So, Tiger A.K.A "Grandma Stinky" has gotten very very old and has over the last couple of years lost a lot of weight. I think the vet said she is between 16-18 years old which is almost 100 in human years...she's just old. We took her to the vet last year and all he said was she had a urinary tract infection, gave us some pills and sent us on our way.Then within the last couple of weeks she has started meowing and meowing and meowing and meowing like crazy and it's driving me crazy and I didn't know what was her frickin' problem! I almost put her on the doorstep until she stopped crying like Jane does with the kids but I changed my mind. :)
I called the vet and they actually come out to your house for those "Difficult animals" which Grandma Stinky falls into that category and do the exam there which is very convenient and worth the extra cost. So this Doc said some really scary things about Tiger and what she might have...she was saying things like colon cancer, liver cancer etc which is so sad my poor baby Tiger but she said she would have to wait till she got the results back.
She calls and says everything is great! No cancer no problems really. There are still some minor issues she has Inflammatory Bowel Disease which is very treatable so all I have to do is put her on a new prescription cat food and a pill once a day. Not bad I can handle that. Grandma Stinky should be lookin' good or as good as she can look for 100 years old here soon. To any of you who care about Tiger, Mom I know you really really miss her.
It was sort of funny the Doc also had some things to say about Snax A.K.A Fat cat. She said that she is probably on her way to being Diabetic...I had a hard day when she came over I had a cat with cancer and one with diabetes what a day. So starting next week Fat Cat has to be on a new diet. Ey ey ey ey ey cats! But to anyone who loves their animals get them checked out and on good food and as Bob Barker always says "Don't forget to spay and neuter your pets."

I guess I don't see a problem with these pictures...Diabetes, silly Doctor ;)
And as for Roxy she is just as content as can be sleeping in really uncomfortable positions and getting into the mail box drop in the wall :)

Tiger looks so 'wispy' in this pic--too cute! Love the ice cream shot. lol
Oh, baby tiger. What a weird cat she is. I remember picking her up from the lady we bought her from. She was the last of the litter and cried and cried when we left. It was so sad! Love you Grandma Stinky!
You cat people are a breed unto yourselves. I am happy to hear that all the cats are doing well and eating more healthy. Elizabeth, it's fun to see you blogging. I too felt the "Katy blogging pressure" so I started a blog and now I have 3 blogs...mine, Sam's school & our Young Women. What have I done!
