Ha, ha! At his age and with his medical conditions, he doesn't tolerate people food too well. It tends to make him sick. Doesn't stop him from trying to eat it, though! 😅 I have to guard my plate. He couldn't care less about alcohol though!

Yes! He's on BP meds. His vet put him on Amlodipine. He's been on it about two years now. At his last checkup she upped his dosage. He takes it without too much trouble. I just let the little pill pieces dissolve in a tiny bit of water and add to his wet food. He goes for checkups a couple times a year.Thank you!

Since he's a kidney kitty, has he been checked for high blood pressure? He has very dilated pupils which are a symptom, and at stage three high BP is certainly possible. It's easily managed.

He's beautiful and I hope you have him for a long time yet!
