A Note About Ocean the Wiggle Cat

Well, Ocean hasn't been doing so well the past couple weeks.

She's been getting thinner, and she hasn't been able to jump onto the sofa where she likes to rest half the time. I took her to the vet, where they noted she's lost 5 pounds since her last weigh-in this December.

Her bloodwork came back okay, but her urine showed a UTI, so I'm giving her antibiotics for that.

She came to me back on Halloween night 2013 and when I brought her in she was this tiny thing. She got big in a hurry - and then had six kittehs - and she'd been this active wiggly cat ever since.

But that's 12 years ago, and she was at least six months, maybe a year old when she showed at the base of the apartment steps. She's already in the 'senior' category for cats, and I'm worried this is not a good turn for her.

May have to take her in for x-rays to make sure it's not cancer - the thing that took Tehya, poor kitteh - or anything just as serious.

Pray for my mama cat, please.
