Yes it has,dale

I think we're going to lose Tigger. He's been staying out all night and he hasn't done that in 10 years.
Last couple days he's hardly come in at all. Haven't seen him all day today. Very unlike him. Hubs
thinks he's going to wander off and die.

Is he eating? Drinking? Weight up or down significantly?

How old is he?



During T'mato's last month, he would wander quite far (for him, two properties
away was "far"). At first, I credited his activity as being a benefit of his weight
loss. But weight loss *is* a red flag. He kept fooling us with his perfect bloodwork.

Last vet check? Bloodwork?

 

[FranC]

Weight loss,not eating much. It's been coming. I just didn't want to see it. He's 16.

[tiburonfirst]

legs and feet still moving some when sitting which is an improvement but not much change trying to stand and take some steps.

Do you have a downstairs bedroom you could switch to?

 

[tiburonfirst]

Anything that's works is good. When my SIL was paralyzed they were lucky to have a small room available. Their bedroom had been in the loft. More recent news is they're back in the loft. A bathroom has been added and a lift also.

We do Bear, do you have a place picked out for him or will you keep him inside?

 

[Katmar]

T'mato is home.

Glad he is home with his family, Bear. There is some comfort in that....

Glad T'mato is home.

So sorry, Fran. Doesn't sound good at all. You know we all understand how that feels.
(((HUGS)))
As Dale said, way TOO much of that going on this year....

 

[classwife]

geez Fran, I am sorry

Bear, glad you bought him home to rest.

Dang Tibs...gotta get that man moving fast !

 

[tiburonfirst]

Dang Tibs...gotta get that man moving fast !

wish i could!

hiya, classy! and dale, kat, bear and frannie!

 

[Katmar]

AC guy was here. Tested everything. All is working. Said it probably overheated and shut itself off (furnace fan continued to run). When I reset it, it was okay. It sits in the direct sun, so I want to find a way to shield it from the sun so this doesn't happen again. This man was so generous, he did not charge me a dime. How kind is that? Want to PIF in some way. I'll figure something out!

 

[tiburonfirst]

great news, kat! but you're the second one today with that exact same scenario

 

[SilverBear]

Woman’s mission to help stray cats thwarted by City Hall

 

[SilverBear]

We do Bear, do you have a place picked out for him or will you keep him inside?

Inside. With Charlie, Fresca, Ethel and Gizmo. Then they all get
tossed into a coffin with me when that time comes. Or buried
with me if I go the urn route.

 

[Katmar]

great news, kat! but you're the second one today with that exact same scenario

Really? Who else?
