Mes thought it was time mes said hellos to all my friends, so mes bugged the Mom until hers agreed to help mes put a post up heres.
The Mom took mes to the vet last week since mes hasn't been eating very well for a whiles. Theys had to stick mes on that metal scale, of course. Mes weighed in at 10 and a half pounds - the Mom says mes has maintained my weight because D feeds mes lots of treats, MOL!
Then Dr. M came to look at mes. Hers felt my tummy, and mes was a patient kitty. Then Dr. M nearly gave the Mom a heart attack and said hers didn't know if hers felt stool in there or "something else," so hers was taking mes to the back for another vet to see.
Dr. M picked mes up and covered mes up with my towel and said, "Don't worry, you is invisible. Nobody can see yous." But if nobody could see mes, then how did HERS find mes to pick mes up?
Dr. M said the other vet who looked at mes isn't very gentle, and mes did not react so hers doesn't think my tummy hurts. Hers said maybe mes just likes to graze. The Mom isn't so sure about that theory, though, since mes eats decently when mes feels well. One of our friends said maybe mes doesn't want to eat much because it is hot. That would make more sense, says the Mom, because it is very hot in our apartment. Hers will continue with the Cerenia and see if mes starts eating more when it gets a bit cooler.
Mes is not due back at the vet until November nows, the Mom says!
What has yous all been up tos? Tell mes in the comments - wes misses yous!
Awwwww Carmine, we hope mew feel real better furry soon!!!

I think the heat could definitely have something to do with it. Through the years my cats have always eaten less in the summer. So glad you just had a little extra poop in there, Carmine ;)
ReplyDeleteCarmine, I'll share with you the trick that we use to get the kitties to eat more: nutritional yeast! Yep, it sorta looks and smells like Parmesan Cheese, but it's not dairy. Angel and Chuck LOVE when I put some on top of their wet food. Have your momma look up 'nutritional yeast' to make sure it's okay for you! You are a handsome ginger mancat, Carmine!
ReplyDeleteNobody wants to eat much when it's terribly hot! So we understand! Hope you feel good enough to pig out soon!
ReplyDeleteHoping for cooler weather and for you to feel better Carmine
ReplyDeleteThat is true, cats do not eat well in the hot weather. At least all the ones here don't eat as much. Carmine, hope you feel better soon.

We hope you better soon, Carmine. That you had to be handled by two vets in one visit is an outrage!!!
ReplyDeleteCarmine, we don't eat much when it's hot, either. In fact last week, it was hot and the mom didn't turn the air conditioning on...she can be cheap sometimes...and I wasn't eating much for a couple of days. She got worried, not thinking that it was because of the heat...and since Ernie had to go to the vet because of his allergies, she made an appt for me too. But I checked out fine. Now she thinks I wasn't eating because it was so hot...because now that the air has been turned on, I'm eating just fine. ~Wally
ReplyDeleteCarmine, we are glad that it was just a stool! We eat a little less when it's hot, too, so we hope that's why your appetite is off. Hugs to you, Lita and Mom!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the vet - we eat less when it's hot here too. And we are all pigs (so says my human - heh!).
