My dear old BK., 23 yrs old and coming up on 24, underwent surgery to replace his old fluids tube today. He came through it like the little champ he is. He was completely recovered from anesthesia in under an hour, His blood work is excellent, and he ate a whole hot dog when we got home.
I'm so relieved. and thankful. I know the day is coming when we will be parted, but it looks to be a little way off yet. ![]() -------------------- "You in heaven...be aware. When my day comes I will be there. Then open your gates and you will see....on wings you gave, they'll fly to me"

The only thing unusual about BK.'s diet is that he drinks large quantities of whole milk. Now you wouldn't think that would be good for a grown cat, so that leads me to wonder I just the sheer volume of fluids he consumed helped his kidneys to get him this far. Since he's lost some kidney function I try to feed him the prescription renal diet...but I don't insist on it. His favorite thing is hot dogs, also blueberry yogurt.
He has aways been a little different. -------------------- "You in heaven...be aware. When my day comes I will be there. Then open your gates and you will see....on wings you gave, they'll fly to me"
