I thought Tiger would not survive the night, but he got up and meowed loudly and came into the kitchen for some water

I guess I’ll call my vet when they open at 9 AM. He still not eating.

Doesn’t really know about litter boxes, but I had the right idea. He’s very shaky when he walked and yelled at me to keep petting him when I stop.

And I wanted to go to the office right across the street from me for less stress on the kitty. I’m just keeping an eye on him. I think he’s in hospice. I honestly am at a loss heading to the World Cup final.

But he just walked to the back door and asked to go out and went straight to his water bowl. I don’t know what to do.

She is on the Royal Canin Renal diet. Hoping Tiger gets a workable diagnosis.

thank him for, I can't imagine yours.


and as to your last sentence, he was gripping with his paws like kneading but just once whenever I petted him or talked with him yesterday, so I know he's there.
