Hello everyone,
For a few months now, 12-year-old Silver has been doing his business next to the litter tray every now and then. He has been treated for arthritis for a long time and had two injections, a month apart, to help regain his mobility (the vet checked him two weeks ago and everything is fine; he weighs 9.3kg, which is about 20.5 lbs). He has gained muscle, takes a Novoflex tablet every morning, and eats dry food mixed with urinary wet food. Before the injections, he was also seeing an osteopath once a month when necessary.
He limps on his front right paw and, despite the osteopathy sessions, nothing has changed. He slipped on the stairs; he is a bit clumsy.
He has a mate called Tigroo, a domestic shorthair he's lived with for 8 years, and they get on brilliantly.
Silver wanders around the garden off-lead as he keeps to his patch, but Tigroo has to be on a lead because he’s a former stray (adopted from a local animal rescue, and the manager there is always available if there's an issue); he has managed to sneak out four times at night. So many cats get run over, and that is the ONLY reason.
They share the same meals. I try to be just as attentive with both of them.
As for the litter, I use an unscented supermarket brand. If I have to change brands because it’s out of stock, he’s a bit reluctant! Thanks for your help.
