The topic: Bobby

----------------------------------------------

I don’t like how thin he is. He’s been thin since he moved in and I thought maybe it was because he didn’t have the best diet at mom’s.  But he’s not putting on weight here and although I see him nibbling at the feeder on occasion, he’s not a big eater, not like I’d expect a healthy cat to be. 

This morning, I got two bowls of Friskies dished up for the out fronts and Bobby was in the kitchen crying while they were in the microwave getting heated.  I thought I’d see how Bobby reacted.  To one, he wasn’t interested, in the other, he was.   But he lapped at the food, he didn’t bite at it.  It took him a while, but he finished over half of one of the bowls.  I’m wondering if there’s not something going on with his teeth.  I did notice some tartar on one of them when I peeked in.

So, I made an appointment for him Monday afternoon.

Cross your fingers all is alright with him.



Sounds like the right symptoms, ironic that your Mom’s cat isn’t eating and is having teeth problems.  Last Friday my mom, who lives with me, took her cat Scruffy to get teeth cleaned and a couple teeth pulled.  When Scruffy came home, my cat Tarvi was freaked out.  Tarvi is terrified of the vet’s office, and it has taken a week for the vet smell to leave Scruffy enough for Tarvi to behave ‘normal’ again.  Tarvi (9 lbs) and Scruffy (15.5 lbs) are evenly matched wrestling buddies, so it has been strange to not see them spend time together.
Bobby will definately be in my thoughts Monday.

Just after we moved, I noticed how thin our Rani was getting so I went out and got her some Nutri-Cal gel. It’s made by Tomlyn. That, along with some brown rice and salmon food and she’s putting the weight on again. I’ve backed way off on the Nutri-Cal and she’s doing real good.

It sounds like maybe Bobby might have a bad tooth or two? The gel might help put some weight back on him. In any case we’re sending Bobby and all of you some good healing thoughts!
