heckling from the back!
Update on Hilli - still taking her meds, and is now rather more than the skinny object she was ..... to the point of turning up the nose at one of her normal fav meals this morning (she did eat it later ......) and her coat is much better, even if *still* moulting !

Cats are so elegant, aren't they? 
Charlie's 15 now. He's developed some kind of breathing issue, but he was at the vet on Monday for his 3 monthly and Ted said his lungs sounded just fine, his heartrate was perfect, and when we got his thyroid blood tests back they were spot on as well. He's eating fine, he's a good weight (5.2 kg), and seems perfectly happy in himself. Anyway, not much we can do other than sit and look a little concerned if he's having a noisy breathing episode. There's no point putting him through lots of tests while he's otherwise perfectly happy and seemingly healthy. After his series of vet visits last summer that resulted in his teeth coming out and a change in his thyroid meds, he's been utterly traumatised about the vet. Whereas he'd grumpily and silently tolerate it, now it's clearly very stressful, he growls, sometimes hisses, and gives them a lot of trouble when they try to take blood. I've got some Zylkene, but I don't think I gave it him for long enough before this past trip on Monday, or in high enough of a dose. Next time I'll give it him for 3 or 4 days before hand, and double it up the day before.
Anyway, dead graceful, Charlie ^

That's almost a Z in semaphore.

Sorry to hear about your furry friend.
As has been well documented here and there, Charlie was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a couple of years ago. There have been ups and downs, but generally as long as you can make sure they take their medication they do just fine. Charlie's a right fat fucker now, despite having been utterly skeletal twice along the way. Your vet may or may not try to convince you to put them on the thyroid food they do now. Don't do it! Hyperthyroid cats need a decent amount of protein to retain their lean muscle, and the thyroid food has your typical low amount. Plus you'd have to ensure they eat nothing else but that, ever. Seeing as though Hilli isn't quite the spring chicken anymore, you want to make sure she has the luxuries she deserves
And yes, twas me who recommended Arden Grange Liver Paste. It's a god send. It's difficult to get the cat version these days, but the dog version seems plentiful. They are the same thing (I emailed Arden Grange to ask), so no worries there. Apparently it's also fit for humans. I mean, I think it smells nice, but I now have insider knowledge that it doesn't taste as nice as it smells

One of our bastard cats just brought this lovely duckling home
It's back with mum and dad now but keeping cats away from the duck pond is impossible
I turned-up in a town not far from you once to find that one particularly enthusiastic local cat had to be sent to the cattery for the duration when the ducklings were on the-go, such was his determination to hunt them to extinction!

When I was about 7, I decided to see what Kit-e-Kat tasted like, so I ate a small spoonful.
It's not too bad. Like gritty sardines. Would go well on toast....

"Enhanced" as in you fitted him with laser eyes? Not sure the RSPCA would approve *shakes head and tuts*

There had better be - this is like looking at a cutey kitten in PRISON
when we all know a kitten should be FREE - biting toes and chasing strings and generally being a PITA
He looks lovely

I'm on the early duty with both the little ones this morning. I might have to go out later to escape all the cuteness.

Oh Trashy, poor youBaby Mapped and baby cat are just too cute!
Bubbles is missing. I went away overnight - left them loads of food etc and was gone just over 24 hours but no sign of him since I got home. I'm really worried
One of the things that helped us, which I think the Cat's Protection League suggested, when Mr.K went missing, and this is how we found him, was to go out later at night, midnight-ish, and shout for them as then there is less noise so you can hear them and they can hear you better. Might be difficult with the foal unless he wants a midnight adventure.
