She's been living with mom for the last few months and has
been on a diet (since she was overweight).. But for the last
two months or so, we knew she had dropped a lot of weight so
we've pretty much been feeding her everything she wants,
chicken, steak, lamb chops, salmon, well, essentially
anything we've been eating. She loves it all.

And she's always hungry. I should have realized what was
going on. Last week she pooped on the rug, pretty runny, and
very unusual. So off we went to the vet and it turns out that
she's hyperthyroid. So she's on medication now. She's 13 and
we don't want to do surgery or radiation, so we'll try the
meds for a while and see how it works.

One more odd thing. She apparently peed outside of her
litterbox. because there is a wet spot on the carpet. She's
still using the litterbox a lot, but that spot doesn't seem
to dry off. I'll get some nature's miracle and see if that
helps.


I'm sorry to hear she's having problems. I hope the meds help.

I'm sorry to hear it, too. I'm sure the meds will help. At
least Marlo isn't allergic to the medication like Persia was.
The radioactive isotope treatment was really the only option for
her.

And mom is worried that we're all going away in August and that
Marlo will be alone for a week. Someone will feed her of course,
but mom is worried anyway. So am I of course. I'll be way for two
weeks at the end of June so of couse I worry about the cats.

I guess that you've all read the Onion article:

Well, that article raised my blood pressure by a few points. What
bosh! Of course our cats miss us. I don't think they grieve the
way dogs do, but they definitely miss us.

You do know the Onion is a site that posts fake tounge in cheek stuff
to make fun and shock folks right?
