My prayers are with you and your kitty. May I ask what breed she is? Is she an oriental breed? Twenty four is extreme old age! You must have taken very good care of her.

How are her kidneys? Is she getting IV fluid treatments daily? Is she hyperthyroid? How is her attitude? Is she cranky?

She is a basic tabby (probably why she lived so long).

One Kidney has been gone for a while. The other seems to be OK.

She is hyperthyroid and that is the problem. We can't increase the medication, but there is a possibility the current regime will start working OK again. But if i doesn't, that is pretty much it.

She is demanding but not cranky. She eats well, so we will be watching closely.

Thanks for stopping by.

You really know your old cats!
