Mobli

Mobli is fighting a lost battle ...

RAW

Since a couple of days I've been feeding Mobli raw meat.

He was getting thinner and thinner and wouldn't eat any cat food.

No longer half the cat he used to be, we were afraid of losing him.

He lost his athletic steady walk and started walking unstable, lost a lot of weight
and energy, couldn't wash properly and his eyesight got really bad.

Desperately I asked the kenderman to bring Mobli a chicken fillet,

originally planning on boiling small pieces of meat for him.

That's when the kenderman proposed to feed Mobli raw chicken meat.

Last Saturday I gave it a try and he started wolfing down his food right away.

Two days in a row he's been eating raw chicken and today I gave him some raw salmon.

He's still skin and bones but you can see he's feeling a little bit better.

When we came home today we couldn't believe our eyes...
Mobli was lying on top of the gate after barely being able to jump on a chair/my lap for days!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'm not giving up on him yet

but I know Mobli has become tremendously vulnerable.

But he's purring loudly when he's on my lap... even while I try to give him a wash.
Only his mouth (you can see why), hind-legs and tail can do with some extra care.

I can't understand why but the rest of his fur is shining!
Mobli ROCKS ★

Lazy Weekend

Today is a gray day and perfect for a lazy afternoon on the couch watching a movie.

Mobli's condition is getting worse so I'll be spending a lot of time with him ☆

Hope you will enjoy a nice lazy of even active weekend!

Zing!

The last couple of days we have been working in the garden.

Spring has finally arrived!

There Comes The Sun

Mobli has had a couple of rough weeks because he was sick again.

Taking him to the vet is way too stressful so we could only hope for the best.

I'm not sure if it was his diabetics, his kidneys, his old age or a poisoned mouse.

For several days he wasn't eating or drinking. Now skin and bones.

Then it suddenly hit me...

All the things I offered him while he was feeling sick, he considered a risk.

The reason he got this old is just because of his cautiousness.

So I tried something else and he started eating straight away.

Today I visited the pet shop and I bought a lot of different kind of cat food.

Just to get him started and to try and get him back on a special kidney diet again.

We soaked up some sun together and I hope we have at least another spring and summer!

Eames Expo

 Today we visited the Eames exhibition in C-mine Genk.

Ray and Charles Eames are two of my favourite designers.

A real bummer... your not allowed to take pictures ☹

That explains the poor quality of the next photos.

I could surely use a better (spy)phone!

Finally I got the courage to grab my camera for the last two photos...
