It's not often I catch 'em hanging together like that.


Here's just C, the old guy, a few minutes later.
Thinkin' deep thoughts, no doubt.

Oh, he's lost a lot of weight. I debate taking him to the vet again. He HATES the vet any more---didn't used to, but now they consider him "fractious." A coupla years ago he got the irradiation for hyperthyroidism, and that seemed to stop his weight loss, but it may have only slowed it. He seems happy & healthy & eats well. Has more energy than before. Dunno.

He's going to be 19 this summer.

I'm really glad he got the irradiation treatment instead of trying to go the medicine route. M's sister's cat had a long battle with hyperthyroidism and she had to put him down (to sleep, whatever. I hate those terms. I guess I should say euthanized but it sounds grandiose to me. For that matter grandiose sounds grandiose.) just recently. He was 16. She was kicking herself for not doing the irradiation treatment. It really is the best route.

I think the last time I saw C was probably pre-treatment. Just didn't remember him looking so svelte. Sounds like he's doing great.

I don't know about "great," but certainly good. I do worry. I guess they often do turn out not to be immortal. Yeah, he used to be quite the honkin' kitty. As much as 16 pounds, if I remember right. I doubt he's half that now, or much more.

Humph, in the meantime, is filling out.

I might be fostering kitties from the shelter soon. I've been approved. Could have a mama in with 'em too. I think Humphrey might dig interacting with 'em.

p.s.
