Alfie the slowly dying cat
« on: 30 November, 2011, 01:00:08 am »
Has just managed to climb up here. The printer is on, so it is warm.



Dying? Well, he is going on 18 and has has failed kidneys for 2 years. He's been deaf for over 2 years and lost his voice 4 months ago. He's just survived a nasty infection that left him 2/3rds of his 'healthy' weight. Stopped eating and shat and peed everywhere. After a lot of gunge and pills from the vets he perked up a bit.

Now he is eating like a shetland pony and only peeing everywhere. Such are small mercies.
It is simpler than it looks.

Aaah, small mercies.  Like a nice warm printer, eh?

Poor old Alfiecat, I almost feel like I know him.  He's still a handsome chap.

Has he lost his purr as well as his voice?

I feel your pain, Jaded. Gentle hugs from Mojo & Pippin (17 & getting there too).
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.
