Kitties! Mom counts my clumps in the mornings when she cleans out my litter box. Yesterday and today there were 4 clumps. Wait, Today had 5. I always have only 3 clumps until 2 days ago. Three were very small today, like golf balls and two were normal. But that is too much. A bit of increased thirst, perhaps. or a symptom of hyper -thyroid or KD. Blood work will tell us why.
Mom was remembering back to when Admiral was diagnosed with hyper- thyroid. It's been years, but the Dr. had then referred to mom's having thought Admiral had KD when she started seeing too many clumps for a couple of months as he told her that when cats have hyper -thyroid and begin to take medication for it...there are times that underlying KD is uncovered while hyper-thyroid symptoms are relieved. Something about the hyper- thyroid symptoms masking the KD symptoms for a time. Take away the symptoms of hyper -thyroid and the KD will show its symptoms.
*I made mom look it up. Her memory of the event was correct. Here is a link. Sammy and Mom Ellen, have a look as well. Mom hopes that if she catches it decently early with I-131, maybe the kidneys won't be too affected and they will get the blood flow they need. But, if KD is accentuated after her treatment, then, at least it won't be a surprise.*
Sorry for the information in a way, Kitties. Trying to be of help to other pet parents.

We are purring for you, Katie.
Katie Isabella you and Mom have 100 gazillion thoughts and purrs coming over the NC mountains and thru your front door

This is interesting. You remember that I, Simba, had hyperT. And Audrey. Good luck for the blood drawing, Katie. Hate that!
We hope everything works out for you and you get better.
I hope your tests show nothing abnormal, Katie. I am sure they will be fine, but it's best to get everything checked, nonetheless.
We hope and pray for none of the above sweet Katie, you just never know!
I'm purring extra hard Katie that all is good with the blood tests. Your mom bean lubs you so furry much.
We've put your appointment on our kal-len-durr with purrs. Here's hoping this
will just be an unwanted trip in the PTU. But, Katie, your mom must relieve her
mind and continue taking the most loving care of you.
Hope everything turns out fine for you, Katie.
We hope, purr, and pray it's non of those things, Katie! XO
I'm hoping you get a good report, Katie. Most times I pee 4 times a day, too. ~Ernie
Lots of purrs and prayers going out to you for a good report.
Good luck, KI. We are sorry your mama has to count clumps and be worried about them. We will only think happy thoughts for you and know that medicine is amazing and that you are in the best hands for the right care if the clump count becomes a thing.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Hope all is good and nothing serious is wrong.
Hopes and purrs that everything will turn out okay, Katie.
Dearest Katie Isabella,
Kitties, just like humans will age with all sorts of ailments...
Guess there is nothing what we can do and above all, not ADDING to the stress for them nor for us (as it rubs off).
Medications would only further stress the kidneys and worsen them.
Just live day by day and ENJOY those gems as they're given to us!
Hugs,
Mariette
Sending prayers to you
I am sending lots of purrs your way, Katie.
Purring lots for you, Katie! Hugs!
Hope everything turns out okay for you, my dear. I, too, have been living with mild KD issues. My dad seems to keep an eye on what's in my box every morning when he scoops it, and he reports any unusual or off-schedule, umm, findings to mom to keep her abreast of my health.
Sending you all my best healing purrs Katie
~hugs~
