I've been home for the last few months so I see my cats a lot more. My vet was very impressed at my last appointment when she was concerned my cat lost weight. I'm like yeah, this bitch has been spitting out her thyroid pills when my bf gives them to her. I noticed because she was going pee more, screaming for food more, sleeping more, and her fur wasn't soft like normal.

Vet was shocked I was that observant. She's going to be shocked in a few weeks at the other one's appointment because I think he's ready for some Kitty drugs now too. No one else has noticed but I've seen the up tick in stretching, the longer calculations before a jump, the occasionally avoiding the litter box, and him occasionally tripping over his back feet. I'm about to have 2 cats costing me $80/m in arthritis shots 🙃

A shorter sided litter box is on my to do list today.

    Have you tried cosequin treats/supplements? Our 15 year old fussbucket started not wanting to jump up on things a year ago. Vet recommended giving them a try for starters, and we have seen a significant improvement in her.

    Interesting, how long before you noticed significant improvement in mobility?

    About 3 weeks. We started thinking they were maybe helping her a bit into the second week; three weeks in we were sure. She's no spring chicken any more, but she was jumping up on chairs and sometimes tables again; and she wants to play many evenings too.
