    BraveHeart EATS!

    BraveHeart gave me a wonderful surprize this morning, he ate EVERYTHING I left him over night!

    To clarify, this is what we've been doing.......

    In the morning when I feed my cats their first meal (of 2) I go to BraveHeart's room, give him his medicines, and offer him some food.

    Then, he gets to spend the entire day out with my cats (and us, when we are home). He enjoys this greatly, but I do not leave food out for my cats, so he can't eat again until the evening feeding.

    In the evening (maybe about 7pm) I feed my cats their 2nd meal of the day. At this time I take BraveHeart back to his room, give his medications and sub-q fluids, and offer him some more food.

    I have been hoping I could get him to eat a FULL meal each time, like my own cats do. So far, no. Which is the reason I keep him in his room, alone, over night. I keep food down for him. And he usually eats some.


    But this morning, when I opened his door, I was greeted not only by a sweet little boy, but by 2 EMPTY dishes!!!! One has his canned food which I now mix with turkey (he also prefers me to cover it with water). The other dish was dry food. A new food I found, and he obviously likes! Pet Promise (http://www.petpromiseinc.com/). Nice small kibble, and a seemingly great food all around.

    So hopefully this boy will put on some weight in the next week (he gets blood tests and weighed next Monday)

    Oh joy! What a wonderful sight, I bet you were grinning and sweet talking him and maybe even a bit teary. Keep it up, Braveheart!!!

    Excellent news. I'm going to check out that Pet Promise food. Apparently Whole Foods just up the street from me carries it.

    I hope he sticks with this food for some time.
    With Filou I have to change all the time- there is one food he loves and two weeks later he doesn't like it any more. He may come back to it - or not. I think I know all types of food on the market here
    Way to go Braveheart!
