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.

    Chronicles

    I’ve always been a writer, and it’s always made sense to me to deal with issues by writing. 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’…

  • Update on Ambush

    Vet called me back with the results of Ambush’s blood panel. He is showing early stages of kidney problems and needs to start getting fluids like Stella. He only needs them once per week instead of twice per week. He dropped three pounds since August. That is a lot of weight. 🙁 I may be…
