Hi, I'm sorry to read that your Kaylaya is having all this issues. Yes, typically the weight loss is si sign of hyperthyroidism, but also the senior age and the kidney failure lead to weight loss. Anyway, the blood work shows a high level of T4. I understand that you want to follow the path of...

It seems strange to me that someone called you to tell you about this slightly elevated Potassium level in your cat's blood and didn't tell you more about it, the possible consequences and what you can do now. One of my cat had slightly low Potassium level in her blood while she was on...

The tortie one is really cute, I love torties! Drop traps are expensive. I looked for one myself some years ago, and had to give up due to the cost.

To me, that blood work looks fine. Having a brief check of the mouth might not rule out any underlying issue. I'm telling you from direct experience.

A dental issue might be invisible if the vet only look at the teeth. The problem might be below the gum line. To see something under the gum line, a vet need to take an X-ray of the mouth and teeth, but they need a dedicated machine to go in the cat's mouth. This is what a teeth X-ray may look...

Did your vet investigate your cat's gall bladder, if he doesn't have an obstruction? That TBIL is weird, looks like my cat's levels when she had an issue with her bile duct. Did you vet run an US scan to her gall bladder and bile duct? My cat starting eating less, but I think she was feeling...

I have TRN'd at least 40 cats in my life, and I also re-trapped cats who needed vet attentions. No matter what the reason for trapping a cat is, everytime I do that I get stressed out to the limits. I had to fix a whole colony of feral cats a few years back, and I would trap a cat a day. What I...

Happy Birthday my sweet Lola, the sweetest cat ever, happy birthday even if I can't celebrate it with you, but you know you are always in my heart and mind, always! You would have been 24 years old today, and I know, I am sure that you would have lived to be this old if it weren't for that nasty...

I fully understand you, I really do. My younger cat had something that looked like a seizure in March 2021. It all began with her laying peacefully on my lap when I was watching the TV, then she slowly moved to the small table next to the sofa, she sat there for a couple of second, then she...

Using something like a container or a stick tied to a long string to prop the trap door open is fine too. The remote control, though, allows you to be a little farther away from the trap, even inside your home behind the window, or in your car when away from home.

I know the frustration of not catching the last feral in the colony or the most resistant cat in the colony. I had to face both situations. Years back I couldn't catch a young female cat, and I feared she could give birth to a litter of kittens before I was able to trap her, then, eventually, I...

Surely he hears you coming up the stairs, they can hear much more and better than we can. The cat in my avatar could hear me coming from far, both when I was driving and when I was walking, and would jump in the window to greet me. In doubt, can you leave a voice recorder in the apartment when...

This is the most touching poem that I had read ever. There was a time when I knew it by heart, and I would say it in my mind a couple of times a day. The very first time I read it was in a graveyard in Killorglin, county Kerry, Ireland, during one of my several trips to the Emerald Isle. I...

I don't how the weather in your area is like. But if it's cold, and the kitten has stayed out in the cold, give him a warm spot, or put him under a blanket with warmth source, like a bottle with warm water in.

I'm so sorry for your beautiful Autumn, such a beautiful name too. I hope she didn't suffer much and that her passing was easy. She won't forget you, the love that you gave her, the good times you had together. Now she's with Domino again, away from your eyes, but not from your heart, and surely...
