This is my Cat Morty! He's about 10 and still acts like a kitty. Indoor only and is equal parts mischief, clown and acrobat! He is one of a kind for sure.

Here's a little poem I wrote for Morty:

“Catnip Tales & Fur Balls”
By Terry Peterson 10/18/10

Catnip tales & fur balls,
White paws and orange tail;
This is Morty’s story,
Down to the last detail

He’s a lap cat tried and true,
But loves to jump and play;
Although he may not talk like us,
He sure has lots to say!

He follows everywhere I go,
Even when I brush my teeth;
And at my table eating lunch,
He’s always underneath

He’s a proud feline of 63;
That’s cat years by the way
We’re buddies ‘till the very end;
I know he’ll never stray

He’s a natural kitty comic;
He never lets me down;
Day or night, rain or shine,
He’s always such a clown

And so you know gist of it,
Although this poem's a “shorty”
“Catnip tales & fur balls” is,
An ode to my cat Morty

Morty has also made many appearances in my extreme unicycling videos! You can see him in these, at the end:

Very very cute. I would've guessed Morty to be much younger than 10 going on his looks and his movement! Cool video

What a gorgeous Red Boy. (Red Boys are my favorite) That he is so active at 10 years old is a testament to your excellent care and devotion to him.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! I recently had to pay $700+ vet bill for poor Morty when he began having trouble urinating, and had to stay at the vet overnight on IV flushing out his bladder. Luckily I got him in quickly and there was no kidney damage.

I've always been very good with his feeding, giving wet and dry in measured amounts, and never free feeding. Since he's recovered he is now--and FROM NOW ON, only on WET food!!!

He's been on this new feeding regimen for over a month and doesn't seem to miss dry at all, which I'm so happy for! He's peeing just fine and seems even more content now, even though his total daily caloric intake is actually a bit less than before!

I would like to switch from the insanely expensive Hills prescription cd canned, to something equal in quality, like maybe "wellness" or something less expensive but still vastly superior to store-bought. I'm hoping that now that he's off dry for good, that he'll have no more crystal/blockage/bladder issues ever again!

No Wellness for FLUTD kitties. I bought into the Wellness lies and tried to get my FLUTD kitty off the prescription food and onto Wellness canned food last year. Her crystals came back worse than ever.

For a male cat who has blocked once, I don't think I would ever risk taking him off the prescription again. For my Mazy cat, she is back on the c/d for life, though since she is due for her annual urine culture soon I have started adding a little Merrick Before Grain canned to her diet, well mixed with water. We'll see if that is working out at her check up next month. If the crystals have come back, this is the LAST time I will try to vary her diet.

Wellness is not cheaper than prescription c/d, it's about the same. Wellness, in my opinion, is no longer a high quality food, it is still just as expensive, but in my opinion, since the buy out over 2 years ago, the quality is starting to decline.
