A weekly heartbreak

Having age-related kidney disease, our Steveston cat Roi needs help to remain hydrated.

Every Thursday, we hook him up with an ivy line to administer his subcutaneous fluids.

He tries to escape but, not being fast enough, can only seek refuge in a bookshelf.

This is so heartbreaking but so necessary to protect his well being.

My poor baby!

Mindful drinking

Being an 18 year old feline with kidney disease, my cat Roi needs to keep himself well hydrated.

With his arthritis and all, I decided to serve his water in a tall plastic tumbler so he wouldn't need to bend down too much.

This is not a coca Cola ad...
