Hey everyone, sorry about the holdup. We have been going through a pretty rough patch. I haven't posted because I'm not online that much. Sorry. The shop hasn't been open for a while, everything has been boxed up and put in storage. Didn't expect for it to take this long. Our product Tester, Eddie has also had some health issues. Eddie has had a thyroid problem for many years, I always thought that hyperthyroidism would cause a cat to gain weight but I was wrong. I found out that they will eat a lot more and even drink a lot more I know that they become a little aggressive and irritable and move around a lot when they're trying to sleep because they can't get comfortable. But, I always thought they gained weight but in fact with hyperthyroidism they can lose weight. Eddie was always close to 14 lb now, he is about 9 pounds. He became so skinny looking and feeling and for a while I was so sad. He's got a bit of a belly and a little weight on him now but he still really only weighs a little more than 9 lb. I like when they have weight on them, I like when they're chunky. My Rodnie, who we lost back in 2010 was hitting 22 lb by the time he left us. He was a little guy, shorter & smaller frame than the other four but he was the most chunkiest and the most demanding. I miss that chunky little body he was such a stinker. Eddie also has a heart condition and he has had pancreatitis, hope that's gone now, he also had thickening of the intestinal walls so it was feared he had cancer. Because of his heart and his age the vet suggested we didn't put him out so he could be scoped but we put him on prednisone to see if that helps repair the thickening of the walls of the intestines. It seemed to have help, I'm really hoping he will be okay. We will be moving hopefully soon and it's nearly a 3-hour drive I'm going to be a disaster we have never taken him on any more than a 20-minute ride. He has lived here in Connecticut his whole life except for the very beginning when I didn't know him. I was told he came up from Georgia. I plan to take him to New Jersey back to family and friends. I hope that happens soon. That's all for now I'll stop back when I can and hopefully we can get back on track soon.❤
