Whilst looking for something else i just found this on fab website and may be of interest to some of you. (sorry if this has already been posted but i've not seen this latest info)

Thanks very much Lynn, cos i dont think most will have seen this and it sounds so like Kocka in her last couple of years, especially the last.
I am sure that Jacksprat will also be very interested, especially in this link that came from yours

Whether it will help her shouting cat if she shows it to her vet, I dont know but I do hope so.
I have to say that Franta is 14 and is getting more and more clingy and louder although part is just his love of attention but when reading about birmans they do not seem to live to great ages on the whole, so I am watching him closely although he was health checked in July.
I will add these links to our health ones, behind the links button above the posts people.............just in case you have never looked there ;D

funnily enough it was JS i had foremost in my mind. I'm sure she'll have read the info on fab but i thought that was a new bit of research they have found or atleast proven.
Quite interesting anyway.

Thanks Lynn. :) I have read it before, but it doesn't hurt to read it again - it's possible I've missed something important. (I've read so many articles on this and diabetes in cats they're starting to blur!)

I found out about it when George started going funny. Very interesting all the new things that keep comming out

I think my puss is suffering from this.
He needs to go back to the vet soon as he has been on felimazole for a week now.
He has started sleeping downstairs now, still crying on and of, still not sure as to any degree of deafness/blindness but somethings off and today he has just been pacing all over the house, back and forth like a lion at a zoo. He's always been a sprayer but has taken a liking to the armchair in the back of the room and it is soaked and I'm have to mop up puddles on a regular basis.
He is 16 now.
I think a vet visit earlier rather than later this week.

Its a shame that our babes cant have curry or coffee as in humans with this awful disease it is showing great results! :( (good for humans tho!)

Well, i never knew that !- i should be okay then -i have at least 1-2 currys a week (hot ones ) and at least 2-3 coffees a day .

It's hard work, Angie. Carrie (Old Mog) was diagnosed with it about two or three years ago and my partner and I both feel we need a holiday due to her constant crying. She's not in pain, just confused but doesn't remember you consoling her so it's really full on. Doesn't mean I don't love her, but she does try my patience a lot.

I agree with JS, its very hard work and Kocka was like this for the last 6 months of her life.

Alice drives us crazy at times with her loud meowing - it is 10 x as loud as a regular one. Also, we think Clapton is showing signs.
PS - I got excited when I saw this thread thinking Lynn was back :(
