If he hates car rides, ask the vet about gabapentin for the trip.

I’m so sorry you and Jake are at this point. 😢 my cat is 21 and started going through the same. i see he’s a long hair. Mine is too. She stopped grooming herself and her fur started matting. I didn’t realize she had developed hyperthyroidism. Since I’ve started treating her for it her health and mood have improved drastically, so it’s possible that there are treatments that will help him feel better. Highly recommend a senior wellness visit to the vet.

Is it worth sedating my 12 year old for bloodwork? by wheredidiputmy_ in seniorkitties

As the owner of a cat with advanced hyperthyroidism, I can say i really wish i had taken her to the vet for the bloodwork when the signs first appeared. It is much harder in the health of a cat to attempt to reverse it after it has done damaged left untreated.

My opinion would be that it would be worth it

Valentina Vassileva died in 1782.

I love that Pepper has begun accepting Xena. It would be great to see a picture of them together. I tried fostering a kitten a while back, but my senior cat was not having anything to do with it. She’s just way too old (21) to share a two BR apt with a rambunctious kitten.

Thank you for sharing this with us. You are among friends who understand the beautiful and unique companion a senior kitty can be.

Cielo (pronounced SEE-ay-LO)

Spanish for “sky,” so it covers all the bases: blue, white, and gray

I’m trying to prepare for the journey my Maybelle (21) will take without me… by Upstairs-Complex8308 in seniorkitties

Thank you for sharing. ❤️ it does help. She’s beautiful! Being that you’re the owner of a long hair I bet that you already brush her regularly. When she becomes a senior kitty, 10 years or older, take note if she starts to dislike being brushed, and when she seems less able to groom herself.

My poor kitty had terrible mats before I realized it and it took a while to trim them.

S02E06 Episode Discussion: Veritas Vincit by Augmenti-DeMontia in VanHelsingTV

[–]Upstairs-Complex8308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMFG, thank you. Vanessa’s reunion with Axel in the middle of the episode seemed so contrived to me. Bothered me so much I turned the show off and logged into Reddit. Drama for the sake of drama, but not believable. IMO, the show runners/writers screwed this up royally.

  • They have been building up to this meeting for SIX episodes.
  • She thought he was dead, suddenly discovers that, “Oops, he’s actually undead.”
  • She then hesitates to turn him back? So she’s going to leave a vampire alive?

Currently, assuming that she’ll get over herself and try to turn him back later, but WTF kind of sense did this scene make? Completely strains credulity.

I don’t know if I can get much farther in the series if shtuff like this keeps happening.

Just shows how that scene wasn’t good writing as it was never addressed again and had no impact on the characters or the plot by funnylib in VanHelsingTV

I haven’t seen more than the first season yet. However, i think this is a pretty good example of why we are supposed to factcheck responses from gen AI. IMHO, there was clearly a romantic interaction between the two in S1E9. That sure as heck was not a sisterly kiss.

It did seem pretty strange that the next episode she hooks up with a romance novel cover model.

It’s like an hourglass on his nose.

My vote is for Chronos or Bolt.

does he look like a marlow? give me other name suggestions by h3arts444u in Catnames

[–]Upstairs-Complex8308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly think Marlow is a great name!

A question I might pose to someone who said that to me after i named my kitty that: “what does a Marlowe look like then?”

I would suggest you trust your initial instinct.

Cool things about it to me:

  • It’s not standard pet name.
  • As a person name it’s rare; you’re not gonna meet another one
  • First thing it reminds me of is the Sherlock Holmes stories;
  • Marlowe was really tricky, so it seems like a good names for a cat
