Old buddy getting old

[doomsdave]

So far the vet’s advice and medicines have been spot on. With every evening meal of canned cat food I give him medicine for his urine and his joints. So far so good.

 

[doomsdave]

Here he is in his lordly majesty enjoying the cool breeze

 

[Furballsmom]

What an absolutely wonderful boy! He's really looking good !

 

[doomsdave]

He's gotten really vocal lately, much more than he used to be. Doesn't seem to be in distress, just wants to talk. And not just about food!

 

[Furballsmom]

I love conversations with cats

 

[doomsdave]

Went back to Ohio for a high school reunion and left Big Boy in the custody of my roommate who’s been diligently giving him his medicine.

Be a good boy! Daddy will be back soon.

 

[Furballsmom]

Aww, what an absolute sweetie! He's looking good

 

[iPappy]

He has such a soulful expression. What a sweetheart.
doomsdave Ohioan here, welcome back!

 

[doomsdave]

So, back from Ohio, and the pretty countryside, paved down the middle . . .

Wait wait stop . . . .

Took Big Boy to the vet's yesterday and he's pretty good, no crystals in the pee, but weight fell a few ounces. My roommate used a different schedule for extra food and meds, but we're back to normal, though now he wants canned food in the morning too. Spoiled him and gave some today. And will tonight. Wanna try to fatten him up just a bit.

And, got him a clipper, the subject of which was another thread. Trimming Big Boy without getting clipped | TheCatSite Took off a huge hunk of hair, like an Evil Mouse of Doom had latched onto him. He didn't appreciate the process, but managed to do it without cutting him.

Thanks to everyone who's helped! I'll follow the "acclimatization" suggestions about clipping (lurkers, take a look).

I hope you had a great visit
When I wanted to get some weight on Sarah, I started giving her kitten food and I think the extra caloric intake did the trick. If you haven't, that might be something to try to get a few more ounces on him.

That's awesome!

Fancy Feast Kitten!

 

[doomsdave]

Big Boy today, still my old buddy!

 

[Furballsmom]

What an absolutely FABulous little man!!

 

[Margot Lane]

Love the extra toe bean fur! Did he have it as a kitten?

Dunno

Got him as an adult

 

[Furballsmom]

How goes the grooming?

 

[doomsdave]

Here’s Big Boy, beside himself with excitement over tomorrow’s trip to the vets’.

 

[iPappy]

He's getting his beauty rest (not that he needs the help!)
I hope tomorrows vet trip goes well, and is just a routine check up.

 

[doomsdave]

Thanks everyone for the rooting. He’s really getting bony. Also asking for a check for ear thingies.

That blue cloth is his official Big Boy Sleeping and Napping Thingie, which he really seems to appreciate a lot. He keeps my right flank well guarded against night spirits….
