Michaels Coming Home Tomorrow

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...du/th_MIKE.jpg
AND HES GOT A MILD CARDIO MYTHROPHY. MY VET NOTICED THAT WHEN MICHAEL RAN HE WAS PUFFING A BIT AND HAD TROUBLE JUMPING.
MICHAEL HAS TWO MEDS TO TAKE TO HELP HIM OUT, NEITHER OF WHICH HE LIKES. THE VETS GOING TO TRY ANOTHER TASTIER ONE.
MICHAEL AND THE OTHER CATS ARE SLOWLY GOIG TO A LEAN MEAT/VEGEATABLE HOME COOKED MEAL PLAN WITH NO COMMERCIAL CANNED AND A SMALLER PERCETAGE OF COMMERCIAL DRY.
THIS WILL BE HARD TO CHANGE A SENIOR CATS DIET.
BUT IT WILL BE A CHALLANGE FOR MY DEAR ORANGE FRIEND AND I.
WISH US LUCK PLEASE.

The very best of luck to you and Michael, Gary. Michael is a lucky cat to have you caring for him. Adjustments in diet are never easy, but it's the best thing for him and the other cats. Hang in there!

Good luck to you and Michael! It is hard to change a diet! Michael, and the found cats, just know that your Daddy loves you guys, and only wants what's best for you all!

Gary, good for you! After a year of health troubles with her cat, my mom's hairdresser suggested a lot of cats have an allergy to corn and cornstarch.

I am going with my mom tomorrow to a store I have visited, where I got my cats their bag of raw kibble. She is looking at changing the food he cats get, thank goodness!

So - are you now the chief Cook and bowl-washer? :)

The new food and a good med should allow Michael to spend more happy years at the Hotel.

I'm glad to hear that Michael is coming home.:D I hope that the new diet goes well. Good luck.:)

Oh dearest Michael, you have to learn to love those meds. They are given out of love and affection. and will make you fell so much better.

Gary, this lean meat /veggie diet sounds like one I should be on...I've been packing on a few pounds over the years. :D :D
Tell Michael if he sticks to it....I will too. We will be diet buddies. Tell him he can call or email whenever he feels like falling off the wagon. :)

Gary, I am feeding my guys a raw diet (and I make the food). If you have any questions I can try and help you out.

Welcome home Michael!

THE GOOD THING IS THAT I GOT MICHAEL IN BEFORE IT GOT TO A DANGER LEVEL. MICHAELS PAWS ARE WARM, HIS GUMS ARE PINK AND OTHER THAN BEING A LITTLE SHORT OF BREATH HES A VERY HEALTHY CAT WITH VERY GOOD GENES FROM BEING A BARN CAT.
HES 15.5 SO HES IN THE HOME STRETCH BUT I AM HOPING AND PRAYING THAT HE WILL CELEBRATE HIS 20 THE PURRRTHDAY WITH US.
AT LEAST.

MY TWO MICHAELS DINING OUT.

Gary, Angel Ralph Syracuse is flying in to help you with Michael. Ralph also had cardiomypathy. Take Care Michael!!!!

Michael, Cassie here. My Meowmom is a nurse and she said to tell you to do your best to take your medicine and eat the new diet your Dad prepares for you. She said she is glad you saw the doctor when you did. She was looking at your pictures and doing the leaky eye thing. I meowed to her not to worry because you are in your Dad's very capable care. We want you with us for a long while yet, just like Killearn kitties already wrote. Purrs and head bops from Chicago...

;) Congrats on coming home Michael.. Stay well ok & enjoy your new diet..

Michael, I'm happy to hear you're home - now enjoy your new diet and take your medicine like a good boy!

Loved the video! :)

Fister sends headbumpies and all his support.

Gary, I am so glad that your doctor found the Cardiomyopathy before it got bad! You tell dear Michael to please take his medicine so we can enjoy his handsome orange self for many more years!!!

Hugs and Purrs,
Kim and furry friends!

Good luck with Michael, Gary :)

Good luck w/the diet change, Gary. I'll bet w/lotsa love and good food, Michael will live to at least 20 years of age or more.

Good they caught it early.

Hope the diet change goes smoothly.

WE ARE NOW SELECTING FROM THE SWITZERS LEAN LET DELICOUS HEART SMART MENU. NO ROASTED OR FRIED BUT STIR FRIED IN LIGHT OIL WITH RICE AND VEGETABLES. THESE SUBSIDIZED LOW FAT MEALS ARE GOING TO HELP BOTH MICHAEL AND I.
AND POUNCER ROCCALNO LOVES RICE.
WHEN MICHAEL CAME OUT OF HIS CARRIER ALL THE FOUND CATS CAME OVER TO SNIFF HIM AND MAKE HIM FEEL AT HOME.
I LOVE MY DEAR ORANGE FRIEND AND THE MEDS ARE IN A GEL THAT HE AT LEAST TOLERATES.
HIS AUNT JOAN MADE HIM A SPECIAL DINNER.

Peony, Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, Pat, and Priscilla Angel
