Well, maybe she's not exactly svelte but she's been trying to keep the weight down since she became a tripawd. She had her wellness exam today and lost a little weight and her pal Eli found it! Funny how that happens. If she doesn't clean up her bowl immediately, Eli will. He's a great little housekeeper.

Both of my cats are well but I'm concerned about arthritis and neither of them will take supplements (I've tried them all). The vet is suggesting a mobility dry cat food which has green-lipped mussel, etc for arthritis in it. I'm not really convinced so have decided to test it out on Eli who seems to have stiffness in his rear leg. So he will go on Metacam pain relief anti-inflammatory for a week so I can see how he is without inflammation then put him on the mobility cat food to see the difference.

I'm open to any suggestion about brands of dry kibble that has anti-inflammatory ingredients.

Here's a photo of Eli and Mona getting ready to leave the vets. As usual they arrive in separate cages but when examine they choose to be together in the box. They stay in the box where the vet examines them. It's part of vet's policy to do the checkup where the cats feel safest. Eli needed to get a blood and urine test since he's a senior so they took both cats in the box to the back for his tests. I love how the vet recognized that they give each other comfort so he kept them together.
