Cleo & Oscar - my cats.Well Oscar is now drinking water from the bath tap  he sits in the bath and drinks the running water, he is drinking more; but he's happy, and not in any pain or discomfort. And even though its been 6 weeks since his last steriod jab having no problem with his arthritis  and able to jump on the bed/sofa. Sleeping more but so is Cleo down to age I know, and the vet says they won't operate on the cyst.Sometimes I wish I could turn back the clock; you don't notice they are getting slower, thinner, older until someone comments.  Then it hits you like a ton of bricks.Actually it was a poem in my Mom's People's Friend that made me melancholy and happy at the same time today, it reminded me of Christmas's in their younger days. Memories of - the two crazy kittens who climbed every curtain and Christmas tree and loved life - the two middleaged cats who climbed the outside trees and the inside wardrobes and loved life, and now the two elderly cats who climb on my bed and love life. So can I just say to all of those with cats both young and not so young please don't scold your cat for climbing the tree, for the time will come (I promise just when you least expect it) you'll sit here wishing just wishing they had the energy to climb your tree once more time. The poem is following. Karen

Kazz, you sound a bit sad about your cats' longevity. You should celebrate!I understand 'where you are coming from' though. It's a shame we can't flick a switch and stop time for them! |

Nah, DM I couldn't be sad about that and I am not sure I would want to stop time, the thought is good but the reality? I should look on the bright side - like at least now I don't have to climb the tree's to rescue them Never been good up tree's and they know it.Hence why they always climbed the highest tree. |

I agree with all you have said Kazz...What I'd give to see Lucky climbing the Christmas tree and playing with the baubles just one last time, go out hunting and bring me one of her once so famous pressies or run around roughing and tumbling with her feline friends |

Scary isn't it - yet lovely that they have stayed with us so long I mean cats are capable of moving on when they are unhappy - I imagine ours are happy. |
