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.

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.

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

I first read it that way too.

Thank you for your service!

Gawd, between your story and the OP I’m just an emotional wreck right now. 😭😭 I have a 20yo cat and it breaks my heart so much to think of him in a shelter with nobody to hold him. Thank you for giving love to these old kitties.

When I first started seeing Tesla cars on the road, I would think, “Must be nice. I can’t wait for the price of Teslas to go down.”

Now when I see them, I wonder if the driver regrets owning one.

Guy who owned the company I used to work for owned one when it was considered prestigious, and last year traded it in for a Genesis.

Here’s to many more happy years with you.

Yay! Hi, Murphy and Parsley! What an adorable pair. How old is Parsley?

I use boost and for me it’s just like sharing an image when texting.

We used to joke that his first name is Goddammit because he was always the most mischievous of the 3 cats, always the one stirring shit up.

Now he’s the only one still living and he’s so old we let him get away with almost everything.

Which is a crazy coincidence btw! Please pay the Murphy tax. :)

That’s it! Apparently it’s on sale right now too, which it wasn’t when I got it. We had that thing for like a year before we finally assembled it.

We are guessing our Murphy is 20 too. We adopted him in May 2005 and this is what he looked like:

Wow, it’s on sale right now too.

When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”

Your comment is super helpful. Thanks so much. I will definitely look into all of this stuff and see what’s available on Chewy. Murphy is already on wet-only, with only dry as a “treat” after giving his meds when unable to give it at mealtime.

Haha, will do. His Highness is napping right now.
