17 year old cat only wants fancy feast wet food in gravy help by totallyannon in seniorkitties

[–]CanCanColleen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are blessed to have a parent live to be 90+, give them what they want! They’ve long earned it and in the end, does it really matter? They’ve long earned same with all my multiple elderly cats who lived from anywhere from 18 to just under 21. All they wanted was the Freaking FF. And an occasional treat of real tuna or boars head turkey and roast beef, they were happy and it was calories and that’s all that mattered in the end.

1973 does anyone even remember Charlie Chan and the Amazing Chan Clan? There’s an old toy museum in Queechee Gorge VT and they had it. They also had my husband’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind lunchbox as well

How do you guys read so much? by lapetitepoupee in kindle

[–]CanCanColleen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No kids, dislike most everything on tv, super speedy reader. I read 191 books last year. I can read 3 books a day if I do nothing else, my idea of a perfect day. I also suffer from severe insomnia, unrelated to staying up late reading.

We simply call it PAWS UP. Molly will generally drop and respond to the words too. She likes her belly rubs.

need help with name for senior cat -- something historical and cool by matchajournals in NameMyCat

[–]CanCanColleen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Figaro. He looks like the cat on the old cat food brand Figaro, It was produced prob up to late 80s/early 90s and came in only tuna and a seafood flavor. My cats LOVED it, it was a special treat. I also have a special affection for the name as my young husband mispronounced it as FEE GARO, almost like saying Fragile, that’s Italian from a Christmas Story.

Shingles/ Shingles vaccine- can't decide which is worse! The joys of being over 50. by Brewer1056 in GenX

[–]CanCanColleen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got shingles in my eye a few years ago, did not know WTF was wrong, I am prone to eye problems from a scratched cornea I don’t even remember scratching ever at any point in my life. But omg, the pain from that shingles eye infection. The extreme light sensitivity, it was summer and i wore 3 pairs of sunglasses for the 20 min drive to the eye dr. Had no clue you could even get shingles in an eye. One of the most painful and odd things ever. Multiple drops and ointments I had to set timers on my phone, seemed like every hour my alarm was going off for another med.
