I've tried all sort of "treats" but he turns his nose up at all of them. I'll give the caviar a whirl since he seems to like fish flavors the best. Thanks!

Did you have blood work done on the kitty? Weight loss and poor appetite can be from a lot of problems, like kidney failure or maybe diabetes.

The symptoms listed are the exact ones my Beau had before his hyperthyroid diagnosis. For most cats hyperthyroidism makes them extremely hungry and skinny, but in some cases, they loose their appetites entirely. Beau eats much better since he went on Tapazole.

Hmmmm... hypothetically, I have no idea. Realistically I might have oodles of suggestions. Like this afternoon Abby was enjoying my shrimp fried rice. I had all the fried rice while she had all the shrimp. :p

Hypothetically, I bought a couple flavors of Nutro and a couple flavors of Eagle Pack Holistic. We'll see if imaginary kitty likes any of those!

He was blood tested. He's on pills for hyperthyroidism but it doesn't seem to make a difference. They also checked for diabetes (I'm diabetic myself so it's always my first suggestion! :rolleyes: ) but his glucose is fine. He's so fussy with what he'll eat..only a tablespoon at a time..but he's been this way for over a year so maybe he's just a skinny minny. The vet checks him regularly. My other two are tubbies so maybe it's just the contast. :D
He seems happy and a chatty siamese. Thanks for the input!

When Kuhio was near the end of her life, I tried everything to tempt her to eat and keep some weight on her 'ole bones. I would mince up hooman lunchmeat and cheese as tiny as possible and that would get her interest. Also hooman baby food was always good. It was easy for her to eat and digest.
