Can you spare a prayer for my blackie Boo Bear?; 7/9; He's hyperthyroid; post #38

[Medusa]

He's so thin that I'm getting worried. He had his senior checkup last year and Dr. Lee told me that everything was fine, that some cats get really thin as they age and Boo is 18 1/2. He's acting weird, though, too. He and Pidge have been heart throbs since the day I brought Pidge home and lately he's been downright mean to her. He still mounts her and I guess that's ok except that he's so rough that he makes her cry out. He bites her on the back of the neck so hard that sometimes I can't even pull him off her. I've been having Pidge sleep w/me since she was diagnosed w/cardiomyopathy and I thought it would do her good to have Boo sleep w/us, too and, for a while it worked. But now he's just so mean to her, that I end up putting him in the basement w/the rest of the Fur Posse so that he'll leave Pidge alone. He's acting awfully needy, too. He wants to be on my lap all the time and, in fact, he's on my lap right now as I type. He's always been so laid back and this makes me wonder as well. So he has an appt. w/Dr. Lee on Monday at 2:00. Until then, if you could spare a prayer for my skinny ol' handsome boy, I'd appreciate it. Boo is my son's heart kitty and my son's heart will break when Boo finally does make his trip to the Bridge which I'm hoping won't be for years yet.

You know Mary I still dont understand Boo is still doing all of that mounting on Pidge.. My males dont even try the females.. I guess they all know that they are all fixed & dont even have the desire to waste the energy..
Sending Lots of Prayers & Huggss for your Baby Boo..

I will add you and Boo to my thoughts list.

My Taz is very clingy right now too. He's fallen several times trying to jump in my lap when I'm not ready.

Boo has done that, too, but I chalked it up to getting old. He also walks through the house crying. He doesn't appear to be in pain, he eats, drinks and uses the litter box fine w/no problems and he doesn't fight w/any of the other cats but he just will not leave Pidge alone. I just can't figure it out.

Poor Boo and Pidge - and you!

I hope the vet can find a reason for his aggression...maybe he's just more so as he gets older (meaning mounting Pidge).

HUGS and prayers going out.

I bet that animals suffer some of the same mental problems in age as people, who knows what they'd call Alzheimers in cats ... but anyway Boo will be in our prayers.
