    I was worried about my Boo Bear a year ago or so and had him checked out for the same reason. He was 16 then. His tests came back normal and Dr. Lee said that some cats just get thin as they get older, just like humans. (Not this human; I wish) Maybe the same thing is going on w/Miss Kitty. (I hope)
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Same here with Taz when he was just 11 years old. He went from 18lbs down to 12lbs in a very short time. All tests came back A-OK. He is maintaining his weight around the 12lbs mark here two years later.

    Well, I hope Miss Kitty's numbers stay level and do not get higher and that this is just "old lady" issues.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    If you are really concerned, a second opinion might be in order. But you might want to wait a little while.

    Is she eating, etc and are her spirits and energy good?

    Adding a good Omega 3 - 6 oil to her food (wet food) can add luster back to her coat and can help energy as well.

    HUGS and prayers for Miss Kitty.
