At what age do they stop being "kitties" and become "cats"? :-)

Are the glucosamine and prednisone pills or drops, or are you going to have to start sticking needles in her?

Glucosamine is a powder (break the capsule into a tablespoon of tune, no problem)
Predinsone is a pill, that should be fun. Starts monday.

Kitty and kitten are diminutives, not descriptors :-)

I HIGHLY recommend Pill Pockets. Sophie will literally beg for her medication because she likes the chewy treats so much.

If the pain meds don't give her her appetite back, there are appetite stimulants that might help. Good luck on the pills. (Me, I wish all meds were injectable -- after getting used to Duchess' insulin I vow it is the easiest way ever to medicate a cat.) I hope Pill Pockets work for her! (I have one who throws up if given Pill Pockets. Pessimal.)
