Cammie workin' on her tan

[Emeraldgreen]

Cammie is simply gorgeous!
I had a tortie named Jade that lived to 21 and she looked alot like your Cammie. How old is she? Jade used to get that separated look to her fur if she was dehydrated. Do you think that might be the case with her? Could just be the dryness of the air and static though.

I'd love to bury my face in that warm, plush fur of yours!

When Cammie adopted us the vet estimated she was between 10-12 years old. We've had her for 5 years, so she's definitely a senior girl.

The vet had to extract 7 teeth last month. She is eating well, but I think she has lost some weight. I'm taking her back to the vet this week.

I will ask about the dehydration. That may very well be the case. Cammie will not drink out of a bowl. She's scared of the water fountain motors (we've tried 2 different kinds, and she never would go near them). So, we leave water dripping in one of the sinks.

I have noticed that her poops are very dry. She seems to live on the edge of dehydration. But, before they did the extractions, they did a senior blood panel on her. All her #'s were excellent.

Cammie is a beautiful girl in the sun. Sunny's fur is the same and never quite lies down flat, I think it's a senior lady thing. And that Ginger tail, are you sure you haven't pinned it on and are fooling us!

I love that tail!!! How pretty!

Cammie sure looks happy on her unique sun bed.

About the dehydration and look of the fur, I'm so glad you brought that up Emeraldgreen. I've always noticed it with Ripey's fur when he need sub-q fluids but thought maybe I was crazy. How interesting!

She sure is a gorgeous girl. My Starr's coat tends to do this and I thought it was because he has a thick coat. Now that he's much healthier I haven't noticed his fur wrinkling as much. Maybe it is due to dehydration.

Cammie, can I come snuggle with you? You are just too cute.

Cammie, I want to snuggle with you after Alfie's Mom does!!
