Yesterday

Further to the Gabapentin chat yesterday... I did not give Noogs any last night and his appetite was back to normal!
Interesting that no-one else has noticed increase appetite with their cat. I'm 99% sure I'm right that it was causing his voracious hunger.
All cats are different indeed!

Hope everyone has a lovely Thursday 😺

Glad you’ve figured out the issue with the GABA, Helen. Seems ECID, or perhaps that dose?
Have a calm day, Helen and Noogi🐈😻🐈

Glad he didn't wake you for midnight snacks! 😁

Have a great day, Helen.

Well, he woke me at 4am as per usual 🤣
He likes me to go with him to his food bowl and show him that he still has food left to eat.

So I count one wake-up as a win, as the nights before it was several, and every time he has cleaned his bowls entirely.

Hope you and Petey are having a good morning!

So cute! I do that with Jude sometimes--the bowl is full, and he's even been eating out of it, but somehow he gets it into his head that he has to come get me and take me to the food bowl to show me...surprise...it's FULL 😸

Have a great day, Helen and Noogi!

They are so funny with all their little habits aren't they. Noogi almost always eats only the middle of his wet food, and needs me to scrape the bits on the edges back to the middle for him. He's lucky he is such a sweet boy as that is diva behaviour :ROFLMAO:

Interesting... I had to do this for Pete especially after his dental. But if he can get all the way around the bowl he just changes positions now to get it all! haha

Bandit was on Gabapentin for seizures in the last year of her life and she put on quite a bit of weight.

How much Gaba was Bandit on, Bhooma?
I had a chat to the vet today and he suggested I try a dose of 0.1ml (instead of 0.2ml). I'm going to give it a go but if it still over-stimulates his appetite I will be reluctant to carry on as I don't think he should get any rounder (he's already something of a round boy!).
I wouldn't say his arthritis is bad, but I reckon he is feeling a low level of discomfort, especially now the weather is colder, and is having some difficulty jumping up onto the sofa. I think he might have flare ups now and then as sometimes he is more sensitive about his lower back.
 
I like "round." So much gentler than other euphemisms ;)
Helen, does Noogi take a joint supplement? I think some here take Dasuquin, and I believe that Cosequin is also used for arthritis. (Jude is taking Cosequin for his FIC.)
You're wise to watch his weight, though, as obesity can aggravate arthritis as well as FD.
