Best wishes and best of luck to you and your little sweeties. Please keep us all posted.

I've had to put a few of my furry friends to sleep over the years, and it's not fun to even contemplate it.

I know that it's not always easy to switch them to a kind of food they're not used to, even if it's much better for them. And when you adopt a cat from rescue, it's usually been fed dry food exclusively.

Okay, I just came back from the vets and she is not diabetic. It’s either hypothyroid or kidney disease. I’ll get the blood results tomorrow by 1pm.

The one thing that shocked me.....she’s only 3.9 pounds! She was always a chunkie small built cat. My old vet was always at me to put her on a diet and told me to stop free feeding her.

Thank goodness I didn’t listen. Well, I did once and somehow she knew what was breakable, i.e. anything glass and proceeded to knock them all off of every surface and break them.

I heeded and gave her back her crunchies. I will now start to give all 3 more mushy food and not keep them on an exclusive crunchie diet.

I found some natural grain free can food, so I started giving her the kitten formula. Hopefully I can put some weight on her.

I just want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes and also your sad stories of your beloved furry ones.

It’s always a great comfort to know you’re not alone. Thank you.

I’ll be yapping again tomorrow when I find out the blood results.

God Bless you guys (((hug))).
