it's lucky we love 'em
Because cats can drive you crazy. Ming seems to get into a
non-eating mode once or twice a year. Of course, I start thinking about crystals and blockages, and I also start worrying about fatty liver disease.* I have dragged Mingy to the vet's (not good, because Ming is a very shy cat and this stresses HIM out immensely), had him tested, with no useful findings. I then have to get every single food he might possibly eat to see what, if anything, appeals to him. NOW, in desperation, I have gotten his old favorite kibbles, Nutro roast chicken. I see they have been "improved" and no longer make any claim to support urinary health. :-( BUT he actually is eating some of that as I type--those crunches being music to my ears. g I also have gotten some other brands and flavors of wet food (his norm is Wellness chicken). I am reminded that Ming likes Triumph's low-magnesium roasted chicken, so he at least is getting moisture from that. He really doesn't get many calories from wet food though and is more apt to just lick up the extra moisture from the bit of water that I add. *I don't understand how fatty liver disease came into being. It seems like the danger to cats from not eating or eating very little makes no sense to their survival. -- Jean B. |

I had an old cat one time, who was getting near the end, so didn't eat
good......I fed him some "baby food.....meat ones", he liked that. I'd put some on a spoon and hold it in front of him, and he ate some. |
