Took Robin to the vet today because I think she has a UTI. So the vet is examining her and trying to feel for her bladder. He's murmuring to himself as he feels around and then says "...and those are fatpads....". I smiled and said "fatpads? I guess that's why we call her our chunky monkey." he immediately started back pedaling and trying to explain himself and I just smiled. We know she's a little chunker, but she's a Norwegian Forest Cat which is a bigger boned cat, so we're not worried about her. Besides, she only weighed about 10.2 lbs and half that is fur.....
Anyway, just thought you guys would get a kick out of the fatpads. Hmmmm....now if I could just get rid of my own fatpads.....

She has been diagnosed with Calcium Oxalate Crystals/stones. She is really doing fine - absolutely NO change in behavior at all, still her sweet silly self, but there was still blood in her urine after the course of antibiotics, so back to the vet. Good news is it's not cancer like Peanut had - just crystals - whew....I think.
