You're awesome!!
Maybe contain Zoe briefly during Lily's play time?

Will she let you stroke those areas? If so, put your hand in a nylon stocking in place of a brush. If not, no other brush or brush-like product will overcome her objections if she won’t even let you stroke those areas with a bare hand.Well, we've been having *some* poop, every other day now, which is better than every 3 or more days, but they're still clumpy, and today was quite bally. For someone who is supposedly very constipated, sure can fly down the stairs quickly. I heard her meowing a little while ago, her telling us ( I think she's telling us, haven't figured out what she trying to say) that she caught something, I come to see what article of clothing she has dragged out, and she comes flying down the stairs afterwards and told what a good little hunter she is. Little stuff like that gives me hope, that she isn't feeling too bad.
I ordered some more EZ Egg yolk, I haven't used that in awhile, I still have some left, but ordered some fresh, incase the one I have isn't so fresh. I'll try mixing that with the pumpkin again, and lecithin.
I think some nights, or even in the daytime, I'll give her some friskies shreds with extra gravy. She didn't want what Zoe was having last night, so I popped open a can for her. Of course she doesn't eat the morsels, but she licks the gravy, so hey hydration!
I sure wish I could use the furminator on her "no no" spots, I was using a tiny furminator on her back, and that little brush got SO much hair off her back. I had bought the tiny one on clearance awhile back, for like $2.00. I kinda want to buy the large cat/long hair brush but its like $45, would it really do any better if I'm not allowed to brush her tummy, and sides and back legs anyway?
She's so beautiful. My older cat is having some problems with his joints and I never even thought to give glucosamine. How do you give it to your cat? Can I use the human grade supplement? ThanksIt's been a few days/maybe a week since I posted about Lily. She is really starting to perk up! She's more alert and active, still lazy but more "involved" I took her on a walk in the woods this afternoon, and she had a good time exploring. I am attaching a picture of her being brave and exploring. I also noticed when we first started out on our walk, she was MUCH faster going down the deck stairs. I'm wondering if the Glucosamine supplement is already helping? (its the GNC glucosamine & DHA/EPA).
And we have POOPS! Almost every day I'm finding poop in her box, and I'm pretty sure its not Zoe because Zoe never got the hang of the litter box and prefers to go outside, plus Zoe is a lot smaller and there for, makes smaller poops. I've found a pumpkin puree that Lily will eat, at Petco. I was giving her just regular grocery store pumpkin that I had to stick on my finger and basically shove down her throat. I picked up a few packets of Tiki cat pureed pumpkin, which has wheat grass, and she ate ALL of it, by herself. I am so proud of this girl today. I hope we're on the road to having a happier healthier Lily again. And finally clean her out! yaye. Anyway here is her today being a "wild cat" in the woods.
lol, what a totally darling cat! ...I apologize that I don't recall, is it you who has her follow you around the house with the food dish before you feed her? If not, you could try that .She must be feeling ok though, last night in the middle of the night I woke up to her meowing, to find a towel she had dragged out, and this morning found a pair of my jeans she had "caught" then she was rolling around playing with a rug for a few minutes.
lol, it sure does !I guess that counts as something, right?
I totally follow my cat around the house with her dish. She has her eating "zones" and I follow her around with her plate. She likes it if I sit next to her while she eats. A social diner!lol, what a totally darling cat! ...I apologize that I don't recall, is it you who has her follow you around the house with the food dish before you feed her? If not, you could try that .
Greta_Loki you could look into this Getting old
What a great workout to get her appetite going!Greta_Loki I use GNC hip and joint supplement for cats, it's in treat form and Lily eats them right up. I know there is powder forms of glucosamine but getting stuff into her is a challenge so luckily they have these in treat forms.
And Furballsmom I kinda walk her to her dinner bowl, usually around 7 shes under a bed, and stubborn and doesnt want to get up, so I walk her from upstairs to downstairs and sometimes have to chase her from room to room and then finally downstairs to our destination of dinner. I guess that counts as something, right?
