Yeah we were thinking of sticking to 1.75 too.
I'm Melanie, and this is my mom's (Janet's) cat. This cat has always hated me (haha) so we mostly ignore each other in the house, but she usually seems pretty normal except the excess peeing (and she seems to be getting a little better, especially when we put her in the bathroom at night, and because we are trying to keep an eye on her during the day to make sure she doesn't do it).
She usually has an appetite enough to eat at least half of her canned food. We had been doing her insulin shot while she was eating to distract her, but we had to stop that because she would get so stressed out to eat, so now we do it right before so that she can relax.
She sleeps all day, goes outside for a few minutes if she's bored. Normal cat stuff.
I rarely notice anything strange with her on a daily basis.
