My 15-year old kitty weighs a whopping 6 pounds. (I'm being sarcastic, for a cat her size she should be double that at least!) She looks like one of those wild kitties she's so skinny. But wild kitties are only a few years old, not 15... It looks like we don't feed her!

Luckily she is still as happy as ever. She talks a lot, cuddles a lot, and still runs to see us. She still even chases her tail! But this morning she walked across me in my bed, and it was like getting a massage. It used to be she'd walk on me and every step would make me say "oof!" She's just so small!

The lump on the right side? That's my leg. 

Well, the kitty has something called hyperthyroid. Her thyroid is working too hard, so that's why she's so hungry and skinny all the time. She just burns calories too fast! (Man, this sounds like an awesome way to lose weight.)

Luckily it is curable- we just have to feed her a special food with the medicine mixed in. She might have kidney problems too though. But we are going to worry about one thing at a time.

Man, getting old just sucks.
