Update on Franklin and Chelsea

Hello kitty friends, I don’t know if anyone remembers me, I haven’t been on PetTalk much since the Catmobile adventures ended... anyway, I just wanted let you all know my kitty Franklin is doing great! He has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and is on twice daily meds. The vet said she has never seen a kitty with this condition live this long! I count every day as a blessing. He’s a happy cat. And his mom, Chelsea (Cat of the Day a bazillion years ago) is doing great too. After I shattered my elbow January 2015 she has taken on the role of “nurse” and is my constant companion....she is getting more persnickety as she gets older and routinely slaps Franklin just to let him know who’s boss even though he’s almost twice her size....lol
So that’s my update. It’s nice to see familiar names still active on this board..

Hallo!!! How old is Franklin now? My first cat Sydney had this too, but the vet refused to prescribe him medication :mad:
He died a week before his 2nd birthday....

I am so happy for you that he is getting the right medication, and I wish many more years with him:love:i
Of course I also wish Chelsea all the best!!!

Franklin is 12 years old now. I’m sorry your vet didn’t help your kitty. Mine didn’t really think anything could done but she did suggest that I take him to a kitty cardiologist. The cardiologist put him on the meds and I’m grateful.....
