Cat Health Update

Three weeks ago, we took the cats in for their annual checkup.  We were a little worried about a lump on Isaac’s front leg, which was biopsied.

The results are now all in.

Albert is fine.  He went into the vet today for a dental cleaning for gingivitis.  (Isaac didn’t need it this time.)  His blood work came back fine.

Isaac is also fine.  The lump on his front leg matched the one on his back leg – fatty tissue and nothing to be concerned about.  We are a bit concerned about his blood work.  His thyroid number was slightly elevated for an older cat.  We’re going to take him back for more blood work in 3-6 months.  We’ll have his teeth checked again at the same time.

We should have Albert at home this evening.  I hope he’ll just be drowsy rather than psychotic like Isaac was the last time they had their teeth cleaned.

We love our cats.

Kitty is alright

I mentioned on Thursday that Isaac had a lump on his leg.

The vet called today.  The tissue tested as fatty tissue – making this a fatty tumor which is benign and very common in older cats.  We are to contact the vet if the lump changes, but otherwise it’s not something to worry about.

Isaac could care less.  It’s not affecting him at all.

We’re feeling better.
