Max

[momoffuzzyfaces]

After seeing those sweet pictures, I want to kiss that sweet face!!!
Please deliver lots of head kissies from me, ok?

I had a feeling that Max was a big fluff ball. When my Puddy died, Slick sent me a lock of Max's fur to comfort me. I still have it and always will. I have a lock of Puddy's fur, too. I keep it in a plastic baggie and take it out every once in a while and give it a good sniff. It still smells like her. But Puddy would've gotten lost in all that Max fur, fur sure!

Aww, what a big ol' Persian-faced poof!

I am on Meals on Wheels and I have Janice stop by a Deli for Sea Food Chowder for JJJ3 , My Princess and Michael aka Mr Purr.
I find that sometimes when My Cats dont seem to have an appetite that the helps a lot.
And a Nice Bagel with Lox will alwys get Josephs interest too.

Both Sandra and I mentioned playing classical music to de-stress a cat. Here is a clip from the CBS Morning News about this very subject. Their focus was on dogs, but it does work the same for cats.

FYI - it takes about 10 seconds for the clip to really begin.

How is Max doing??

Ask Pacific Health Care if they have the Terumo needles -
which are much sharper and more easily inserted than Monoject needles.

Yes Phred, those are the needles that I ordered and received. Very sharp indeed. My fingers are pin cushions.

But the way he behaves during sq time, is just like the way Raven behaved. She did not want it, and LET ME KNOW!!!

Yes, and it's getting worse. He fights and fights and I feel so bad because I'm literally holding his body down while my neighbour holds his head down. I feel so bad but it's the only way I can insert the needle.

I want ed to post that maybe your vet will let you give Max some Lactulose to help him with his constipation. It is worth a try....

I'm already giving him Lactulose every night mixed in with his wet food. It working to a certain extent....right now I'm waiting for the next BM. His last one was on Saturday.

When my Puddy died, Slick sent me a lock of Max's fur to comfort me. I still have it and always will.

Oh Mary, that's so sweet. Max says thank you.

Slick, did you ask your vet or the supply place about B-12?

Yes, I did call Dr. Singh and ask about the B-12. He said that he believes that it would not improve his quality of life. I'm on the fence about this one.

That link is so interesting, I just might order the book. I don't have any classical music on hand but my Mom does. I think I'll borrow one. Thanks.

So how is Max doing?? He's holding his own. Eating up a storm and kicking up a storm when it's poke time. I've decided that he will get a poke on Mon, Wed and Friday and get the weekend off...and of course if he starts to go downhill he will get fluids every night.

I've delivered all the kisses and smooches....he wasn't impressed - then again it was right after his fluids....
