    Sleepy Bella sitting on her steps - I bought them for her to get up on the settee, since she has difficulty jumping now ... and she's got an old throw to sleep on.
    You can see how thin she's gone, because of overactive thyroid, but last week the vet informed me she's regained 0.25 kilos, which is really a quarter of a kilo, and I think that's a lot for a cat.

        Thank you @Bluejayway, She looks rather scruffy since having the thyroid problem, but I'm hoping she'll look better after regaining some more weight.

          Love the steps Michael. Good on the weight gain. What is Bella taking for the arthritis? We think Munchjin is starting to get it!

            Thanks @Victoria, I've got Yumove for Bella, but to be honest I haven't given her any for a while. To tell you the truth the arthritis isn't bothering her very much - although she seems to struggle to get up on the settee in the house, when she's down the garden she can scale the fence and go into the garden next door ! And she can run up the garden path and into the house.
            I hope you can get something for Munchkin if the arthritis gets worse, but I hope it doesn't.

              Thank you Michael. I was thinking of Omega 3 to start but I will look up YuMove.

                I know several people who give it to their cats and dogs and they say it's wonderful - there's a different one for dogs. Bella hasn't taken it long enough for me to give an opinion.

                            Thank you @Michael Hewett.
                            She does seem to be quite bouncy and puppyish after them.
