Basette, another update

Basette, the little black wonder cat

Basette’s condition hasn’t changed much. She is still primarily staying in the kitchen. She’s developed the sniffles (clear discharge). I’ll ask the vet about that tomorrow.

She’s continuing to have trouble with motor coordination on her back legs. She doesn’t seem to be in pain (slight discomfort from her back legs possibly). When she was walking around the kitchen today, she kept thwapping her tail on the floor. She places her back feet very carefully. Must be annoying for the once-most-vicious cat to feel unsteady.

She is so tiny now, and she looks so old. Only a few months ago she looked half her age, and now, I have this sinking feeilng she won’t be around much longer.

I’m so afraid some days that she’ll be curled up on her pillows as if asleep… except she won’t wake. I’ve started checking on her periodically during the night.

Maybe there will be something that will help.

I was reading through old posts on here and discovered just how much I’ve captured of Isis’ saga on this blog. Same with Basette and Ambush, my old kitties. A friend here at work suggested pulling Isis’…

  • Tentative good news

    Here is some good news, at least! Basette went back to the vet’s this morning. Her glucose levels were still high this morning and afternoon. However, after she recieved her insulin, her glucose levels plummeted from over 500 down to almost half that!! Woohoo! If Basette was here, I’d party. The vet was esctatic. I…

  • Stella. Again. Sigh.

    Last night, Stella did not look good. When we were going to bed, she tried to stand up to position her self next to me. Her rear end didn’t cooperate and she flopped over. She hadn’t eaten much that night and it was definitely showing. Poor kitten. The vet said that ideally Stella should be…
