I fear that my senior Boo is on his decline; *Update #109; 10/13

[Medusa]

Hey Mary,

Have you tried mixing some KMR liquid with canned kitten food? That'll put meat on his bones. That's what I do for my 16 year old cat Murphy. She is bone thin but has an appetite like a horse. I attribute her thinness to her thyroid. Before I adopted her from the Ct Humane Society, she had her right thyroid nodule removed. She's a little spunky, even at the tender age of 16. I'll give her whatever food/KMR mix is left over from little Molly. She noshes on it throughout the day.

No, I've not thought of that, Donna. I have an appointment w/Dr. Lee tomorrow so I'll talk to him about it.

Boo just isn't himself. He's very lethargic; he usually races up the stairs ahead of me at night and hops up into the bed but last night, he stayed downstairs and slept on the door mat. I could hardly sleep; I kept getting up and checking on him. He moved to the enclosed patio room and slept on the cat bed there but this morning he was just lying there w/his eyes open. He's still eating but I don't know if he used the litter box last night or not. He may have or it may have been Coco Puff. I think I'll put Coco Puff downstairs w/the rest of the Fur Posse tonight so I can see whether or not Boo uses the litter box. He hasn't had a problem but I just want to be safe. I'll update everyone after his appointment tomorrow morning. I have a hair appointment right after so I may not be able to update until evening. Prayers are eagerly welcomed.

Y'know, I no sooner booked the appt. than Boo jumped up behind my computer as he usually does. It's like having a toothache that quits hurting as soon as you see the dentist. I swear, they rally and knock my instincts off kilter. Puddy rallied so much that I didn't know which end is up. Right now he's lying on the back of the sofa, making a liar out of me. (not complaining; just sayin'....)

I lit a candle for Boo just now

Thanx, Phesina and Cassiesmom, for the candles. I've been remiss in that dept. I light candles at home every day, though, but I should try to remember to light them on the site. Boo says "Thanx!"

I've also been remiss in the candle dept. and will go there now and light a couple for Boo.

You and Boo will be in my thoughts and prayers, Mary.
