Ha, ha! At his age and with his medical conditions, he doesn't tolerate people food too well. It tends to make him sick. Doesn't stop him from trying to eat it, though! 😅 I have to guard my plate. He couldn't care less about alcohol though!

Yes! He's on BP meds. His vet put him on Amlodipine. He's been on it about two years now. At his last checkup she upped his dosage. He takes it without too much trouble. I just let the little pill pieces dissolve in a tiny bit of water and add to his wet food. He goes for checkups a couple times a year.Thank you!

Well, he's a kidney kitty (roughly stage 3 ckd at this point) so for the last several years, he has been on Royal Canin Renal support food. A year ago, he went on a phosphorous binder. I used to give him only kibble, but now I mix with wet food. I also bought him a petkit water fountain to encourage him to drink more water. That has been working well! He also gets subq fluids and blood pressure meds daily...well most days.
