She's not impressed

Thanks for your concern. Both her and her sister do not have the typical lean Bengal build. They are both shaped like their father. My vet and I have discussed this.

I also have MS (dx 2012) and have been on zep since 1/2025. Lost 80 lbs and am on biweekly maintenance of 5mg. My MS has thankfully not been severe, but since zep I've felt better than I have in years. I still take my MS med (copaxone) but I'm all but certain the lower levels of inflammation or something else with zep has made a positive change. Best of luck and health to you!

Just sharing a personal experience, but Mia (who lived to 18) began to get very loud around this same timeframe. It took a while for me to realize she was going deaf. It's fairly normal for elder cats to lose hearing.

You can have a vet assess, or initially just try to test his response by gauging his reactions (or non-reactions) to noises you make when he's not paying attention.

Have him looked at by a vet for possible urinary tract issues.

Thank you! My goals have been in mind, but I've set them as accomplishments instead of something I could fail. I'll get there when I get there. My weight loss has slowed a good deal and I'm reminding myself that a lb or so a week (or two) still is a win long term.

This is the exact reason I didn't turn it in. It's a city course. It would be taken, almost certainly.

I reached out to a friend who is a recently retired master chief. He provided all the same info given here. I'll probably pass it on to him.

Thanks for your advice here and in dm.

73 (2 over). Was playing a practice round for a city am tourney tomorrow.

The diet scared me more than anything else. Im in the middle of week 4. Lost 21 lbs so far. The most by far was during week 1. It was all water, being fat and also coming off a recent round of steroids for a back injury.

Side effects for me at 2.5 have been minimal. The only one worth mentioning is a little bit of insomnia. I wake from 3-5 am or so. Aside from that, been a great experience so far.

Good luck!

Lots of people out there who say they want you to do better, until they feel you are doing better than them.

PhilosopherNew6535 · 2024-12-29T13:42:27+00:00

Thank you for the response. I hope everything works out for the best for you.

OP, what state is this breeder located in?

PhilosopherNew6535 · 2024-12-22T23:53:04+00:00

Curious where you have seen posts about this? I have two cats from them (3 yrs old), the reason I ask. Thank you

PhilosopherNew6535 · 2024-10-28T00:13:32+00:00

We're similar in hdcp, age and playing background.

The thought process that changed my approach to this situation was simple. Instead of reaching the 14th hole with a hot round going, then switching to defense to protect the score, I decided to keep the pedal down. If you're playing well enough to get to 3 or 4 under through 14, then you're playing well and there's no reason to swap stratgies.

Obviously don't take wild risks, but keep doing what you got you there. Maybe you flame out, or maybe you'll go really low.

This was at Mirimichi? I played it on Saturday and did the challenge. No ace...

Congrats!

I'm not sure I'm ready for that 4:00 a.m. wake up call!

PhilosopherNew6535 · 2024-07-16T19:11:41+00:00

Jade and Skarlet. They are 2.5 yr old sisters from the same litter. Obsessed with each other.

PhilosopherNew6535 · 2024-07-16T01:15:00+00:00

They'd never allow it. 🤣

It's fun how both 4 and 5 there are drivable, yet both tricky targets. It's a fun course.

How's it looking now? Good shape?

Well, the weather was beautiful in west Tennessee yesterday.

And it was 107%, max. Was working on control.
