#BeaufortTheCat has not been eating since Sunday. He's still somewhat interested in water, but not much. Interestingly, when he hears me filling something up with water, he comes downstairs but doesn't drink. This week, he has an interest in sitting in the laundry sink (he's never done that). He was still able to jump on the wash machine next to it, but I provided him with a chair as a halfway station now. Then he was interested in the laundry basket for the evening. #catsofmastodon#cats
We didn't expect this, but #Beaufortthecat made it another week. He basically stopped eating, other than a teaspoon or two of wetfood. He does drink a bit throughout the day. We said our goodbyes at least three times this week, lots of hugs, assuming he won't make it through the night, but the next morning his big eyes are welcoming us downstairs again. There's 2 hours of some activity and drinking and then he retires for most of the day until early evening 1/2
Another week has passed and #Beaufortthecat is still with us. The last two days he hasn’t been eating much and I am surprised he is still hanging in. Walking up the stairs has been harder and I have now put a chair next to the kitchen counter, he can’t jump from the floor on the counter anymore. I accidentally discovered he really enjoys a bit of milk deluded with water. Drinking from a bowl in the sink is a new thing. He even went into the catio last night. #CatsOfMastodon#Caturday#concerned
Well, we thought #Beaufortthecat wouldn’t make it to the end of the week. Last night, I thought he would go (tears), but here we are and he is still sitting next to me. He only licks some of the fat from a tin of cat food contents. We hand feed him Temptations now and then and he still laps up quite a bit of water. We would have been walking in Lisbon today, but we postponed our trip for him last week so he better hangs in with us a bit longer. #CatsOfMastodon#Caturday#cats
This week, #Beaufortthecat was behaving very lethargic and we thought he might pass away. He is eating very little dry food and only eating the fat in his wet food. We started to buy the very small wet food cans as he refused to eat from a can that has been open 24 hours or more. But he is more resilient than expected and he is still around, even going outside once in a while. He tends to loaf in different places than he used to and still enjoys our lap #Caturday#CatsOfMastodon#cats
