My sister's cat turned into a skeleton at 15 years old and lived to be almost 21. Floppy is slowly dropping too despite a healthy appetite.

Vet appointment on Thursday morning. Hopefully the catheter and stitches go away. The cone doesn't seem to bother him at all. In fact, I think he likes it. Because it makes things more of a challenge, which he likes.

The results of two 12 pound bags of Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken Recipe Grain-Free Dry Cat Food over less than two months. I was extremely lucky only one cat in four was effected. Feel free to share far and wide.

The cat diapers did not work, so he is restricted to the prepared room for the 10-14 days with limited time out. He is heeding the Dr's request for minimal activity now. He sleeps most of the time and is really being very good.

He's not supposed to exert himself much for 10 days........ The cone is on primarily to keep him away from the catheter, which is stitched in. The incision they made to open him up is pretty small. The resting part is going to be pretty much undoable though.

Everyone's hissing at him now, because he smells funny. Mikesch is absolutely terrified! They'll all be ok. I have cat diapers coming from Amazon tomorrow so we'll see if I can get him out of this room then.

Ambercat is home!! You've never seen a happier cat in your life! This is going to be tough the next 10 days. The first thing he did was climb to the top of a scratching post.

It's going to be Saturday now. I have to work OT tomorrow so he's staying an extra day. The catheter is stitched in and has to stay in for 10-14 days. It's going to be rough. I'm spreading a big tarp in the spare room and he has to stay in there.
