Randomness wherein I yammer on about my cat...

Nov 25, 2008 23:41

So I love all three of my fur-babies very much. My yellow tabby (Azura) is my very first pet (that's not a whole family animal) the Hubby bought him for me for my birthday 6 years ago. So yes he is 'My Baby'. He doesn't react well to change or stressful situations (moves and whatnot). When we moved back to PA from NE he stopped eating lost a quarter of his body mass and his organs started failing. We got him fixed up and back to 100% (a feeding tube and meds that dr.s prescribe to cancer patients to increase their appetite and decrease nausea). And for 4 years now he's been ok. Even moving from our apartment to our house 3 years ago wasn't a problem; because we didn't leave him for any stretch of time and it was a short move (not 1200 miles). But recently I've noticed that he's not eating as much and he seems to be getting thinner again. Also as he falls asleep if he's sitting too close to the edge of the desk/chair/perch he is on he'll fall off and land in an undignified heap. He also does this thing where when he's really asleep his head will just drop and he's knocked it pretty hard on the surface he's on. He has also started being really territorial about me and Hubby in regards to our other 2 cats (growling and hissing if they get more attention then he does). I'm hoping this is just a phase he's going through and he'll get over it soon (I've taken to keeping him in the computer room with me most of the day with his own food and water supply and he's been eating from it very well...)

He's just so young relatively speaking (6 'human years), and I don't have the money to take him to the vet (also that's a traumatic experience for him he went practically feral last time we had him to one clawing, hissing, and snapping it wasn't pretty). So I'm just really worried about him and needed to ramble about it.

I ♥ U all very much.

blah blah blah, random, pets
