[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2312422, member: 238814"] Popeye is doing very well now. The ‘dementia‘ tablets make a huge difference to the quality of his life. Since the feral cat attacked him some months ago and him being so ill with the abscesses he did lose some weight. But as you can probably tell from my posts he is waking me up in the middle of the night for food, and he has gained back the weight which is good. He was always a lean cat, and he didn’t need to be any leaner! He is clean, uses the cat tray despite the dementia (I thought that might be the first thing to go), no accidents at all. He knows what he wants, when he wants and I respond immediately when he asks me (by a paw on my arm, a look, or he leads me to the study door when he wants to go into the sunny potting shed for the afternoon, for food he wakes me in the night or in daytime sits by his dish and looks at me). He appears to have a good quality of life despite the dementia, and if he wants a walk in the sun in the garden, he sits by his harness and lead, and I put it on, and take him out and he sniffs the plants and eats the grass and drinks the rainwater. And takes me round the garden path clockwise for two or three times. It is like taking a dog for a walk, only a cat stops and sniffs more... It did take time and awhile getting into these routines for both of us. So not listening to the vet who wanted to put him down because of dementia was more than worth it. And finding these tablets to help cats with dementia, although costly, again is more than worth it. And he is very good now with me shoving half a tablet morning and evening down his throat. He doesn’t bite my finger through to the bone any more! I will be careful with ladders, thank you. I do take my time... You have a brilliant day [USER=488270]@SlimLizzy[/USER][/user] [/QUOTE]
