Dale is out watching Toy Story III with his daughter for Father's Day. Zaphy has been hanging out on Dale's pillow all day. Even when I went out swimming. I didn't take the camera so the other Boys all came out and were photogenic. I'm about to turn the computer off because earlier Zaphy was on my lap. I'm going to have dinner and give him some gooshy food and then let him have my lap again.Kat's Katshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519016601947528061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954165841387059147.post-34490033655785446582010-06-18T17:43:51.711-05:002010-06-18T17:43:51.711-05:00Yes, he's gotten really clingy (Jennifer just ...Yes, he's gotten really clingy (Jennifer just pointed that out). I don't think it has to do with his teeth. In fact, he just finally let me get a <b>good</b> look at his teeth... surprise! He hasn't lost them! He's just not using them anymore. ::sigh:: So now comes the real quandary. He's acting like other Senior cats I've had who were ready to go rather than cats that were going, "Hey. Hey! Mom! Vet time!" And if he's <i>needing</i> vet time, I'm not sure what hat I'm going to pull the money out from.Kat's Katshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519016601947528061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954165841387059147.post-2610905292338090162010-06-18T17:00:12.738-05:002010-06-18T17:00:12.738-05:00Hope Zaphoid feels better.Hope Zaphoid feels better.Sagirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425010202801678906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954165841387059147.post-25158192123428011332010-06-18T16:00:58.473-05:002010-06-18T16:00:58.473-05:00P.S.

Nicki, last November, had 8 extractions (also 3 years old at the time) and deep pockets of infection in a couple of spots, needed a month of antibiotics. So if Zaphoid has that that too, yeah, it could be a problem. But treatable!Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954165841387059147.post-2667960801273609052010-06-18T15:56:45.681-05:002010-06-18T15:56:45.681-05:00So you are saying that Zaphoid's behaviour has...So you are saying that Zaphoid's behaviour has changed, no matter that he's lost teeth, and has given up on life? Sorry for being dense here. Derry, who's just turning 3 next week (approx.) had 9 teeth removed on June 2nd, including all his lower molars and pre-molars. And while I don't give the boys much kibble (because they are at high risk for crystals), both are happier with a bit to munch on. Derry is swallowing the kibble now without problem. So I would guess it's not a tooth problem, per se, with Zaphoid. Whatever it is, I'm certainly sending lots of healing Light and the fur kids are purring hard!Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.com
