I took Guildenstern in for a checkup last week because he had become anxious, clingy, talkative and seemed to continuously move from one spot to another. It turns out he has hyperthyroid, so now I have to give him medicine twice a day. We just started the medicine on Friday, but he seems calmer already. When I give him his medicine, I open his mouth and quickly stick the tiny pill down his throat. It happens so fast, that he purrs and looks confused because he’s not sure about what happened. Guildenstern is only 13 years old, but that makes him an old man in kitty age. He was enjoying the afternoon sun from under the garden table, that made a nice grid pattern on him.

Cute!
Thanks!
You know my thoughts on Guildenstern ❤ I'm glad you got this diagnosed and treated now.
Nice pics too!
Thanks! We absolutely have to keep Guildenstern healthy.
Yeah, for sure!!!
Beautiful cat. So what’s the diagnosis?
Thanks! I have to give him medicine for the hyperthyroid. I take him back in for a recheck in six weeks so they can see where his levels are and whether we have to adjust the medicine. Hyperthyroid is easy to treat and control.
Ah, that’s good to know. Yes, it’s a common illness on cats and also human. Thank you for responding.
WOW! Amazing photographs 🙂 Grid pattern of a cat… amazing. Thanks and Love, nia
Thanks, Nia!
Love it!
Thanks, Julia!
As always, beautiful photographs, Timothy! And you can see that Guildenstern is enjoying the warm sunshine…
Thanks, Herman!
Such a sweet kittie, hope he feels better.
Thanks!
Glad old Guildenstern got diagnosed. He’s lucky to have you both as his humans. That is an easy condition to treat. A friend’s cat made it just past 20 years old, and she was hyperthyroid.
Thanks, Lavinia.
Guidenstern is such a sweetheart. I hope he will do well on his medicine. The photos are so interesting.
Thanks, Juanita. Guildenstern seems to be doing better already.
Best wishes to Guildenstern. I always love your kitty photos–keep ’em comin!
Thanks!
Wishing Guildenstern a speedy recovery from me and our four governors of the house.
Thanks! He is doing better already;)
