[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 691219, member: 1963"] Thomas is doing OK. He is on laxatives permanently, but only the stool softener, not the stimulant at this time. Mostly, he's just getting old, which saddens me. His arthritis is getting a bit worse, and I'm in a bind with that as I have narcotic painkillers for him, which I do use when he's obviously limping, but the narcotics are very constipating. I was nose to nose with him the other day, and noticed that his eyes are just starting to cloud over with the start of cataracts. It'll be a long time before those are a problem. I have noticed over the past few months that he doesn't hear as well, but had partially attributed that to stubborness and "selective hearing". Then, last night, I took down the bag of kitty treats and rattled it and got Squeaky, when six months ago, I would've gotten both cats. I walked from the kitchen into the living room, and Thomas was fast asleep in the easy chair. I rattled the treat bag from two feet away and he jumped up and came flying into the kitchen, squawking all the way. So yeah, he's losing his hearing. He'll be 13 in August. I do hope I'll have him for a few years yet. I do love that cat so. ::Typed while Squeaky is sitting next to the laptop licking my knuckles.:: [/QUOTE]
