Very particular, has very specific health needs, will only eat certain foods. Adverse to most exercise. Needs lots of sleep. If you forget its medicine it *will* die but somehow it keeps trucking. Questionable joint health.

I vet friend recommended I get this arthritis medicine for our 15/16-ish year old cat (he's a rescue we dk for sure). You have to inject it with a needle yourself which kinda freaks me out cause I don't want to miss. its also $50 a month which is not cheap but not the worst.
The results are amazing though, he has so much more energy, can jump better, plays more. Hard rec for those with 9+ yr old cats.

This is fatso (the real name she was given before me). She’s my 7 year old cat. I adopted her last year. All I know about her past is she lived in someone’s backyard with 30 other strays. Apparently she had a husband and that would fight big rats with her.
If u live in small apartment and u have a busy life, getting a kitten is really tough. I recommend adopting an older cat if you would like a pet that isn’t a full time responsibility.
She’s a sweet girl. She likes her distance but loves a back scratch. My home has become her home, that I also live in. We make it work.

First, I’m so sorry your kitty isn’t doing well :( I’ve been through similar. My cat had mystery puke after eating (turned out it was pancreatitis), annd was losing so much weight, and what ended up curing him was making is food from scratch. We feed this to both our cats now. Store bought food is filled with horrible things for kitties, even the fancy ones! I’ll put the recipe below.
before this, though, I’d try to get your cat excited about some food most cats find irresistible. Try feeding your cat sardines in water with no salt added. They go crazy for that! Also little bits of butter are great for cats.
There are these freeze dried single ingredient cat treats from Vital. Like little minnows, duck liver, chicken hearts, and rabbit bites. Cats go crazy for them too and there‘s no weird filler or chemicals like in most cat food and cat treats.
Ok here’s the cat food recipe. This frets our two cats for about 2-2.5 weeks.
Ingredients:
• 4 lbs ground beef (preferably organic and/or grass fed. try to stock up when on sale)
• 2 big carrots (try to get organic)
• 1 apple (try to get organic)
• 1/2 cup frozen blueberries (try to wild or organic)
• abour 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup rolled oats, and water for cooking it
Directions:
1. Make the rolled oats as per the directions on the package but without salt, set aside to cool
2. Chop the apple, compost or toss the core and seeds
3. Chop oats
4. In a food processor, process the apple, blueberries, and carrots, take out galf and set aside
5. Put in 2 lbs meat and half the oat meal into the food processor and process with the fruit and veg mixture until consistent, add about 1/2 the water and process some more. Set aside in a large bowl.
6. Add the rest of the fruit veg blend, meat, oatmeal, and water, and repeat step 5
7. Mix all of it together
8. Fill little 4oz mason jars with the food. Keep 1 in the fridge for feeding, put the rest in the freezer. Take one out the day prior to defrost. Feed kitty about 1/2 mason jar per feeding.
I know this is a lot and is higher quality than what some people eat!! But it literally saved my little kitty’s life 🥺 you don’t know what horrible stuff they put in store bought cat food!!
We also add Wysong Call of the wild vitamin powder on top per serving, as well as Nordic Naturals omega-3 oil at dinner.
I would try just feeding her plain raw ground beef, sardines, and the freeze dried treats first, then when she starts eating again make the recipe above!!
