Nile's Journey

[Silver K]

Hello fellow feline lovers,

I'm Silver! I'm the proud mum of three boys - Nile, Sylvester, and Machete. I've had Nile for 16 years and he's the last one standing of my original trio. I always thought he would be the first to go with all his past medical issues but he's a tough little guy.

In December 2021 he was diagnosed with kidney disease. My vet said that he would live another 2 to 3 years... With a prescription diet he's still doing very well. A full physical last month showed that he's still at stage 2 kidney disease, where he was over a year ago. Everyday he's still here with me is a good day! I love him so much.

Sylvester and Machete are both rescues, I got Sylvester in 2020, he will be 4 in April, and I adopted Machete in August 2023, he's around 5. Machete was a last minute rescue under special circumstances. I told myself I never wanted three cats again but here I am with my three boys!

My reason for joining is to have a place to talk to others that appreciate cats as much as I do. And to share Nile's journey with his battle. Maybe it can help someone down the road.
Thanks for reading

A BIG TCS welcome to you, Niles, Sylvester and Machete! Such lovely cats they are! You've come to exactly the right place for learning, sharing what you know, making like-minded friends, having support in the bad times AND a cheering section in the good ones. I made the rounds of a lot of cat forums back in the day, and was astounded by the backbiting and narrow-mindedness of so many of them. Then I stumbled in here and found a home, a real community of people who, no matter their differences, come together for the good of cats. And we're so happy you have found us, as well!

Thank you and you're very welcome!

Thank you! I really hope so too. I had a tech at my regular vet tell me in December 2022 that he would be dead in a month or so. She seemed annoyed I was even bothering to treat him. She was so bitter, I'm glad she was wrong and that she no longer works at that clinic.

I've tried a few and I found the same about the narrow-mindedness. The only place that was decent was r/cats but to be fair I've always preferred a forum-style social media. I'm glad I found this forum and I have a feeling I will like it here!
