She continues to do quite well, despite her diagnosed renal failure.  She
now has a litter box both upstairs and downstairs and mainly uses them, but
sometimes forgets and wees on my woodpile at the side of the woodburner.

The vet thought she had a touch of kitty alzheimers at her advanced age, so
I'm not too worried that she forgets where her box is sometimes when she
feels the urge.

She is very happy - hasn't a clue that weeing on my wood is something she
would never have dreamed of doing when she was younger.  We don't mention
it.  She is eating very well, I alternate her renal diet with a chicken,
rabbit or white fish based food as she won't eat the renal diet every day.
I hope to keep her going for a long time yet.  She is pretty fine really,
but she is very old.  I keep saying that she is 20 she is older than that
now probably.
She rarely ventures outside now.  Just occasionally if the sun is out.

Boyfriend continues to bring her collared doves to eat when he can catch
them.  They are her favourite food.  If he manages to sneak into the house
with one he is fine to leave it there if Kitty is asleep.  If she is awake
she will box his ears.  It doesn't put him off at all - he continues to do
it and will take his punishment if necessary.
