Ibiza street cat, my kids named 'Wendy' because they were worried she didn't have a name.
We met her again in the shop, where the owner insisted she's not his, but she comes there from 9am until 8pm every day and he makes sure she is fed and watered. Wendy knows.

Yeah, when they agreed it was Wendy and told her she had a name and was loved, something got into my eyes and made then a little watery.How sweet of them, bless their hearts.
Was very pleased to find she's well fed and watered by her in denial owner, also

Friendly Wendy this morning
The last 3 cats I've had have all lost teeth well before I would have considered the cats to be elderly, so I've decided to give my new cat raw chicken wings, once a week. First one last night and it kept him busy for a couple of hours. 
This morning I found only the thickest bone left. He'd dragged it into the lounge but he'd stripped it.
This cat will be the first one which I have given its diet serious consideration. All the previous ones I've had have all just eaten whatever cat food was popular and widely available at the supermarket.
I think the drive behind my decision was having a litter tray indoors.
All my previous cats have all shit somewhere outside, so out of sight out of mind.

Fun, isn't itI think the drive behind my decision was having a litter tray indoors.
How can something so small leave a smell so bad?
I've had problems with mine having the shits. Those ones fill the house. They even wake you up if you're sleeping in bed.Fun, isn't it

heckling from the back!
Had a chat with the V.E.T. about the Tripod's production of re-cycled cat food, as they wanted us to monitor it after her release into our care. The medication she had been on was expected to cause her constipation.
As expected, she began producing ...
What we decided should be nicknamed "pit-props" from their appearance.
However, that appears to be normal for her, based on the state of them even several months later, and on at least one per day pattern. It does stink but the brand of cat litter and her covering-up combine to reduce the odour. She alternates using both available trays. So far, apart from when she was recovering from the op, she hasn't "missed" ... or hidden one somewhere odd.

Just found out he is still weeing on my lap - since this has been going on I've been keeping puppy pads and a succession of old towels on my lap, so he's not actually weeing direct on my lap iykwim!
I'm wondering now he is more perky and can clearly make it to the litter trays whether he's developed an aversion to weeing in them because he associates it with pain, and associates my lap/his spot on the sofa (the same place, depending upon whether I am sitting in it or not) and on his sunbed by the window with comfort, so he's just decided it's safer to go in those places?
I think I need to do some research about retraining a cat to use a litter tray after this sort of situation - perhaps getting rid of the litter and replacing it with one of the old towels on top of a puppy pad actually in the tray might make it more appealing and not associated with pain?

His theme tune is the Pink Panther theme song from the cartoon
He is really quite pink for a cat

naturally fluffy
is he still a bit under-weight?
OSH kitties tend to be fairly skinny to start with though, don't they?
and isn't the average cat in a multi species household in the UK a bit chonkier than they ought to be?

It is true that a lot of cats are a bit on the stocky side. And that OSH tend to have a "drainpipe" physique - long and skinny with long legs.
He is underweight though, in his prime he was over 5kg and now he is 3.75kg which is actually slightly heavier than he was a month ago. Still underweight however - he does have the appearance of an elderly skin and bones cat these days.
I think the main thing is he's lost a lot of muscle mass since he's been on a low-protein diet due to CKD - he used to be incredibly strong and muscular and I think it's mainly muscle mass that he's lost.
So yeah he is an old skinny boy, I'd like him to put on about half a kilo but it's really difficult to get weight on an elderly CKD cat on a restricted diet.
