Took Our Cats to the Vet Yesterday


Hercules giving his cat Bella a pill

They are both getting up in age, and our 15 year old void cat Meatball/Mousetrap has experienced some weight loss, so we were concerned.

Thankfully, it was "just" hyperthyroid, which is better than the alternatives, (diabetes, cancer, FIP, etc.) but we have to give her a pill twice a day.

She is about as cooperative as one can expect from a ferocious predator under such circumstances.

Meanwhile, our large (17 lb, probably a Maine Coon mix) 12 year old gray and white longhair, needed some matting addressed, and the doctor heard a slight heart murmur, so we are going to a veterinary cardiologist shortly.

We need to brush him more frequently. 

In terms of overall fitness and affect, both seem to be fine. 

I am not sure if the cats have forgiven for taking them to the vet, or if they are biding their time planning revenge.

It's probably the latter.
