Looks like Cassius' "jumping drops " are going to help! 2 ounce bottle

We have a grumpy 17 year old cat named Cassius. Just a few years ago (when no one was looking) he could jump from above ground onto a kitchen counter or onto the top of a freezer, but his age is showing. Sometimes he was in significant pain, and he made unsuccessful attempts to make even small jumps, even jumping into our laps. We helped him and asked if his "bridge" was broken. He was very defensive at times when he was touched on his thighs, so that must have been his problem. He's been getting a daily dose of his sweaters for about a month. His eating is pretty sporadic, he only eats kibble throughout the day and tends to get sick pretty quickly if he eats too much or even a little the wrong thing, so we decided to give it to him direct. At his size he should probably be getting 2ml but we gave him closer to 1. Overall he is taking meds/pills fairly well as you would expect from any cat with something stuffed in his mouth (our other cat couldn't do it if it arrives). I wouldn't say he's particularly attracted to the taste of these things, but it doesn't seem to bother him too much, plus he gets a treat afterwards. First, the drops don't upset his stomach, which is always a gamble with this cat, but they seem to help. Cassius' aged owner's joints suffered, but he felt fine. I wouldn't say it's a day/night difference, he still sleeps and complains a lot, but his mobility seems to have improved with this product. I didn't notice him sneaking up to the kitchen counter, but his more age-appropriate jumps seem to be performed with more confidence and less pain. He used to have bad days trying to jump on my lap and couldn't even get his hind legs off the ground - I haven't experienced that at all since we gave him this supplement. It could just be a coincidence but in the last month Cassius has gotten a lot nicer and started purring a lot more so I'd say there's a good chance he's just feeling better and I'm inclined to think that it is due to this supplement. helps his weary old joints! I'm always a bit skeptical of animal products like this, mostly because you can't just ask if it'll help them. In many cases such a supplement may have little or no effect, but pet owners will continue to use it because they simply cannot be sure that it will NOT help, but that is not the case here, at least not with our cat. Your mileage may vary but I am very impressed with this product and will continue to use it. FYI, the bottle sold is 2 oz (59 ml) so that's a 1-2 month supply depending on how much you give your cat. I don't think the quantity is actually listed anywhere in the product description, although you can see "59ml" on the label in the photos. The listed price per ounce is correct for 2 ounces, but the product details say it's 4.83 ounces - that's the shipping weight of the bottle and contents! I highly recommend trying this product for any older cat with obvious joint issues, but I'd like to see a seller somewhere clearly state that it's a 2 ounce or 59 ml bottle. I don't think this is a scam, a 2oz bottle is pretty standard for something like this, but I feel like the customer doesn't have to zoom in on the label to see how long the product lasts!
