My girl cat seems to be doing pretty well. She was diagnosed with chronic renal failure a bit more than a year ago, and I've been giving her pills twice a day since. A week or so after my boy died, I woke up several times during the night hearing her puking, and she quit eating the next day; same as the boy. I thought "Fuck! Could it get any worse?!"
I gave her some leftover appetite stimulant I had from the boy, and started the pet tinic once a day. I gave that to her for a long time, but she had been eating well, and she didn't like it, so I slacked off. After a couple days of not eating, and one day of the shits, she's been doing well. She's skinnier than before, but ok. Disaster averted! I guess she just had some kind of bug.
I love that thing. She's my best friend. She's always around, if not on top of me, and if I work in the backyard, she lays on top of the chair so she can keep an eye on me. Likes bed even more than me, and sleeps on my shoulder til I dump her off, and then she curls up against me to go to sleep. I guess she has to die sometime, but (much)later's better than sooner :^)
