Took Murray to the vet last night for vaccinations and check-up, and he's lost some more weight since the last time he was in. Three ounces since late July. He's a big boy and can stand to lose a little weight, but I hope he will come to a point where he stabilizes.
Another concern is the fact that the vet found a spot on Murray's back where his fur appears to be thinning. I hope something can be done to prevent it getting worse, but I don't know what could be done...
I found out that hyperthyroidism can be a cause of hair loss in cats, and since Murray's also losing weight, I'm wondering whether he should be checked for that. I e-mailed my vet about it. However, the vet didn't seem too concerned last night, so maybe it's nothing I should worry about.

Hello purrrpleJ!
I don't know how you will look on this but I came by your blog today for the very first time. I've never been able to understand the passion that some have for blogging but I love reading stuff that awakens the mind and inflames the imagination. I think yours is an admirable blog and reading this post and through your archives was interesting. I couldn't resist the temptation to do just that. The more scope it gave to my mind although I was hoping to read and leave quietly without surprising you with any comment. Perhaps you will be inviting me back sometime if you think a counter visit is worth one infringement of your normal routine? I'll look out for your arrival. Until then, take care.
btw: have you seen or read the master and margarita?
