Nancy surprised me by calling tonight and doing Amy's reading.. My main #1 question was if she is in any pain. It is so heartbreaking, she is. She aches all over, everything but her head and chest, stiff, not limber, feels unstretched, hard to get up, cold and damp, ache, ache, ache. Nancy thought she was a 17 year old cat and was stunned to find out she is only 4. She has nothing to compare this to since she has never read a CH kitty, had never even heard of it and looked it up while I was on the phone with her to see what exactly it was. She said she thinks acupuncture would help but I haven't heard of any here where we live but will ask my vet. She asked if CH kitties have a nromal life span and she was upset to hear they do, she said she hates to think she will suffer like that for another 12 years..
I also asked if she was in pain, what meds would help. She reccomended I try Glucosamine since it feels like arthritis to her. She couldn't understand if it is neroulogical, why the bones hurt and were so stiff, she said Amy described it to her and it sounded like what the arthritic cats she has read had described. She said Amy don't need strong drugs but something more natural.
She likes the fake lambs wool type stuff I covered her pad with and put in the cage, it feels soft and warm. Nancy said she feels like the pee'd on blankets and stuff I put down for her are all accidents, either loosing controll or just can't get up. The pads I put down for her that I get at Sam's club, Amy feels it is un-natural to use to bathroom on, they feel soft and warm like her beds and she feels like she is soiling her bed.
We got back to Boo and she didn't remember that reading until I said she was Mama's cat and it all came back to her... LOL! She asked what was the rocking chair... I told her I have Mama's glider rocker that Boo likes to lay in a lot and it ALL came to her then. She said Boo feels a lot better now, all she wanted was to be heard and have someone understand what she had been through and now that I have, she is fine and will come around and change towards me.. I told her she already has and it is WONDERFUL!!
I asked her what was Amy's take on Boo because Boo seemed to accept her first and allowed Amy to sleep on our bed before anyone else... BUT, she will hiss and slap at Boo if she walks to close to her. (She said Amy is afraid of anyone/anything getting near her because of how she aches and don't want anynody hurting her accidently.) She said Amy is so innocent, not like retared or slow but sheltered innocence. Boo doesn't concern her except for accidently stepping on her or falling on her. Boo don't scare her any except for that.
She will call again in a few day for the follow up. I am suppose to talk to the vet and see if they make the Glucosamine for cats and get some for her.
Anyone know if they have that Glucosamine for cats and how much you give them?
