Re: rough time
Jasper is asleep on the mat that's next to my bed, and Mr A is on the blanket on the bed. They are both sound asleep.
Jasper wasn't very well yesterday. He was not eating, making all sorts of weird meows. He seems a little better today, and he's eating but not a lot. This will happen all through his life.
I had a cat previously with a cleft palate. He had all sorts of problems. Lots of respiratory infections and bowel issues. But it was arthritis that was his biggest problem. When he was about 14, he collapsed one day when my mother was caring for him, and couldn't get back up. He was in a lot of pain, so my mother took him to be euthanised.

Re: rough time
Aww poor thing @Sans911 it musnt be nice for him but he seems to be well more than he is unwell which is great. 14 sounds like a good run for your other cat too. I didnt get to own a cat anymore than 2 yrs. Does Jasper have a cleft palate? It doesnt look to noticeable in the pics but i havent seen it on a cat before either.

Re: rough time
No @outlander he doesn't have a cleft palate. Just my previous cat. And it was in the roof of his mouth only, so not visible.
Jasper just has a sensitive gut. He reacts to certain foods that upset his balance. I'm getting a special dietary food from the vet this week to put him on, and see if that helps. It's hard though because he likes to eat Mr A's food and I can't separate them as there's no other place to put Mr A. So I just have to watch them when they're eating. And Jasper loves his treats like yoghurt, veges, cheese, ham. I give him just a little bit otherwise he's in my face when I eat!
Both cats follow me around the house a lot! I can't go and pee without them coming into the bathroom lol! But I don't care really.

Re: rough time
Lol! Thats abit cute @Sans911 Is it possible for Mr A to have the same food as Jasper? That way you dont have to watch them or is it not really suitable for Mr A?

Re: rough time
Mr A could have the same food; it wouldn't hurt him. But it's expensive, so I won't feed it to him. I have separate food containers so I know which one is which. And they have different bowls too.
I'm getting sleepy now my angel but it's been great to chat. I always try to stretch out the time so I can spend it with you. Only another month now, and back to 2hour time difference.
Goodnight lil Sis @outlander💜💜💜💜
