Jack (cat) status update

[catbear]

Jack (cat) is ailing, getting rather thin. He's seen the vet last week with "disinterest in food" and his blood work suggests a bit of hyperthyroidism, which would also explain why he's rather annoyingly alert at times

Poor Jack (cat). :(

My black boy Franklin had thyroid problems, too. Medication helped him a great deal, and improved the quality of the last few years of his life.

He was almost 18 when he passed last year. He just ran out of cat.

*hugs*

Thanks -- that gives me some hope for Jack's prospects. He's old-ish but we don't know exactly as he was a rescue.

Sending you and Jack (cat) lots of strength and comfort.

Is your kitteh's name really "Jack (cat)" ? Because that would be awesome. (And if not, Jack is also a great name. 👌👍 😺)

His full name is Dr. Isak Ezekiel "Jack" Jones, which is a pretty good name for a cat. Sometimes we can unironically say, "No time for love, Dr. Jones!"

Thanks -- he's doing better now with the assisted feeding. We hope for a more concrete diagnosis on Tuesday.
