You will never guess what happened today. My good friend Nellie is on a run away tour and is in the UK at the moment. Nellie went to see
Speedy who has just had eye surgery and decided she could fit in a quick visit to see me. I was so pleased and watched out of my window waiting for her.
Here she is now.. Hello Nellie......
I am so happy to see you...
Nellie had a drink of cool cat milk to refresh after her journey and nibbled on some prawns and fresh salmon. We the walked in my yard and I showed her my lovely flowers.. We sat and just chatted about all our friends and before we knew it was time for Nellie to be on her way. We had so enjoyed the visit.. Safe journey Nellie... Come back soon...
You can read all about Nellie's journey Here Pop over and see it all..
My vet visit for today..The vet checked me over and listened to what mum had to say. The diagnosis is definitely dementia and when mum asked was I in pain he said in his opinion no I wasn't at all it was just the dementia that was making me yell out. The medicine is helping somewhat and I am using the new litter tray near the door and ignoring all the other one's. Mum and dad discussed the options with the vet and they said so long as I was happy and so long I had quality of life and no pain then they would keep on with what we are doing with the meds and just let me plod on and enjoy life as I want. Quality of life is the utmost important thing.
Love and hugs to everyone.. GJ xx

Purrs to you, GJ. I hope the meds continue to help.
GJ, getting old is a challenge, isn't it? The WDA understands. Being a bit forgetful and losing your place doesn't that life isn't still worth living and enjoying. Let us reassure mum and dad that you still have LOTS of love left to give. There is no pain just some confusion and with their caring support you can still be happy. They will know when that changes.
Sounds like a good report, GJ. Angel Princess and Angel Kitty Wink both yelled out like that, but eventually Mommy finally found things (her robe, extra nighlights) that helped. Good luck! XOXO
We think you have a very sensible vet GJ. My vet said mum would know when her girl Puss had had enough, and Puss became very sad and unhappy at the end. The vet was right, mum knew when it was time.
So we hope you get to enjoy lots of time together.

You know, GJ, getting older comes with its privileges, so what's a little dementia between friends? Keep being happy, Dear Friend.
Glad you got a visit from Nellie!

How fun to have a visitor! I am so very happy to hear that you are not in pain, and you are happy. Aging sure does change things, but without suffering it is just more lessons - life take it easy, be in the moment and accept all the love you can.
Love and hugs and purrs to YOU GJ, and to your mum and dad too.
sending you purrs and prayers GJ!
xoxoxo

I wish things could be better for you, Ginger Jasper, but at least there is no pain. You still know your mum and dad, and know that they love you. keep using the litter-pan, and try to be your old self, you wonderful cat.
G.J, we are so sorry about the dementia. Since you are not in pain, we know it is harder on your mum and dad than it is on you. Hope you can maintain your health otherwise, so that you can continue to do things you enjoy such as having friends like Nellie come for a visit.

Howdy Ginger Jasper, glad to hear you're taking things easy mate. Enjoy that sunshine. A friend once said, getting old ain't for the faint hearted, and they were right. You do what pleases you GJ and enjoy all those cuddles from your mum and dad. We're sending over some hugs to share around too! Take care oh fluffy friend. You're in our hearts. No worries, and LOVE, Stella and Rory
How nice that you had such a nice visit from Nellie, GJ. We love you, pal, and are glad you are not in any pain. And we hope your meds keep on helping. We send much love, purrs and prayers to you, and Mum and Dad., too.
Little GJ we are very happy to learn that you have no pain. It's ok for older kitties to get a bit confused and we hope the medication really helps you with that and you continue to enjoy life to the full. How nice that Nellie visited you

We are so glad Nellie visited you. She is fun to have as a visitor.
Lots of purrs and prayers for you GJ!! We are so glad Nelie visited you!!
Hugs from your TX furiends,
We are glad to hear this report, Sweet GJ! It's okay--we all get a little wacky as we age. I know the Human certainly does some peculiar things! We are glad you are not feeling pain--that is good to hear. I am sure Nellie's visit made you feel happy--she came to see me too ;-) We are purring and purraying for you, Sweet Boy! XOXOXO
WE are glad you are feeling okay GJ. Our cat Megat sometimes forgets where he wants to go also and sometimes he sings loudly in the middle of the bedroom.Quality of life is always the best thing.
your friends

The first Funny Farmer we lost was Jenny and she had dementia, so we thought that might be what you have. We hope you continue to have quality of life for a long time.
We think it was super nice of nellie to visit you.
Mom's Eskie dog Katie had dementia but, other than some accidents, she seemed happy. We hope that you continue to do well with the meds and enjoy life for a long time.
The Florida Furkids
We all grow older, sweet Jasper. It's a part of living.
We just do our best and go on. Our gran cries out at night, can't use the human litter box, and is infirm in other ways. But she seems happy and we are happy for each day. You are always in our prayers, previous one. We love you so much.
Glad to see that Nellie visited you too :)
Me nad mom keep sending (((purrs))) and huggies and hope you have many moore day´s to come <3
XOXO
Meow Ginger Jasper we are glad you are doing better. Yes it is no fun getting old our Dad says. Our Buddy was just yowling in the other room then he comes and sits with Dad again.
Nellie is such a great kitty that is a special visit fur sure.
Purrs from all of us
