It's good that you are realistic Mark. My old vet used to say that a cat that becomes 15, 16 years old, had a long life, every year more is a kind of a bonus. But I always thought and I still think that Floppy has a good chance to become 20 years old because he doesn't suffer from the incurable deseases old cats often do. My five "Mitzi family" cats had renal or pancreas problems or both. Morris and Minka suffered from heart failure. I also hoped for them that they would fall asleep one evening and don't wake up again in the morning but sadly that didn't happen. To cut a long story short, when it isn't cancer, I am sure Floppy can become one of the oldest and happiest cats on Picato.

doerscheln says:
First of all I am glad that Floppy is back home again, being totally himself and eating. Of course I'm not a vet but it doesn't sound like he has cancer to me, too because Floppy is doing and looking so well for his age and it is possible that the treatment for his thyroid could have caused the problems. When do you get the biopsy results ? I send all the best wishes and hugs and kisses.

doerscheln says:
Yes, my Morris looked a little grumpy on pics like this, I agree but he was one of the sweetest cats ever. Fortunately he let me help him when his lip slipped behind the canine and he looked well again.

My beloved Morris after one of his canines has been pulled out. :-)

doerscheln says:
All your girls are lovely .

doerscheln says:
Yes I agree , I haven't seen a Maine Coon like this before.

doerscheln says:
Beautiful girl !

doerscheln says:
Oh Mark, my deepest sympathies for the passing of your Dad .

doerscheln says:
Yes, of course I keep Floppy in my thoughts. Hope he will be fine again after the bad teeth are pulled out. But I'm afraid, Floppy will look a bit funny sometimes when one canine is gone, my Morris did . I'll post a pic of him later.

doerscheln says:
Great shot !
