There is definately something up with cats and thyroid disease/Kidney disease...Two of our cats have had hyperthyroidism, and the other two had kidney disease. We've had 6-cats in total. It looks like my Charley might be hyperthyroid too. He's having the muscle twitching that my other cats had and weight loss.

My aunt has an absolutely adorable pitbull that I think may have lupus. He has a rash, what seems like joint pain and the worst gas ever (at least that's what my nose thinks)...Poor cutie
