Beauty's decided today that she isn't impressed with the prescription wet food either.

Yesterday she was quite happy eating it! (she's eaten some of it and some if the dry as well, but reluctantly)

She's taken to the prescriptoin wet food but won't touch the prescription dry food.

She's seriously spoilt as well!

She has both wet food and dry food. The vet has prescribed her some food so it's a case of seeing if she eats it now.

There's good news and bad news. I'll post the bad news first then the good I think.

***Bad News***

The bad news is that Beauty has now got kidney problems (mild at the moment, the vet's advised we start her on special food for her kidneys - he's getting some in for her)

***Good News***

The good news is the lump he found is a solidified mixture of brown, smelly stuff that should be in the litter tray and hair. He's managed to get it out of her, and apparently she was very good when she was there!

She stayed there last night.

Her arthritis has been bothering her as well, the other night she had real trouble getting up the stairs!

Beauty's got to go to the vets in a weeks time, so I'll have a word with him then to see if there's anything he can do for her arthritis.

The vet found a lump in her abdomen, he's given her an injection to help it and he's seeing her tomorrow to see if the injection has made any difference.

I hope so too!

She'll be going to the vets this evening. (she's between 10 and 14 - can't be more precise than that)

I think it's probably the fact Beauty isn't well.

This morning she had her breakfast then had an accident on the carpet (food accident)

She hasn't eaten anything since. Going to phone the vets.

Last night Beauty was yow-ing. She came in to my room (really restless), looked at me settling down to sleep (bearing in mind it was about 11pm) and she suddenly yow-ed! It sounded for all the world like she'd got something stuck through her paw! (she hadn't - I checked) but she's not been right all this afternoon either. She seemed to be OK this morning, but she's back to being really restless!

I know what normal behaviour for her is, although she sometimes does wander around the house, she doesn't usually make any noise! Hearing her loudly yow is HIGHLY unusual.

Can anyone help? (I don't think it's her arthritis, if it was then she'd have gone to find somewhere comfortable and warm, preferably in the sun)

I'm trying to find an alternative food she likes.

I know just because a cat likes something doesn't mean it's good for them, there's some food I will NOT feed Beauty because it wouldn't be good for her.

Chocolate being one of them, no matter how much Beauty tries to persuade me she will like it!

Good girl Sophers! You tell Mummy when you find something!

I only feed Whiskas dried food to Beauty because she loves it!

If she'd said yuck to it when I first gave her some I wouldn't be feeding it to her.

Anyone feed their cats Whiskas dried food?

Beauty will eat the dried food but she won't eat Whiskas wet food.

Pics posted - more coming tomorrow!

That's getting on a bit for a cat!
