A lady came to the shelter on Friday and spent time with almost every cat. She couldn't make up her mind. I suggested that she hadn't met the right one yet and would be certain when she did. She asked to see one more cat, spent time alone with it and announced she was the one. Too late to adopt, but came in the next day at opening and made if official. Good feeling.
We had a very nice orange tabby who was attracting interest from a number of people. Unfortunately he has lymphoma and was waiting for his foster hospice person to pick him up. There are 2 more hospice kitties, one with mammary cancer. The hospice program is for kitties with 3-6 months of expected good life. When they're in pain at the end, they'll be humanely euthanized. My foster cat, Chewey, was supposed to be fospice, but he's going to go up for adoption. We think he has 4-5 good years left.

Great news about Chewey!

Excellent capture, photographically speaking. Not such a good capture for the rodent.

Thank you to feelingfeline for inviting me to this thread! My cats, Xena and Lucy, are so important to my DH and me. We look for them the instant we come into the house and are overjoyed when they grace our laps with their presence.

Good news. My foster hospice kitty had treatment for his hyperthyroid and is now adoptable. Only thing keeping his profile off-line is needing to take a few decent photos of him. Maybe one of him eating - that's his favorite activity. I wish we could brush him because he's medium haired and would look beautiful brushed, but he hates it with a passion. I have to be quick to take my hand away before he bites it.

Arthur had an ultrasound today after his regular vet detected heart murmur at his recent booster vaccination appt. We had to go to Dublin to see a feline cardiac specialist. (no he wasn't a feline
) Arthut has to have 1/4 of a human beta blocker tablet per day and be scanned again in October to see if this is stable or progressive. Hopefully stable. He is only 4. Anyone got any experience of similar?0 -
My foster Chewey has a heart murmur and is 15. If it's stable, he'll probably live to a ripe old age. I hope Arthur is a gentleman when it comes to medication. We hid Chewey's in a favorite food that we only fed with the pills. He had 2 a day for his thyroid.

Well we got the first tablet piece eaten in the food like a dream. It helps that it is so tiny, being a quarter of a very small tablet. By great luck DH happened to have a pill cutter - handy little gadget that does the quarters perfectly.

Years ago when I had to give my Pumpkin thyroid medication, I wrapped it in Monterey Jack cheese and hand fed it to her.

sounds good. Arthur is a cheese lover.0

Tried Arthur with cheddar, no good, tablet kept falling out. Edam much better, able to squash it into a nice little sandwich
(Not sure if you have these cheese types in the US but they are the standard cheeses here).
Zillsnot4me also told me about these crunchy little Pill Pockets for cats. She actually found them on Amazon.co.uk as well as the US Amazon site. Good to know.

Pill Pockets are great. Make a flavor for dogs too. Bought cat ones by mistake, dogs ate them.
They look like Play Doh, smell vile, mushy, but the critters snarf them down pill and all.

Here is a pic of Reggie, the handsome boy that Sister and I were babysitting in Greenwich, CT. (sitting in "his" chair, of course)

And how right he is!
His chair.
His house.
His attendants.
Just as it should be
Delighted to see you and Reggie on here Celia. having seen handsome Reggie on another thread I was hoping you would post a Reggie picture on here!

feelingfeline - Glad you enjoyed Reggie's pics. Just returned on 7/2 after being away since 6/23 and trying to catch up with topics & postings. We both miss our own kitties and love the chance to babysit Reggie.

KB - Yes, he does have a rather regal expression! He is extremely well loved by his humans. While they were on vacation in France, Sister received a message about how they missed him after seeing a 20 year old French cat in their travels. Guess the life in France is good for cats!

I remember seeing cats everywhere in Paris. Some even lived in restaurants and sunned in the front window. I don't know what people with allergies do there.

You reminded me of this picture taken on a holiday some years ago. This snoozing cat was in a woodcarvers shop window in Oberammergau in Bavaria.

Hey everyone. It's been awhile since I've posted anything.
If anyone remembers my oldest,Mackenzie, stated dating our vet,still still dating 💞 he is such a sweet man. We adopted Zeus from his office. This cat is going to make me drink.lol he is a counter top ,table, jumper.. if you leave a drawer,cabinet,closet,door open he entered and explores. He is a curious one. He definitely helped create the name "curiosity killed the cat".lol
Just yesterday he knocked over an entire shelf of books.. probably about 40 books 😑
He is cute but draining..lol this is how Lu Lu feels about having a new way too energetic sibling

Hi luvpugs, Beautiful picture of Mouse.
GA Momma, poor Lulu! That is such great news that all is going well in the relationship between your beautiful DD and that lovely vet, I remember you telling the sweet story of how the romance blossomed. Long life and happiness to them both, and also to yourself Lulu and Zeus. 40 books - yikes!

Hi ladies,
I just had to share this with someone. A friend just emailed me, so excited about her new kitty litter robot. I nearly fell over at the price ($895Aud), but then most of my money goes on cancer drugs. I'm not trying to sell you one, never even knew these type of things existed. Does anyone else have anything similar? I guess if you were worried about cleaning out the litter box when on chemo or your immune system is low it might be worth a thought, or cheaper to pay someone to do it

Hi Freya!
Did a quick google and that's equivalent to €600 here. In Ireland that is the cost of a mid-to-good range washing machine or tumble dryer. Which if you think about it this kitty litter robot is similar to, except it deals in soiled kitty litter instead of dirty clothes.
Yes it certainly is expensive compared to the ordinary litter tray and scoop, but your point about people who are dealing with compromised immune systems or who might be ill or disabled is a good one, certainly could be a real life saver rather than a luxury in some situations.
I well remember being pregnant with 1st child, was HUGE in late pregnancy, and when I would get down to clean the litter trays I used to be afraid I might overbalance onto my back and be lying, limbs flailing, like an up-ended insect. (Kafka anyone?). Would have been absolutely delighted with a kitty litter robot, if not the price tag.

Hi FF, you are right, that is about what I paid for my washing machine. I'm glad my friend loves it, but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much. She has 3 cats, so I guess it will save her a bit of time. Mind you, how would you feel if you got one, and the cat turned its nose up at it LOL.
