Yeti has an appointment with the veterinarian this morning. She's an old cat - 15 going on 16, but acts like the perennial kitten in so many ways. Lately she's been losing weight and her glossy, snow white fur is shedding rapidly. I know that older cats often develop thyroid problems. I'm hoping she gets a clean bill of health and will be with me for many more years to come.
Yeti has been an exemplary friend to me over the years. She is more like a dog in so many ways, too - she'll listen to my verbal commands, play fetch, and follow me wherever I go, and back again. Her sense of being in tune with me is uncanny. I am very philosophical about life and death, but when confronted with the fact of her not being here one day, I feel... anxious and sad. Can't even think of it right now.

Let us know.
I've lost several treasured friends over the years and it's never easy. Shame our furry friends don't live as long as we do.
Good luck, Yeti. Hopefully, she will remain with you for years to come. I'll check back by later to see how she is doing.
I so hope all goes well with your little darlin'...
Yeti is on medication for her thyroid which, it turns out, is on the hyper-active side. She's doing well and is still very active and VERY vocal every morning when I get up and get ready for work.
Please post an update (and photos if posible) on Yeti. Glad to know she's on the mend.
