Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006Spooky is getting old
I took Spooky to the vet today (an intestinal parasite problem) and was informed that he has lost weight and teeth, and has a heart problem. I think he's 14, the vet thought he was 5 when I first brought him in for neutering, 13 years ago. I suspect he will be the second of the three pre-move cats to go to the Rainbow Bridge. Fluffy, the third, is definitely 14, but she still looks and acts middle aged.  SignatureT.E.D. (tdavis@gearbox.maem.umr.edu) Purrs that Spooky has a nice, comfortable life until it's his time to cross over to the bridge - whenever that may be.

I'm sorry to hear this Ted. May he be happy and comfortable for such a long time that it surprises the vet! Charleen Mr. Pumpkin 15 y.o. Aggie Marble 14 y.o.

Sending Spooky purrs -- lots of them. Best wishes. MLB Many purrs for Spooky to be with you for quite a while yet!

Ted: Purrs for Spooky to merely have an intestinal parasite problem and some teeth problems. My little dog Sampson was diagnosed with congestive heart failure at age 13 and he lived another 5 with a good diet and much love. Purrs for you and Spooky and I love your photos of your other cats with him all piled together.

Purrs for Spooky on the way. SignatureSam, closely supervised by Mistletoe Here's purring and praying that Spooky lives another 14 years and in good health.

Awww. Poor Spooky. I hope he is not feeling too bad :( > I took Spooky to the vet today (an intestinal parasite problem) and > was informed that he has lost weight and teeth, and has a heart [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Fluffy, the third, is definitely 14, but she still looks and acts > middle aged. >I took Spooky to the vet today (an intestinal parasite problem) and > was informed that he has lost weight and teeth, and has a heart [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Fluffy, the third, is definitely 14, but she still looks and acts > middle aged. Lots of purrs and well wishes for Spooky to confound the experts and live a long time. Miss Tanada, our Grouchy Old Womancat will be 14 this fall. She's had her ups and downs lately, but is still going strong. .

Ted, I'm so sorry to hear this. You never know, though. Our Internet is 17 this month (our and others' guesses, since we don't really know), has asthma, an enlarged heart, and no teeth, but he is still with us. Purrs that Spooky is better than you are afraid and will be with you for a good long while yet, and Fluffy, too.

He won't touch the pills if crushed up and mixed with tuna or canned cat food, so that means a nightly struggle to force them down him - this is more stress and struggle than anything else in his life right now, and he's a very nervous cat to begin with.

I'm hoping that with luck, he'll do his best to get totally well so that he can get back at you by peeing in your shoes.

He has never done anything like that - throwing up on the bed, yes he does do that. I got the pills down him with less struggle last night: I found that if I hold him up, the pills go down easily ... once I get them into the back of his mouth. It's still hard on him though. He's going to get hard to catch in another couple of days. Harder to catch. SignatureT.E.D.

Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes that Spooky stays with you for a long time still and that his health problems bother him as little as possible, Polonca and Soncek Sorry about Spooky, purrs that he's better soon.
