Nelli update...
Nelli is sporting a Valentine hat today for Felix (@Susan&Felix)... she thinks it’s kinda dorky :cat:.

Little Miss Nelli… She has been :otj: since mid December (& keeps reminding me of her party)– tonight is the night I input data into her SS :D.
I test her probably more often than necessary- every few days sometimes once every day. She has been testing out with lows in the low 60s, High end in the low 100s; consuming kibbles every day :woot:.

She has early stage III CKD, one of the most important things I’ve learned is that a kitty has to, has to eat no matter what it is they eat.
Darwin Intelligent Design (kidney)low in P, over last couple weeks is clearly bothering her stomach when she eats it :blackeye: to extent she will not touch anymore :(.
In order to get her to eat Ive been feeding about 1/3 cup dry Farmina Digestion Kibble‘s in about 1/4 cup raw goats milk. Feline Natural Chicken & Lamb Feast Grain-Free Freeze-Dried inraw goat milk. Raw filet mignon. Raw chix thighs. This makes up her daily diet. BG numbers not affected!? :kiss: ❣️
Recently put her back on Antinol and 12u SubQ Bupe (every 3-4 days).
I am having her labs done next week to check the P (primarily).

Nelli- Welli...

She's so adorable. It's great she's staying in good numbers. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
Thanks Carla, yes I agree... good numbers and that she’s adorable :cat: :).
I’ve been keepin an eye on that little girl of yours :cat:. Do you think... I’ll bet she dips down into blue territory mid day, often?

I’d much rather be working day and night keeping Nelli BG regulated, than standing by- feeling almost helpless as her little kidneys fail :(.
Everything is going to be ok... just the way God planned it :).
I guess none of us live forever? Yup :-|
 
Hi Krystina. I wondered about how you were doing. Congrats on going OTJ! I’m sorry about the CKD though. It cat I’ve had has gotten it at some point but none of them passed because of it. Love your picture! Enjoy your Nelli valentine.

Thanks Elise,
Know this, your thoughts for Nelli and I help- so much and I greatly appreciate them/you :bighug:... Nelli does too :cat: :bighug: :cat: :bighug: :cat:.
Thanks again ❤️❣️,
N & K

Oh, Nelli! Nelli, you look pawsitively exquisikitten! You're so mewtiful! You're just like a queen out of a storybook!

I've made you a catnip cake with tuna nougat icing and, um, sweethearts (like we are:oops:) on it. It's very important that you eat up some foods, Nelli!

Then I'm going to put a quarter in the jukebox so we can dance to Our Song.

XOXO,
Felixoxo:cat::kiss:

[Nelli dear, you're a very good provider. But I think your mommy would rather you bring her a bag of potato chips. Mousies are our friends. --Auntie Susan]

Hi Krystina! Nelli is almost as much of a cutie as my Bandit. Sorry but I am biased! ;)
Btw, how come she has kibble? I thought that was a four letter word on this forum!
First off Bandit is sooo handsome- Thomas J that is :cat:
Welcome (little late :rolleyes:) to FD Forum!!

Nelli and Kibbles :confused::
She has early stage III CKD, one of the most important things I’ve learned is that a kitty has to, has to eat no matter what it is they eat.

This makes up her daily diet. BG numbers not affected!? :bighug: :cat: :bighug:

Before switching her to Young Again Zero kibble, Bandit was on Farmina N&D Grain Free kibble. But she is very carb sensitive and was seeing much higher numbers. Her numbers came down by 100-125 after switching her to YA.

She really really loved the Farmina kibble and just about tolerates the YA. I feel so bad, but what to do? :-(

Nelli LoVeS Farmina kibbles... I’d switch her around between Rad Cat (http://www.radfood.com/blog/the_rad_cat_fda_experience.en) & Farmina digestion (she had little belly aches was how kibbles first came into her life) before she became diabetic.
I continued to give her seven kibbles on top of some raw food or in the goats milk while she was on the h juice- It was like a treat... seven little kibbles I thought couldn’t do that much damage.
Maybe if you try 7 or less Farmina kibble on top of the YA she be hApPy :cat:!?!
See if this won’t have n effect on BG numbers?
Just a thought... ECID and you know Bandit best :)
Let me know if you try :bighug:

Hi Susan, We’ve been away for some time... Felix has been on my mind (Nelli too :cat:).
How is sweet little Felix doing?
 
To My Beautiful Nelli:kiss:--

Thou art softer than a tummyrub on the belly,
More exciting than a treat from the deli,
More scrumptious than tuna (and less smelly),
My super-sweet, tender-hearted, beloved Nelli.

XOXO,
Felixoxo:cat:

Hi Susan, We’ve been away for some time... Felix has been on my mind (Nelli too :cat:).

Felix's respiratory rate seems to be creeping up again, so we may have another round of med adjustment and follow-up bloodwork coming up. Ugh. But he's of good cheer, with a good appetite and lovin' the snuggles.

He's often with his phone in his paws, texting away. I assume it's usually with his FDMB friends, especially Nelli. We hope she's feeline all right and eating her food. And although I'm proud of her for being such a good purrvider, I hope she's not continuing to bring Mommy her catch-of-the-day! :bighug:
 
Oh gosh Felix... my heart is dancin all around!
What a beautiful poem. I've been missin you Felix, wondering how, my Felix was❣️
Please Felix take good care of yourself... pay attention to your heart :cat:❣️see you later, see you soon:cat:
❤️, :cat:
Love Nelli
Nelli doesn't look too pleased to be wearing that bonnet, lol.
Good Lord, please tell me that's not a real mousie !!
Susan,
Yes it’s real! What is most amazing (let alone her age, 21 :cat:) is that she is 100% blind and hits the juggler vein spot on :woot:. Did I post the video of her crunch, crunch... beheading it? That video is a trip!
The bonnet was too small for her little head :-|-
She was such a trooper though... very excited, (actually) to wear for Felix :cat:.
I see your little young man is looking dOWn at 4?
Hope you are both doing well- it must be frustrating and much work to get those pokes! Do you think it may have turned into somewhat of a game for him?!?

Thanks Elise. I really want/wanted to get an OTJ video on Nelli. It would be a wonderful memory to have when Nelli goes away in body. Do you think I’ve waited too long to contact the (amazing) member who creates these?

I really miss this forum, too.

I would contact her. She was willing to make a memorial for Max but I never did it.
