Well the vet took Claudia's temp. & weight her temp was normal no fever so that was good. Weight is 13.9 lbs. The vet didn't want to put her on any meds since she has had it for a couple days now and says she thinks it will work her way through.

If she's still coughing by tomorrow I'm going to call the vet back and see if I can get her some meds. The poor thing coughs so hard & gags from coughing.

The vet looked at her ears too and nothing out of the normal.


Also, I asked my vet about running some blood test on Claudia for her thyroid and she said she doesn't normally see a cat that has gained weight because of her thyroid.

I was sorta disappointed with her decision because I feel Claudia is active and it's getting hard for her to jump where she used to jump easily before. Back in 2005 she weighed in at 10 1/2 pounds now she is 13.9 lbs.

I know that doesn't seem like much but ours friends who haven't been over in a while noticed that she has gained some weight.

I don't want anyone thinking I'm neglecting her or anything and I tried putting her on the hairball food as the vet recommended for extra fiber so they wouldn't eat as much but my Hermes has a very sensitive stomach and he can't handle that food.


I took Fiona (new kitten) with me to the vets since she needed her 2nd set of kitten shots and she got her rabies and distemp. shot.

Fiona did very well. I was even able to take her with just a harness and leash. She laid on the vet's desk when I was writing out my check and didn't move. She is scheduled for her spay in Nov. poor girl.
