I'm SO sorry about Grayson. It's been said that ALL cats are unique,but I'm sure that NO cat was as unique as Grayson. Please accept my deepest sympathies .I'm sure that Grayon is at the Rainbow Bridge with all your beloved fur kids.

I know it's something you don't get over. But I hope you're coping okay.

I know when I lost my furgirl in '08 that this forum provided understanding that I rarely received elsewhere. It helped me to grieve well and heal well. I pray that you will receive our support as you all learn to live without your beloved boy. We'll miss hearing of his adventures.

We also lost a precious boy cat named Scooter to speeders along our farm road three years ago so I know how badly it hurts! I guess I thought he was smart enough not to run across in front of a vehicle. Now we celebrate the life of our old girl, Kricket, and hope she makes it to 20 or even more as long as she is healthy and feels good.
Our Kricket is now 18 ½ years and holding. She seems to have some hearing loss but how can you tell with a cat who is used to ignoring whenever they choose? She was born in this house back in March of 1993 and has always been a house cat with privileges… that is she goes outdoors whenever she chose. We live out in the country here in Missouri so the “call of the wild” was always strong for her, her mother, and two of her brothers that we kept from the litter. We love our dear cats!]]> FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,762,772#msg-772 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 12:15:56 -0400 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,762,771#msg-771 Barb FELINE FURUM http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,762,771#msg-771 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:00:55 -0400 http://www.catdiary.com/board/read.php?1,762,770#msg-770 barb747 Very sad to hear about Indy, I know how you feel, Casey, my older cat, was put down last Friday, I still look for her every day. But she had a good innings. Hope you all recover soon!

However, a few months ago he started to change. There were no changes to his environment/food/medication. He started crying a lot more. Gaz has always been a little vocal - but this noise is incessant. He will sit on the windowsill/couch/floor and meow at me continuously. He has food, water, clean litter and he doesn't seem to be in physical pain. I'll pick him up and give him lots of love and cuddles. He will settle down instantly, purring very loudly, and will stay on my lap for anywhere up to 45 minutes. But then he will jump down, go and sit somewher and cry at me again! I will give him more love, more lap-sitting ensues, and then the same thing again! He will never approach me for cuddles. He never tries to run out the front door, and he has lots of favourite spots.

He no longer comes to bed with me either :( I have picked up about 8 "claw shells" in the past couple of weeks as well (i.e. a layer of his claws seems to be coming off? apparently commonly associated with hyperthyroidism).
He has hyperthyroidism and is medicated for it. The vet recently checked everything and said the drugs were working and it was not his thyroid. She has now prescribed anti-anxiety medication for Gaz! It has been about 2 weeks, and the only change in behaviour so far is that he has stopped eating! The vet seems to think its the solution - but something about that doesn't sit quite right with me.

I don't know if it is affection he wants, or he just likes it so much that he forgets what he was upset about! Or should I be worried about dementia?

He seems to cry more at night. However, we have to have sit-down cuddle time in the morning too. I feel like the worst mum in the world, leaving my crying boy at home all day!
