Hello, I already know we need to make a vet appointment - and we have, but it is not till the end of January. We found ourselves in a position where we have more cats than we can afford care for...
So anyway, until the vet appointment.... has anyone ever had a cat who lost weight to "keep up with" a rival cat?
A month or so ago Bcups was having a blackish foul smelling discharge from her ear. We took her in and the vet said it was part yeast, part bacterial. He helped us get it all cleaned out and then put her on drops for 10 days. The ear has cleared up, but she has lost 2 pounds in the last month. She seems to be feeling fine, she is affectionate, and playful.
There is one cat she has a rivalry with... Snowy... Snowy likes to be up high. Even if she just climbs on a paperbag, she likes to sit on stuff. A 1/4 box lid... Snowy is on it. She has a bed on my counter in the bathroom where she can go hide to get away from Bcups. Bcups on the other hand, does not climb. She has always been pretty stocky and pudgy, ... but now that she is losing weight, she is climbing and jumping on stuff. Could she be on a health kick?
