Wow, she really doesn't weigh much! I actually just called the vet to find out if they weighed Peanut when I took her in last month. They did and she was at 7 lbs, which I find shocking! At her healthiest she weighed 9 lbs and she is really light as a feather so I'm surprised she's that heavy. She really does feel like skin and bones....and, well...fur.
The vet said last October she weighed 7.5 lbs, so in 6 months she's lost 1/2 lb, and I bet if I weighed her myself tonight she has even lost a bit more since May. I call her my bony butt kitty.
The good news is she's light as a feather when she jumps on my stomach as I'm laying on the couch.
I did have to start trimming the hair on her butt. She, too, wasn't grooming as well and after her last bladder infection, the vet suggested the trimming, especially because of her tumor we want as few bladder infections as possible.
I'm glad to hear Mimi is still doing well also. Peanut will turn 18 in September...which reminds me....another old lady here on PT either just had a birthday or is about to have a birthday. Have to PM Vermontcat and see how our Samantha girl is doing.
Georgia, Mitzi always reminds me of Peanut too. I love the little "split" noses they have.
