I think Fluffy is definitely in her 9th life, and I am even worried that she won't make Christmas. I wanted to make this post so that all my cat-owning friends out there can give me their thoughts; maybe you have experience of these symptoms?............

When I took Fluffy to the vet in October it was for two reasons:

1. she needed pills for her thyroid condition. I stopped giving her the ones she was on because they were having the side effect of sever itching and she was pulling her fur out. So, she needed a blood test to assess her levels, and new prescription of Vidalta, the thyroid med she had been on before.
2. she was off her food.

I can't stress enough that these were the ONLY reasons I took her in. She was ok in every other respect. She was racing up and down stairs, overtaking us at times. She was using her litter tray ok, and using the catflap to go out. She was climbing the furniture and climbing onto US for cuddles and naps.

When at the vet's, they felt a lump and so decided to keep her in for the day to investigate. They shaved her side and did an ultrasound scan without sedative. They found that one kidney was larger than the other and looked cystic. They gave her 3 injections; an anti-biotic, an anabolic steroid, and a vitamin B12 shot.

SINCE THE VISIT TO THE VET she has changed- since then she hasn't run upstairs, or anywhere else. She stays in one room. She doesn't climb furniture or seek cuddles. She strains to wee and meows and meows and meows really loudly for about 20 minutes BEFORE each wee.

We returned to the vet. I told them her symptoms and they prescribed anti-biotics for a urine infection. She had this for 15 days. NO CHANGE.

She has gone from running around and being cheeky to staying in one room, crying to and from from the litter tray. When I asked about this, the only response was that oh well, she IS old, you know; you may have to make a difficult decision soon.

WHAT???? Yes I know she is old, but she was old when I brought her in last month and she wasn't like this. She has only been like this since her day at the vet. I am so scared they did something to traumatise her in some way and now no one will tell me what.

Since yesterday she is off her food. I am having to force her tablets down her, which I hate to do. AND NOW THERE IS ANOTHER SYMPTOM; her back legs are weak and she is wobbly and walking ' on her haunches'.

I know this can be a symptom of chronic renal failure, but I wander if she would be weeing more if she had that. It can also mean anaemia.

She is booked in for another blood test this Saturday morning. I am going to call the vet tomorrow morning to ask for more advice. They also want to test her urine via some special litter I have to use Friday night.

WHAT DO YOU THINK??? I know she is old, but this change in behaviour is only since she was at the vet for a day. I have said this to them, and all they do is say nothing they did caused it and that she is old. They don't seem to get that she was so different before. I know she will go downhill, being old, that is going to come,. But this was a sudden change...... I think i am losing her....

Ah - what a way to end the year! Michelle and Dmitri rounded out my great year of weddings for Powers Studios in fine style. I photographed their e-session back in the summer and while we couldn't go outside to play due to the weather, we found some cool spots at the Embassy Suites downtown, and at the West End Theatre for some awesome portraits.

Love these guys!!

Here are my faves:

Nikki and Erich know how to have a great time! This fantastic couple were so excited to be celebrating their special day in November. A few days prior to the wedding Nikki called concerned about the heavy rain forecast for the weekend and I calmed her nerves down expressing that often our favorite photographs are taken in the most challenging situations (like rain!). As a Portland based studio we love shooting in the rain and frankly don't have much of a choice considering we live in the NW and it rains very often right?!... :) Along came Saturday and behold the most beautiful day of the week with clear skies and a very content bride! We met at the Nines Hotel for preparations before making our way to the West End Theater. After the beautiful ceremony officiated by the 'Goochie' I was lucky to pull Nikki and Erich away! We slid out the back door and managed to get creative and found a bunch of cool spots to take advantage of downtown! Nikki and Erich - thanks for sharing your special day with us and can't wait to hear all about the honeymoon :)
