Onyx is not well...

Onyx's Grandmeowmie called me the other day to talk about a recent visit
to TED by Onyx. Now, he's not acutely ill or dying, per se, but his
body IS starting to "wind down", so to speak. His liver panel came back
SKY HIGH (I think his Grandmeowmie told me his numbers were around
thirteen, when normally, the numbers are between .4 and 2[???]), which
is indicative of a thyroid problem, which makes a LOT of sense, given
how much weight he's lost over the last two years. He's ALWAYS hungry
now, but he never has sustained his weight as of late. The bloodwork
also indicated some potential problems with his kidneys, too. He has
also developed a heart murmur since the last time he was at TED.

I just thought you might like to know what's going on. He's still
active, but you have to remember that he DID just turn 15 years old last
month. TED said to Onyx's Grandmeowmie that that's around 90 human
years old, so you can, I hope, see why he's starting to slow down even
more than before.

Hope Onyx winds down very, very slowly with no uncomfortable problems.
Ralph will be 15 in April but his major problem is that he can't seem
to lose weight, even when I starve him (that's starving according to
Ralph but just the right amount according to TED). I'd like to see
them both become ECs.

Is VEC 15 or 20 years old? I think it went something like this...

DOC = 10 years old VEC/SOC = 15 years old VEC/SOC = 20 years old.

DOC = Distinguished Older Cat
VEC = Venerable Esteemed Cat
SOC = Sophisticated Older Cat

At any rate, Onyx won't make it to 20 years old. As much as we'd want
him to, we all pretty much know that already, and have known that for
the last couple of years. I haven't seen him since the last time I went
up north to my folks' house, which was quite a while ago, but the way my
mom talks about him, she makes him out to be skin and bones these days.

Heer, Onyx, haf sum uv diz fud I haz hidden aweigh. Itz garanteed tu
