Kit Kat is doing really great. She is a nervous girl but gets braver and braver every day. She is very attached to me - follows me around unless I go downstairs (she’s still too nervous!). She sleeps either on top of me or right next to me every night - LOVES to cuddle. I believe she may have separation anxiety as she wants to be touching me 24/7 and cries if I have to leave her.
She definitely presents with symptoms of hyperthyroidism - drinks a ton of water and gets restless at time. Her appetite is sometimes really good but other days she doesn’t eat much - I am trying to get her to eat a lot and gain weight. Uses the litter box normally, pees a lot as she drinks so much water. She takes her medication like a champ though.
She is not a fan of my other cat, she growls and hisses if he’s nearby at all. There hasn’t been any physical contact between them, I’m just waiting and hoping she warms up more and gains interest in meeting him. He’s a patient and friendly boy and hasn’t reacted to her, he respects her boundaries and runs away if she hisses at him.
