Diva's condition deteriorated with time. She used to be able to safely climb stairs. About 3 years ago she knocked her head so bad falling down the stairs she had a seizure! Smart little devil that she is, she connected the dots and no longer attempts the stairs.

I need to hold her while she potties. She knows to yell for help when she needs it. She lies down and eats out of a low food bowl and drinks water. She has trained me very well to see to her needs.

Diva is nine and a half years old. I know of a CH cat who lived to be over 20,

Diva's condition seemed to stabilize at about 6.

She is the most loving cat, and is very grateful to us! I hope Amy doesn't deteriorate any more, but the situation can be managed. I never had had a CH cat before, so it was very alarming until the vet explained about it.
