hello to you and Sidney, There's lots of great information and helpful folks here. Welcome aboard!

Hello again everybody Sorry I didn't post for a while. We've had a bad week here ... but things are better now. Last weekend was terrible .. Muffin dragged around, barely ate or drank anything, and basically hid in a dark corner for 2 days. Meanwhile, I had a total meltdown from worry...

Thanks for your suggestions everybody . It's not a "routine" yet, but so far so good. I removed the top half from her carrier, lined it with a nice fluffy towel, and she has been relatively content to curl up in that while the deed was done. That way, my hands are free to pet her, and also...

Hi Barb, WElcome to you, and thanks for your welcome to me too!! Hey, I hear ya on the bathroom escort thing. . One time I walked past the bathroom and looked, there was a cat perched on the throne, just staring at the wall ahead. (I keep the lid down so they won't drink there ). At first I...

Thankyou tuxedokitties, those are great suggestions! I'll try to incorporate some of those ideas in today's routine, and report back later how it goes . I'm waiting for Muffin to get tired and groggy as Beckiboo suggested, but for some reason today she's on high alert. I just nonchalantly...

Thanks for all the welcomes everybody. I'm in the southeast corner, Ottawa-ish.

hi sharky {{{hugs}}} to you too!!! My other cat, Bettie .. is also heading there. She's 13, and last blood tests showed she's headed toward kidney failure too. Right now she's perky and playful and otherwise healthy. So I give her premium "senior" cat foods, and make sure there's no corn or...

hi Beckiboo, Thankyou! That sounds like a good idea. I waited today until she was more lively and alert. But now that I think about it, last week when I took her to the vet, I basically grabbed her when she was sleeping and not very alert. She barely made a peep, and perked up afterward like a...

hi leesali I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post brand names, but I'll just say that I started buying a premium brand of "senior cat" food from a pet food store, rather than the cheap grocery store brands. I read labels, and chose foods that listed real meat, chicken, fish, whatever as the...

I should also add .. When the vet first advised me that Muffie's kidneys were bad, he stated she had maybe a few months to live. I immediately switched her diet from grocery store crap to premium food, no more cornmeal, soy and by-products. That was over 6 years ago! One morning I awoke and...

I'm new to posting here, but I've been reading lots of threads, and learning so much . My Muffin, age 19, is moving toward the end-stage of kidney failure (CRF). Last week I took her to the vet clinic each day for sub-q hydration treatments, which were successful not only to improve her...

Wow, thanks for the welcomes everybody!! Yes, I'll try to get some pics up soon!!

hi there, I'm new too! Just wanted to purrrrr and say hello! Eight cats!! My sister had eight for a while; she fostered a queen and her kittens until they were adopted. Welcome!!

hello fellow cat lovers I registered a couple days ago, and got so engrossed in reading that I forgot to Introduce myself . My name is Doreen, and I'm a total love-slave to 2 senior cats .. Muffin (tortie, 19 yrs) and Bettie (tabby & white, 13 yrs). I look forward to finding my way around...
