Simon could use some purrs
Hi all
My ginger moggy Simon could use a few of your purrs at the moment. He’s 20 years old and for the past year has been on medication and having regular vet checks for chronic renal failure. The medication has really helped improve his quality of life up till now, and although he’s been steadily losing weight and muscle tone, he’s still been enjoying his three favourite things – eating, sleeping and lying in the sun. He’s not very mobile these days and can’t jump up onto the bed any more, but he knows how to ask for a lift when he wants up. This morning he hoed into his breakfast as usual, but when I checked on him before going to work, he’d thrown it all up. I’ve lost 2 cats to CRF in the past, and both times throwing up was the first sign that things were going downhill fast. I hope Simon will be feeling better tonight. I don’t want to force any invasive treatment on him at his age – he’s had a good innings – but I really don’t him to be feeling sick either. Could he have a few of your purrs? There are a few pictures of young Simon at http://au.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/....dir=/The+mogs (hope that link works for you) Thanks Helen Wheels |

How sweet he looks. I understand very well about not wanting to subject him to invasive procedures. We are purring for it to have been just a passing tummy bug, or if not, for Simon to be as comfortable as possible. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi |
