Dear Slick, you and Max are on my mind and I will keep sending positive thoughts that the Metacam will work so he can get better.

Does the litterbox have a high edge? Perhaps he has problems getting over it? But what can you do about that?

I searched for the heating pad John's niece brought along one Christmas, the size and shape are very similar to this, and it goes in the microwave. The one on this picture looks awful, but it probably does the job.

Big hugs to you - and kisses to Max.
