Ralph's Mum was having a little trouble attaching his picture and as she was sending it to me she asked me to try to post it as a thumbnail - so here goes. Neither of us knows how to post the pictures so they show up large in the thread as most of you clever-clogs-computer-whizzes are able. But I have been OK with posting thumbnails.

Drum roll please .............Ta Daaaah!!!

Ralph shows his cultured side by watching TV, apparently. I think this one is so cute, I want to go up behind him and plant a kiss on that dear little orange head! Mwah!

A BIG THANKS to TopCat3 for posting the photos of Ralph!!! Now everyone can see him!!! A setback at breakfast, he refused to eat. We did get some of Molly's dry renal diet onto to his plate and he ate some! TO Don Juan Mom: we intended to keep that "package" for as long as we can!!! Ralph is a good guy! And a retired therapy cat(an award winner,too)!! Have a good day all!!

Ralphie is so ADORABLE.

Give him a little smooch and hug from me.

Thanks for posting his pictures! He's so beautiful and sweet! And he must have such a wonderful and sweet personality, and brought joy and happiness to many people while he worked as a therapy cat!

I hope the setback is only temporary, and that he will soon get his appetite back and starts eating again.

Best wishes to him!

Last evening, we noticed that Ralph was not bearing any weight and limping with his right rear leg! Of course, it was after hours at the vet, but I was able to speak with the vet. Ralph is going in to see her this morning. His paw pad remains pink and warm to touch. He refused to eat, but did enjoy over an ounce of baked diced turkey pieces. Ralph got out of HIS Grainger box, limped around the kitchen and used the litter box, then back into HIS box! Will be in touch with the vet from work...Sandra
