    Sending you pawsitive thouhts, get well soon Miss Kitty. Take it easy at feeding time so that your blood pressure does not increase again.

    So far, so good. She seems to be tolerating the amlodipine. She'll go back on Friday to have her blood pressure rechecked.

    Today, Miss Kitty had her blood pressure rechecked. It had not changed at all.
    So the vet increased the amlodipine dose, and we're going to do another check in one week.

    We're sending loving good wishes that the increased dose will do the job.

    Miss Kitty is due for her recheck tomorrow. Lately, she has been shedding enormously, especially for a shorthair cat.
    I brush her occasionally, so a little while ago, I got the brush and a comb out, and I started grooming her.
    What I found shocked me deeply.
    The hair on her back was completely matted, in sticky clumps and tons of dander. I never had any mats on any of my cats.
    Once I started brushing, the hair came out by the fistful. I did this for 15 minutes, and it just kept coming.
    For some reason, Miss Kitty has stopped grooming herself, and her body is ridding itself of hair.
    Something else to worry about!
