Just wanted to give you an update. I tried a couple of things (paste, drops) to see if adding those to his current food would entice him to eat. Nothing worked. But he absolutely loves the Weruva steak frites and scarfs it down every time. He is now back to eating his original prescription food in the morning and the steak frites in the evening. Thanks so much for all your input.

My brother has tinnitus and sometimes doesn’t realize his voice is really loud.

Murphy is around 20 years old at this point with chronic kidney disease and a balance problem that we have to give him a daily pill for for the rest of his life. He is definitely deaf because we’ve tried waking him up with loud noises. 😆

We thought the end was nearing because his appetite greatly decreased, but after trying different things we finally found a food he will scarf down that isn’t bad for his kidneys.

He seems back to his normal self again these days. Who knows how long he’ll live yet? We’ve heard some cats live past 30.

However many more days he has left with us, we intend to fill them with love, pets, and cuddles.

Our one remaining cat is deaf so we have to hold food/treats near his nose until the smell wakes him up.

As someone who works retail, I’m pretty shameless when it comes to kicking people out. I do it politely and with a smile but I have no problem telling customers we’re about to close or are closed.

Definitely this, and make sure you also play the community modules when you’ve finished the campaign.

Thanks. I don’t have a prostate but incontinence is more common in women. At the first sign of a leakage problem, you bet I’m heading to the doctor right away.

Getting up to pee 2x a night

I hate that too but I’m just glad I still have enough bladder control to actually wake up for it. I dread possibly losing that someday.

Thank you for your service!

I haven’t seen that since I was a kid, but I still remember this part: “Eleven! Your dragon fire melts my eyes.”

I might not even have the quote right but that’s what kid-me remembers.

I am bleeding, making me the victor!

That ALAB sounds right up my alley, thanks.

You are an amazing cat parent. 🥹

Wow, I’m so glad you didn’t live far and you got her out. Did you just have to call to her to get her down from there or did you have to climb up?

First car was a pre-owned white '91 Ford Escort GT that I named Gypsy Jo. She was my traveling companion and served me well until some uninsured bitch rear-ended me.

Second car was Moonshadow, a brand-new blue '99 Honda Civic Si. He saw me through a bad breakup and we had many adventures together. I sold him to a car enthusiast in 2016 for $6500.

Current car is a pre-owned black 2011 Subaru Impreza Outback named Ira. He saw me safely on a long 14-hour drive when I recently moved.

Then Polly was very lucky you happened to be visiting that day. It could’ve been so bad for her.

Ooh, that might be it. Thanks!

Such a fitting name. 😆

Thank you for sharing all the pictures. I love the different names and your write-ups. Jethro seems like such a character. We always imagined our Murphy to be a rough-houser like that, but we never had a dog and our other two cats wouldn’t it.

Murphy’s “scream”:

I have never been in a store with a cat but would totally be a frequent customer if I ever found one.
