Jodi Speaks Her Mind

Concerned for my kitty… 4/23/2003

Toby is our orange tabby and quite a personality! I have been concerned about him since he has been gradually losing weight over the past year or so. We brought up the issue last fall when we took him in for his shots and a checkup. At the time he weighed 9 lbs 11 oz, which was down from his previous weights of 11.4 lbs and 10.8 lbs.

Well, as we suspected, today he weighed in at only 8lbs 7 oz! He looks like skin and bones. The vet couldn’t find anything obvious wrong with him so he ordered a whole slew of tests (price: one arm and one leg) so he can hopefully diagnose what caused him to lose over a quarter of his body weight in just 2 yrs time and more than a pound of that in just 5 months!

Thank you for any positive thoughts towards Toby. If nothing else, just think “get fat” vibes for him. I’ll see if I can find a picture to include so you can see how cute he is!
