Can I ask for prayers?

Please send out prayers for my cat Lenny, he's an old one. He's not himself lately. He's hardly eating and when he does, it comes back up. I just lost my Zoe , suddenly a year ago and don't want to lose another one. Thanks.

Poor Lenny, prayers sent.

Thanks Ana. He did eat a lil tuna and it stayed down so far. I just want him back to his old self.

Oh TLC, big hugs and prayers.

Thanks, Looney. I know they get sick like we all do but its so hard, to see fur babies not feeling well.

Yes, heart-breakingly so.

What does your veterinarian say? Sometimes elderly cats have kidney problems that can be managed. He could just be getting dehydrated too. I hope whatever it is, he can be helped.

I haven't taken him in. I'm wondering if the last food my husband bought is the problem? He was fine before that? I'll keep giving him tuna, that seems to have stayed in his stomach.

Prayers sent TLC. Hope he feels better soon.

Cathy

Thanks, Cathy.

But don't wait too long to get him in to see the vet and watch his fluid intake carefully... fingers crossed for both of you!

I had an older cat that I fed lunch meat to (bologna). He loved it, BUT then he stopped eating, rolled on his side and just howled. Took him to the vet and he had...an upset stomach from too much sodium! Check that new cat food for sodium. The vet gave me some pills that were essentially 'tums'. Cured in in one day. Might try mixing some 'powered' tums in his tuna and see if that helps. But yep. vet is next if he doesn't perk up pronto. Prayers for the kitty and YOU.

Thanks, Sorta Blonde. I'll have to buy some Tums.

Hope he is feeling better

They say tuna is filled with mercury now, could that be an issue. Of my 5 cats 2 are ancient and have eaten fancy feast most their lives. It's expensive but they rarely need vet care. I wish you well with this........he must be hurting

Thanks Winfrey and Yankee Clipper. It seemed to start after him eating 9 Lives can food. I'll have to get Fancy Feast in cans, they all loved that.

Be sure you check with your vet before you give your kitty Tums. Depending on what is going on, it might hurt more than help.

Hope your kitty feels better soon. I too recommend the vet if this goes on for more than a couple of days or so.

Thanks so much everyone. I'm staying home today, to keep an eye on him.

Forgot to mention.......fancy f also has broth with meat and fish in it. This is really pricey but they love it. Right now Commander Buttons is snacking on tuna,shrimp and whitefish in a decadent silky broth. How is he doing. You love him very much.

Hugs and prayers on the way. When my older cat Madeline stopped eating I coaxed her back with those FF Broths. Now she's back to her normal self and diet.

He's doing ok, he's been sleeping. I hope he comes out of his spot tonight, when Max our dog is either put in his crate or goes up to bed with the husband. Max doesn't get along too well with the cats.

Sorry to be late with my best wishes for your cat, TLC, but sending them anyway

No problem, Mad. Thanks.

TLC. Prayers on the way up.

Thanks, Space Quest Fan.

Prayers for your Lenny cat TLC. Draclvr said to watch his fluid intake carefully. You need to watch that fluid is coming out also.

Thanks, oldbroad. He did get up to eat some tuna, he got some water from that but don't think he's drinking water.

Do hope your little fur baby gets better. You might try adding a bit of water to the tuna.

Not drinking or peeing is not a good sign, TLC. Don't wait too long to get him to your veterinarian.

Aw, poor kitty. Best thoughts, and hope he gets better!! I agree with Draclvr, taking him to the vet would be the best thing.

I agree with Draclvr too TLC. Older kitties need to see the vet to make sure there is nothing else going on. My old kitty had a problem with constipation and it caused a lot of other issues for her. Don't wait to long. Prayers on the way.

Your best bet its to go to the vet. Just like several others have said, older cats have special needs. High protein feed is not necessarily the best, especially if there are kidney issues going on. The vet can prescribe specific (feed or meds) after examining them.

Hugs and prayers out for Lenny.

How is he today

Wondering how your kitty is today, TLC.

Hi Everyone, Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. He seems a lil better today than yesterday, he was up and around meowing, waiting for breakfast, gave him tuna again. I'm beginning to think it was the 9 lives cat food, maybe he got a bad can? We have 3 cats, so its hard to tell who drinks and who's peeing in the litter. I'll be staying home with him again today.

I hope he continues to improve TLC but I still would visit the Vet just to be sure.

If he's not completely himself by Monday, I will call the Vet.

Even if he doesn't eat, I'd feel better if he was drinking - dehydration could be his biggest enemy right now.

Keep us updated on how kitty is doing!

Please do. This may be a gaming site but we have a lot of animal lovers here who are all hoping he gets better TLC.

How is kitty this morning?

He seems fine this morning, just like his old self. Just wish we could fatten the old boy up. I really appreciate all of the prayers, well wishes and advice.

PS. He even tried to steal Scoop's food.

PPS. He's now even laying by me, being his pushy self for lovin.

That is great news TLC.

Thanks Space Quest Fan.

WONDERFUL!

Good News!!

Thanks Draclvr and oldbroad.

Good news about Lenny - so glad your fur baby is okay.

Thanks, Marian.

Fantastic! Glad to hear your kitty is better, TLC!

WooHoo!!! Lenny is feeling better. HUGS and prayers that he continues to improve!!!


Nan

Thanks everyone.

Good to hear he is feeling better.

Thanks, Gerry.

Great news that he is feeling better.

Cathy

Thanks Cathy, He's an old boy, so was very worried about him. He now seems his old self, on my lap being pushy for some lovin.

Glad it all worked out. Be sure to give him EXTRA loving.

Oh he's getting it, Sorta Blonde.

Great to hear the good news, TLC

Thanks, Mad.

Good to read that he is getting better.

Thanks Winfrey. He's back to his old self.

saying Prayers for poor Lenny~
it might just be hairballs they cause them to eat then throw up
my cats ar 16 year old and they get them all the time
have you tried giving him some cat-lax??
it tastes good and they lick it off your finger~

How old is Lenny>?

Drmojo, He's doing much better now, back to his old pushy self. He's somewhere between 12-14 yrs old, he used to belong to my daughter and not sure when she got him.
