    Lethargic and jittery

    My sweet Dani is lethargic and jittery today. I don't know why, unless her thyroid meds are adjusting.... I just get worried. Is this sometimes normal behavior for cats? I mean, to just have some days where they are off? Get into moods like humans?

    Dani not eating much

    Dani is on Tapazole. She has lately not been eating her wet food, which she used to love. Also, she hardly eats the dry. I know her metabolism is fluctuating, and I wonder if it is normalizing, and she does not need as much food as she used to, and this is normal. She is still pooping. I...

    My Danielle today seems scared of everything. This morning she was pacing, stalking the apartment. Anytime we would try to touch her, she clearly skulked out from under our touch. I even tried to brush her, which sheLOVES but she didn't want it. Then she napped, and now she still seems...

    Change of food for senior cats?

    Hi guys We thought Danielle was 5 years old. (so said the shelter). The Vet believes she is at least 12, (OY) or there abouts, because of the condition of her mouth. I asked him if we should change her food to the Senior kind, and he said it really didn't make much of a difference. He...
