I had discussion with the vet re Ash today,at the moment he is not displaying any other signs of dementia, infact he is quite with it other than that,I am not going to medicate him for it,I am with Slick on that one, he has enough meds as it is,it is about quality of life now not quantity i guess, and the vet is simply amazed at how long he has gone, almost 18mths,it is not typical of a cat in the stages he was to begin with, he is a hardy old boy.

I just was curious about the fur pulling, and thought it probably was some signs of dementia related to the renal failure.

As i said other than that he is doing remarkably well, and is really with it,time is probably nearly up for my ole guy, but he keeps bouncing back time and time again, and i just have to keep hope, he made with us till xmas and i had my doubts, so now we are hoping for the new year, at the moment he is eating quite well and seems happy enough.

He loves to lie on the driveway on the stones, not my idea of comfort, but he loves it ,either it is the warmth or the coolness,not sure, but that is where on a fine day you will find Ash, enjoying soaking up the rays of sunshine.

Slick glad to see Max is hanging on in there,thoughts are with you too, thanks for the support.
