Cats like her will live forever
That's what my vet said about my testy Tigger a few years ago right after
she hissed at him. I just got the call from the vet to report on how her dental cleaning went. They are amazed. They said they've never seen a cat her age with such good teeth. No cavities, no gum problems except a little gingivitis around the couple of teeth that had plaque build up. She came out of anesthesia kicking and hissing (her normal behavior up there). They got a urine sample (I had no luck at home doing that) so we'll see how that comes back. If that is clear I'm seriously considering talking to the vet who does acupuncture again and seeing if maybe she can't knock her out to do it. I can't see having a healthy cat who does nothing but sleep her life away and can barely make it up onto the couch any more. Heck she's *only* 17. W |
