Max is ill

Your Max es a handsome boy!

I would think he should have his kidney functions tested and also for diabetes. That handsome boy may have a lot more time left in him than you think. I guess a full blood panel and urine test would probably give all the information necessary to diagnose and treat.

Sending healthy vibes for {({({({({(Max)})})})})} and warm hugs for his people.

He is lovely. My daughters cat had a form of Altzhiemers for the last two years of her life(she was 21 when she died) she forgot where the food bowl was and had to have it put infront of her and had the occasional accident.The vet said she wasn't in pain just old and one day she just went to sleep in the garden and didn't wake up.

I'm so happy to hear that Max is feeling better this morning.

I hope your beautiful boy continues to feel better. My thoughts and prayers are with you and him.

Pets can suffer from senile dementia, and it's quite possible that Max is, but it sounds like he may be having kidney problems, so a senior blood panel is really called for. Are you near a city in the Black Forest with a clinic that does complete workups? (We lived in Zell [near Lörrach] for a while, so I know how rural the Black Forest can be).

He's old, but with proper treatment, he may have a few more good years. In my experience, a lot of vets in rural (German) areas are more familiar with cows, pigs, and horses than with cats or dogs, so a veterinary clinic might be called for in Max's case.

Well it looks like Max is not ready to cross the bridge
and I will not be taking him to the Vet. he looks a s right as rain now and
is eating ok and being his normal self
I cannot bring myself to take him to the Vet and ruin his day
SO MAX Says
Thanks to all of you lovely people out there and it seems that your Vibes and clovers worked for Me

How lovely to hear some good news, I hope you enjoy to the full the time you have with your beautiful boy

That's wonderful news.
I'm so happy Max is feeling better.
He's a beautiful boy.

That's great news!

Max is so handsome, I am glad he's feeling better

It was so nice to hear that your Max is doing well again!

It is great that he is feeling better. I would keep a good eye on him and make sure he eats noramlly etc. By the way, Your Max looks a lot like my Onyx...except Onyx doesn't have such a beat up face since he is an indoor kitty. Max is cute though!

I told Max what you said about his "Beat up face " and he says wait till you are 90 and you wont look to good either He is nearly 19 and is also a house cat (has never seen a garden) the mark on his head is a ex wart which he removed himself by rubbing on a cardboard box

I am glad that Max is feeling better, please keep us posted on how he is doing.

We left poor old Max in the hands of our trusty Cat sitter who gave Max a lovely holiday without us
He is losing weight a lot but he is still the old Max that we know and love
on returning back to Germany from the UK he met us and never punished us in any way so he loves us as much as we love him
Max is realy weak but he manages to climb up on the Sofa to be with us
We are amazed at his power to stay with us so those of you that worry about your loved cat ...................give him or her a chance ..we cannot understand the willpower that they have
Love from Max

So glad to hear Max is "munter". That's very good news. Thanks for the update.

I'm glad you had a good holiday and that Max enjoyed his.
Give the old boy a pat for me.
