You are so very right ... even with the best food, the best care, the utmost love and adoration eventually the little darlings' bodies start failing them. They are so very brave through it all ... we can sometimes never know the effects. My beloved furry boy Quigley was my first kitty ... at 17 he succumbed to a cold that care and love just couldn't overcome. I can still remember so much about him and his life with me ... he's been gone 21 years ...

Willi will be 15 years this April. Unfortunately at about this age many cats get sick, kidneys, liver, pancreas and thyroid are concerned very often. Now that my cats are all older they have to see the vet every 6 months for a big check up that if they should get sick we find out as soon as possible and can do something against ist.But what ever we try to keep our cats healthy, that they become more than 20 years like peitit Poupie doesn't happen so often

Our Willi is better today. Seems that the antibiotic he got for his pancreas this time worked very well because the infection is almost gone BUT Willi didn't endure the pills very much. That was why he did not want to eat very well or not at all.......Well, since today he does not have to take the antibiotic anymore and he is feeling better, he is eating again. Hope he will completely recover soon....

To me it all sounds a bit like Willis diseases. He too has thyroid complaint (hyperthyreose) That was why his liver values got worse, he was tired always and he lost weight. With the right pills he was fine again and now the pancreas is making trouble. Hope very much your vet can find a good therapy for Constance, Bisous à Constance et Pirate ( he is such a charming boy :) )
