Max

[Pinot's Mom]

All I can do is send prayers and {{{{{hugs}}}}} for both of you from here. I'm sorry I can't do more for your pain.

Slick I am so sorry to hear about Max. I would also be worried about the peeing as kidney kitties pee a lot. I am surprised to see how many pee-cakes Filou produces per day.
Of course if he loses weight that really makes it difficult for him to jump. I can see it in Filou who instead of jumping first to the table then at your shoulder now climbs you as if you were a tree.
Poor little boy.
And while if the worst happens you should not think of staying petless there is still only one Max. As there was only one Tigris.

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.

Here's hoping that the meds will kick in and help Max feel better very soon.

I am so sorry to hear this, and that I did not know of it earlier. Prayers being sent up that Max will respond to the medicine. Prayers, also, that the time any of us have here on earth is spent in such a loving environment that houses Max.

Oh Slick i am so sorry to be reading your update, i can only hope what time you have left with Max will be as best as it can be,you have to take comfort in knowing he has had a wonderful life with you, and you have given the best chance possible, just keep in mind his comfort,we want to hang on to them so desperately.
I am not so certain about the peeing a lot with kidney cats, my kitty is a kidney cat and he does not pee hardly at all,he can go all night long before i need to let him out in the morning and he does not use a litter box, however i told my vet and he said that was a good sign really,so perhaps with Ash he has not reached that stage yet, here's hoping.

I really feel for you at this time, it is sad and stressful and distressing for you, you have my utmost empathy,my love and my hopes that Max can hang on in there, you and Max will be in my daily thoughts, take care and HUGS.

More prayers for sweet Max...that he is more painfree soon and comfy.

[phesina]

More prayers and love are being sent for you and Max both.

[Russian Blue]

Still keeping you both in my thoughts, Slick. It is very hard to see our furkids in this way, just take it one step at a time.

Please be gentle with yourself and give Max the best hug from me.

I woke up this morning to that familiar smell.

He had pooped in the bed right beside my pillow.
