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)
