Gizzy


I thought Gizzy was feeling better. But he's down to 8 pounds, and he hasn't been eating. He barely nibbles at his food. He drinks some. If Mom hands out treats, he goes for them, he chews, but they sorta fall out of his mouth, and he doesn't try another one. He only wants to sleep and be left alone. He used to know exactly when dinnertime is, but lately, he hasn't been showing up.

Mom took him outside today on his harness, and he walked around and around the yard, but he didn't even try to eat any grass. He doesn't even wash his face any more after he eats. And he's kinda stinky and has dingleberries hanging from his butt.

I don't understand. Cats do four things. We eat, we wash ourselves, we play and we sleep. Gizzy only wants to sleep. I don't get it.

It sounds like Gizzy isn't feeling good again. I hope he gets to feeling better again soon. I was so hoping that the hairball was the problem and that he was just having good days and bad days the last time he didn't seem to feel well. He may snap out of it, like he did last time. If not, I wish him a safe journey, without pain.

Jason said...

Millie, have you asked your mom to as the vet about his teeth? Maybe he has imploding teeth. One of our cats had this problem. He was cranky and wasn't eating, and we found it was his teeth. We had 6 teeth removed (2 were already being absorbed in his gums) and after about a week or so, he was back to his old self.

We're thinking of you, Gizzy!!

Because I am new to your blog and don't know your history, it sounds like your teeth are the problem. But as I said, I don't know your history. I really hope you feel better soon. My Mommy always worries about other kitties as much as she worries about me. We're sending you purrs and prayers and hope you feel better real soon!
Love your friend, Oscat the Puppy cat!
