This year, after I took my television to the dump in early 2016, Tiger has no longer a help in jumping up the shelf anymore. But she started to annoy with the humidifier thing. My house is so damn dry its of no good for our health, so it is a blessing to our air quality. But this machine isnt the best to have it on all day long. Making the carpet moisty and give markings on my furniture. So it is sometimes off, the water resevoir being empty. And so it became Tigers new target. To have the whole thing down on the floor. Every night again and again. Always at 3.30.
Then I decided to put it on the floor while not in use, and she lost interest. She only sees fun in dropping things on the floor from a certain heigth. But then she found something new. My aquarium is long time serving as my Lemax winter village protector. No more fish nor water, I have my lemax village in it, away from cats paws and dust. It works great. But the electicity sockets I just had to have on top of it. The aquarium is too small to have it behind the houses, and the fake snow might cause a fire also. So it has to be on top of the aquarium.
And now every night, Tiger was trying to push all this electricity to the right so it would fall on the floor. The noise was horrible, her bumping the wall echoed into my bedroom as if someone was brutely knocking on the wall, or better so, kicking footballs against it. My little dragon sure knows how to keep me awake.... driving me insane. And it used to be a sign her water ran out or her food if she started to be annoying. But no longer there is a reason I am aware of, she just does this shit in January every single night at 3.30....
Tigers health is still a bit concerning, talking about her stresslevels. In 2015 I had a big renovation going on, when we had to move out for 2 months. Grey isnt dealing bad with it, he loves it to go out and Tiger didnt really show too much stress either though she feels more exciting than Grey does.
But I changed around a few things in my house after the renovation now there were no cats around. But ever since we returned, Tiger shows stress behaviour. She was all covered in bad spots last year, looking like a neglected stray cat. I gave her special calming down food, and Feliway spray. Things got a bit better, but her belly remains an issue, she still licks it when ever she is stressed out on something. I see a clear difference between grooming and stresslicking. I for once thought it maybe was me causing it, I live under stress, and am totally not happy with my current life here. And her stresslevels rise and fall, but her legs stay hairy at least for now. She is mostly stressed out if I am with my computer.
Grey on the other hand.... has become an old age cat, and sleeps all day and I suspect him to be older than I was always told. I think he is 2-4 years older. He has always been a wary eater, seeming to have troubles with chewing. I never really had a chance to look at it closely. The one time I did, I didnt notice something strange.
I noticed Tiger is behaving badly towards him since a few months, and the last weeks he also seems to change behaviour. He is very clingy to me, he often crawls in my arms now when I sleep and stays there until I wake up. He wasnt to be close. And so I noticed this week his bad breath. He has always been sensitive to touch his cheeks. But its getting worse. Yesterday I felt like he was not himself. He is even more calmer and he has a worried look in his eye. Im sure he is trying to tell me I need to help him. And now I had a chance to look inside his mouth, and what I saw shocked me, and made me cry. His molars were covered in brown grey grub, his gums inflamated as can be. It doesnt look good at all, and might be even beyond a normal cleaning would help stage.
Cry because he needs a vet as soon as possible to treat him. But dental care is extremely expensive. Even more so if teeth need to be extracted. I cannot afford it. And right now I am very very afraid I have no other choice than loose him soon. Either by putting him down or to let him die in pain...
Last year I started to save money for cases like this. Because I know this problem would come sooner or later. But thanks to my financial crisis I had to use this money for other things. :( If I cant even afford to stop him from suffering... do I need to let him die in pain??? The horrible thought.... He is such a lovely wonderfull cat... and despite it will make it easier, much easier for me to move to Iceland, I hate the idea. :( It was my plan to take them both with me, and to see it as a help from him to make me go faster, is not making it easier. I know I wished for nature to help me, but now nature knocks on the first door.... Damn....
Keeping it all updated here, at least try to... and if someone wants to help me fund his dental care, it will gladly be appreciated. Just contact me. Even if it is only the pimairy intake... to know what will need to happen next.
I hope I find a solution soon.... I really do. More bad luck I cannot handle. :(
Update: his teeth seem to have improved a little bit, and as soon as work is on the rise again, he goes to the vet to get his preps done for traveling to Iceland. And so does Tiger.
