It's my avatar photo, so it's probably going to change to something else in the future, but for now...
Left to right, Munchkin (6), Teddy (10), and Marvin (16).
Teddy has chronic intestinal inflammation, and is on 100mg of Prednisolone and .5ml of kitty laxative per day. Marvin is hyperthyroid, and is on 2.5mg Methimazole twice a day. All seem to be doing fine. Marvin was supposedly 8 when I adopted him. He's looking as good now as he did then. Also have Munchkin's big twin sister, Punky, and Squeak (10), who is in a photo somewhere upthread. Munchkin - Extra fluffy, cute but possibly with a touch of evil.Punky - Chunky but spunky. Squeak - Little grumpy. Teddy - The weasel. Marvin - The big old generic cat. Moose Edited by Minnemooseus, : A "Marving" to "Marvin" - The long lost typo.

Teddy has chronic intestinal inflammation, and is on 100mg of Prednisolone and .5ml of kitty laxative per day. Marvin is hyperthyroid, and is on 2.5mg Methimazole twice a day. In all, not that hard to take care off. My thoughts have been, at least I don't have to deal with a diabetic cat.
Punky - Chunky but spunky. And newly discovered, diabetic. My cat medication costs are about to go way up. The doctor estimate is that the insulin will run about $400/year. I lost a cat to diabetes 10+ years ago, thus I've always tried to be aware of cat water consumption. Still, it managed to sneak up on me. I was suspecting water intake increase, but I didn't know which cat. Then a couple of days ago I watched Spunky hitting the water dish hard, a couple of times. Other than that, seemed to be fine. Earlier today I cleaned the litter box, while Spunky was at the vet clinic. The wet kitty litter volume was only about 1/5th what it has been. D'oh. Like I said, still managed to sneak up on me. In hindsight, the increased water consumption has been going on for at least several months. I should have thought a lot more about that "make sure the cat's water dish is full" note I posted on the exit door a while back. A big bowl had gone dry a couple of times. D'oh. Moral of the story - Even 5 cats don't drink that much water. Watch out if that changes. Moose

This post is for my own personal record as much as anything.
He was diagnosed hyperthyroid in 2011 and chronic kidney failure some years later. He had a good run and died on his own in a reasonably comfortable manner, while at the vet clinic. As good of an ending as I could have hoped for. Probably chalk it up to heart failure. For me, I'm calling it a happy-sad day. Moose Added by edit - I've once again made my avatar (for now) one that includes Marvin - He's on the far right. That photo was from back in 2015, so he would have been 16 then. The far left (back) is Munchkin, currently 10 years. In the middle is Teddy. currently 13 years. To answer the Phat question from the next message, now down to 4 cats.
