We are starting to get a little worried about our Samson. I started noticing last week that there was more than the usual amount of food left in the dishes in the evenings, and in the past couple of days, we've noticed that Samson has lost some weight. He is still eating--still runs for the dish when I put food out--but not as much as he has been. He also hasn't been as active lately. I can't remember how long it has been since he's had a playful moment. Outside of those things, everything seems normal. He's still his usual snuggly, loving self.

Samson came to us as a stray, so we really have no way of knowing how old he is. When we first took him to the vet, it was estimated that he was between 4-7 years, which would make him now between 7-10 years.

If we haven't seen any improvement by Monday, we're heading to the vet. Of course, if things get worse, we'll go sooner.
