    Oni....

    Her, she was a Tuxedo cat. Very regal. We got her in 2002. She was abandoned. The office where my husband worked at the time took her in. We think she was a year old then. No one in the office could keep her, so I made my husband bring her home to us :) She settled in very quickly. She loved...

    Oni....

    I posted about our beloved Oni here: 17 Year Old Blind Cat Today we did the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. We said goodbye to our sweet girl. Her health was declining rapidly. It wasn't fair to her. It was evident she was in pain. I can't say enough good things about our vet. So...

    17 Year Old Blind Cat

    A new update. Oni has gotten worse. She is stumbling around worse than ever. She can't find her food, we have to pick her up and bring her to it. She fell over three times simply scratching her head yesterday :( She occasionally lets out a cry we haven't heard before. My husband says it sounds...

    17 Year Old Blind Cat

    Follow up.... We took her to the Vet, we love our practice! She suggested trying steroids to see if it will alleviate some of the pressure from the tumor. They were able to give us 10 days worth free of charge to see if it makes a difference. Since Oni is not showing any distress, we are not...

    17 Year Old Blind Cat

    We are going to try keeping her in the kitchen while we aren't home. We'll put a baby gate up. Our kitchen is huge and has a powder room where we can move the litter box to. Also, one of her favorites spots is laying in the door to the deck, which is in the kitchen. The vet emailed me back...

    17 Year Old Blind Cat

    She's a beauty, thanks for posting her pic :) We've just discussed laying down something. My husband is leaving for a week, which makes it harder to monitor things. I think I will just put down towels everywhere, for easier clean up.

    17 Year Old Blind Cat

    Thank you for your reply. She does still go downstairs to urinate as we still have evidence in the litter. The floor in the basement is concrete. Not sure if we could recreate it? As for the rug, it is wall to wall. The vet just took some blood work yesterday, we shall see what they uncover...

    17 Year Old Blind Cat

    Hi everyone. I'm new to the boards, so thank you for any assistance you can provide. My cat is almost 17 years old. She is blind due to a tumor in her head :( She is eating and drinking fine. She walks in circles, it's interesting to see. For the past few months she's only been urinating in...
