Thank you. After so many sad stories I thought I'd bring some happy news.

Just shows our furry despots have the capacity to surprise us! As an ailurophile I always want a happy outcome.
Thx for sharing.

I’m so pleased for you and your cat that I nearly cried.

She's looking sternly at me as she thinks it's feeding time!.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Sending you my best wishes.

I had a cat years ago who was 14-16 (can’t remember exact age) who was eating like a pig and losing weight.  The vet did some tests and said she had thyroid problems.  The choice was pills for life or a partial thyroidectomy.  I wisely chose the latter.  She sailed through the op and was like a new cat. 

Cats are pretty amazing.  This cat had had most of her tail removed a few years earlier and recovered pretty well.  As I said, cats are pretty amazing.
