Dreamwidth turned 10 this year (perhaps more on that later). So will Yellface (belovedest finally got access to her microchip, and it has her actual birthday).
After the vet observed that she's underweight, we have started giving her lunch or other snacks. She's looking better and feeling better when held. She's also less frantic leading up to meals, which makes me feel somewhat guilty. I just thought that she was concerned that if she didn't remind us she wouldn't get fed, as a holdover from her rough youth.
Her thyroid levels are ... hella. Vet has prescribed meds to start, but recommends irradiating her gently. She's been accepting the meds, since we've been hiding them in cheese.
I did some of the background reading on the radiation treatment, and I'm pleased with what I've found. The fun part will be isolating her and storing the hot kitty litter until the half-life says it's cool again (not all that long, but still). She'll have radioactive drool, which is great because she drools when petted.
