Crazy ming ming….

She was going crazy for the birds outside hehe.. and her halloween sweater is too cute :3

Months ago, Petal was rehomed to me and I started the sphynx journey! And we just got home from our first vacation! We took her along because she gets very stressed when one of her people isn't around (I think maybe because she's deaf) and needs a special diet. She did so well in the car (three hours) and had so much fun!! She's my favorite cat ever. <3 <3

Some of you may remember that my boy was underweight and I hadn’t fully realized it (was given wrong information). He was brought to their normal vet (different than the one we got wrong information from) for a checkup because he has HCM. I’m happy to report that not only is he not in CHF, but they couldn’t hear his heart murmur at all which had been grade 3 or 4 at all previous visits, he’s at a healthy weight now, and his body condition score was a 5!

Speaking of HCM management, any HCM kitty parents, I would love some tips for keeping him out of CHF for a long as possible. He is on a low sodium, high protein wet food that I changed him to recently, is very active, I’m at home most of the time, and I’m going to reintegrate fish oil into his diet as soon as his stool is well managed with his current diet (he has a sensitive tummy), and I monitor his SRR regularly. We are also working on a request for transferring me to another building within accessible city housing that has less fire alarms and less general conflict/chaos for my sake and the cats to further reduce stress, and once there I plan to add more thorough enrichment via wall attachments and cat trees, of which I already have some and plan to get more. If anyone has any further suggestions and ideas for him I’d be interested to know. Sadly the FDA approved med for HCM management is not available here, so he’s only on Atenolol.
