My lovely cat is probably about 14. I got him from the CPL when he was around 2 although they couldn't be certain. When the CPL found him they tested him for FIV and sadly he was found to be positive. I was told that he'd probably only live for 2-3 years due to this diagnosis but he's proved them wrong! In the last few weeks he's become gradually more scrawny even though his appetite is reasonable. He's also a bit arthritic looking in his back legs. That said, he's his normal chirpy, purry self and despite looking a bit stiff can easily jump on to the sofa or our bed. I've got a vets appointment for next week just to give him the once over although I think that the chances are it's all mostly age related . In the meantime, I was wondering if any of you had similar experiences and if you have your elderly / FIV cats any supplements? Sorry for the rambly post!
