Awww, poor baby. How old is he?

Soda, my Hobbes has arthritis on the base of his spine, near his tail, and the vet told me it is perfectly safe for cats to crush one half of a low dose, human aspirin every day and put it in his food. She said don't go on the internet to research it, because you'll see conflicting information. When I do it for him, I do see a difference, he is more comfortable. I cut a low dose aspirin in half along the perforation, crush it between two spoons, and sprinkle it in wet food. You should ask your vet about this, supposedly it is safe long-term (the narcotic pain medicine makes him insane, I think he hallucinates)

Brooke - he'll be 10 in August.

MC - thanks for the advice. I think he might need it. He's much more active today but he's still favoring his left paw.

So glad Milton is doing better!

And thank you all for the birthday wishes.

Smuggler wants to give everyone a big smooch and says .

Glad he's doing better!

We've used low dose aspirin here too for our pets.

Sable



Copper



She's a Pixie Bob (about 15 years old), He's a short haired cat of some kind (not sure what you call them, tabby I guess) about 6-7 years old. They love each other and Copper in particular is "my" cat. He's the one that sits with me mostly. Sable is very independent and other than Copper, doesn't socialize much and not with people.

For sure. I love dogs, but I'm a cat person at heart... I like them both equally but I find myself associating more with cats.

We have 4 dogs - I'll try to get pics of them soon.

Austin, your cats are pretty!

I'm a cat person too. I like dogs, but outside.

Awh love the kitty cats!
My poor Odie Dog had really bad arthritis and we had to give him pain killers from vet. So sad still miss his sweet blue eyes.

But now I am being ran crazy with my new furbaby who is now 9 weeks and killing me. He drank about 1/4 cup of coffee that my daughter left on the floor this a.m. He just now settled down! Thank goodness. He is a loverboy though. I'll upload pic's soon
