The other day I ate generic cheerios, but today I ate a bowl of tomato soup.  So-o-o-o-o nutritious.  I want a steak!

I'm sorry you lost your Frodo.  You're right about putting a pet down.  It's the most difficult thing to do.  I've had to do it several times and possibly it's easier if the vet does it while you're in the waiting room, but I want to be with my pet saying "Goodby".  It's like they know what's...

Thank you for  your words of comfort.  We do have such fond memories.  Not only of Rikkashay, but of several other cats over the years.  Each was different, just like children are from each other, and each brings back the sweetest and funniest memories.  We catch ourselves often saying "Remember...

Generic Cherrios. Same stuff every morning.  It's like its too hard to choose from the endless choices, so I buy the easy choice and stick with it.  Plus, it's cheap, and the big bag lasts a long time.

I'll tell her that.  People need to know their hard work didn't go unrecognized.  She had as many as 17 dogs and cats at one time at her house that were rescue animals.  We have a large yard with three separate areas fenced separately and even fostered some for her while she found them homes. ...

We went through our neighborhood telling all our neighbors and several helpled us search. We also searched through the horse barn joning our property where Rikkashay had gone once before when she was young.  I even wondered if maybe a falcon or hawk might have gotten her.  She weighed about 12...

It was so puzzling to us.  She was old,(she was 18), but she wasn't sick.  I let her out, because she loved it outside.  She couldn't jump very high anymore, so I knew she couldn't get out of the fenced yard.  When it came time to bring her in, I couldn't find her.  We searched the yard for...

I also care 24/7 for my MIL who has Alzheimer's Disease.    What a combination, huh! Kodak's appetite seems good right now.  She likes the wet cat food since it's something new.  I'll try mixing egg yolks in it to see if she like it that way, too.  Thanks for that suggestion.

Kodak is 18 and customarily weighs about 11 to 12 pounds, but has recently lost weight because of illness or mental issues.  I just now weighed her in at 7 lbs. She was at the vet last week for a skin infection and rceived a sterioid shot and an antibiotic to take daily, but nothing was said...

I'll go over there and give it a try.  I believe I need to provide a really good profile of Kodak so anyone giving me suggestions can take that into consideration.  Not only her age makes a difference, but her mental condition, as well. I'll do that this afternoon after I draft a paragraph...

BTW, the vet said nothing about her weight.  When the antibiotic gave her diarrhea and vomiting and I called the office, a different vet called me back and told me to give it to her in wet cat food instead of directly administering it down her throat.  It's the first time one of their vets has...

I'll keep you updated about her condition.  I don't understand her infection, either;  although she had a place on her back she was always licking that never showed obvious signs of being anything.  I hate to sound so cynical, but when doctors need a diagnosis for an elderly person, they give...

It's been quite awhile since I've been here.  Many things have been going on, to keep me away from my computer. Anyway, Kodak is coming out into the room more and more  and even talking quite a bit lately.  My major concern now is that she is losing weight rapidly.    She has a skin...

I can understand why the vet thought is was probably behavioral since her tests were normal.  Kodak hadn't been to the vet in several years.  She's been the picture of health. Maybe I'll give the office a call and give them a report of what I've noticed.  I'm not sure they're interested...

I hadn't thought about the connection to Raid having a connection to her condition because I had found feline dementia common on elderly cats, but it is a thought.  You've sent me on a journey now.
