Sam the cat

I took Sam to the vet Sunday. He continues to loose weight. But other than that he seems to be doing fine.

He has an appetite. He wants his food and has no problem in finishing off a plate of food and wanting more. His energy level is fine. He likes to play and still runs around the house. He doesn’t mind any more than usual being picked up. He purrs and he still likes to bite me even when I say no.

In other words, he’s not acting like an animal in pain. The classic for cats is them hiding somewhere and not coming out. Not wanting to be held, having little or no energy and not wanting to be held. He exhibits none of the normal signs of a cat being sick or in pain.

The vet thinks it might be a problem with his thyroid. All sorts of tests are being performed to see how he’s doing. I should get the results of them later this afternoon. One good thing is he is off the antibiotic that he was on for the last month. But that might be replaced with something for his thyroid. I’m hoping this is something that can be added to his food.

I've decided to let Sam go down the basement again. He really loves to go down there.
