapriciousCapricorn You should be able to sit on your pets’ laps since they sit on yours.

Zelda and my SO used to have massive fights over his desk chair. Sometimes she would hear him come home and hurry over to get onto his chair. It was like she wanted him to know that she considered the chair hers, even when she didn’t want to sit in it.

@Link What a great looking cat! I love tabbies!

Well, training rosie to play fetch… sort of works…she gets the stick, brings it back…then eats it…going to try a tennis ball.

How is your beautiful old girl Zelda doing? I been thinking about her. Update when you’re willing please.
Better stick a cat pic in here to keep in line with the thread right?

Chiron · October 6, 2020, 8:06pm

Lol I love that picture! What a perfect catch!

Zelda is doing alright. She had a good day yesterday and last night but then this morning she had a pretty bad episode where she was inconsolable for a few hours, which kind of sucks at 5am.

Right now she is sleeping in her new heated bed (this is the last one I swear ). I’m just keeping an eye on her for now.

Edit for added picture.

more Gus

Dazercat · October 7, 2020, 2:40pm

Thanks. She looks so comfortable as a cat should. I hope she continues to feel as good as possible at her old age. We love them so much and their unconditional love for us is so special. She is so gorgeous. Give her another gentle scratch on the chin from me if she’ll allow it.
