I spent over half an hour, probably closer to an hour and got enough to wrap 3 wraps. And it sure as hell is not pretty in any way....
15 isn't old at all! Mischief the Magnificent, aka the Durakitty, aka "Just call me Attila", is back to her old grumpy bossy self hooray! Bronze, chances are that your cat is hyperthyroid, like Chiffy is. Her weight's been going down and she has arthritis. I bought some of that super calorie "nutrical" and am hoping that will fatten her up a bit - just a teaspoon a day should help get some weight on her bones. Maybe that's something your wife can get into her. And because of the arthritis it's probably difficult for her to groom as well as she used to so more brushing/combing is necessary.
Btw Eleanor - there is a prescription liquid that may help your kitty called buprenorphine. It's excellent. Chiffy rates it A-1.

She's old (15, but doesn't know it) and skinny. We try fattening her up but it's no use. Cats do what cats want to do. She weighs 6-1/2 pounds. 5-3/4's of it is hair. She got knotty when she was young but then here in the last 10 - 12 years not at all. Now she's getting knotty again. I'm just gonna have her shaved down. Not to the nubs but maybe half of what she is. This will give you an idea. Most of the time her whole head is tucked in and you cannot tell which end is which unless you wake her up.
Hula, so glad to hear your kitty is doing well.
Bronze, your kitty is pretty, what I can see anyway. Great coloring.

Just one more coil that makes somewhere between little or no difference than the other 9,000 coil configurations.

Hula, this cat has always been a skinny minny. And I don't think she has arthritis. She still tears around the house like a kitten...at 15 years old. She can't hear anymore and the tear duct in her left eye gets wiggy once in awhile. Other than that and she's in good shape.
She's a Ragdoll. If you go on the internet looking for Ragdolls, they go anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000. For a FREAKING CAT!!!!
This one found us. She was wandering the neighborhood for a couple weeks. She was all mangy and a total mess, skinny beyond belief. Obviously was lost or abandoned. That's when my wife started feeding her and bugging the hell out of me to keep her. I knew then the thing was ours but didn't say anything. I really did not want another cat. Had two as it was and they drove me nuts. Tried finding the owners with no luck. She was only a couple years old if that. My mom had a Ragdoll cat (actually two at different times) that I talked my aunt into taking after my Mom died. My mom had just died little more than a half year before I saw this cat wandering around. She'd come around every day standing in the street looking at me sitting on the porch. I know this sounds strange, but I felt like my mom sent me this cat because she looked exactly the same as her cat. I really, really didn't want her but I caved in pretty quick because of my mom.
There were two boys who lived next door. They were 13 and 10 (or about). Their father beat his mother regularly and these boys suffered immeasurably. The older one especially. He was highly introverted and tremendously sad and confused. He had a cat that was his and that cat was his best friend. I swear he lived for that cat. He took Keighley (our mangy stray cat) and spent two days pulling the burrs and knots out of her and made her look like new. I was shocked he could do that. I think he knew I did not want to keep her so he made her look pretty so I would like her and he could have another cat to visit.
So you can see, I didn't really have much of a choice but to keep her. 13 years later I can definitively say she is the biggest pest I have ever known but she also has more personality and affection than any animal I have ever had.
