Casey is currently 9 years old. She was adopted by my daughter quite a few years ago. When my daughter married a wonderful man that was terribly allergic to cats, Casey came to live with me, along with her "brother" Rocky.
Casey is the Queen of the house and struts around like she owns the place. She has adjusted very well to her new home.
This past summer we almost lost Casey to liver failure. Fortunately, Teresa noticed that Casey was jaundiced and very thin and brought her into the vets immediately. The vet gave her a doom and gloom prognosis. We decided to keep her alive as long as she would eat on her own. It took trying out several brands of canned foods, but eventually found one that she loved to eat. That food saved her life. She has completely recovered and has reclaimed her throne in my house.
