Priscilla's failing kidneys

[phesina]

Thanks, Sandra. I'm still trying to catch up! Meanwhile, Priscilla continues to hang in there, doing things her way.

Today I found organic chicken at the People's Food Coop, but it's all prepackaged and even the smallest was way more meat than I wanted to get. So then I went to Sparrow's Meat Market, where they didn't have organic chicken but did have free-range, chemical-free, pesticide-free, etc.-free chicken, so I got a bit there. I haven't had Priscilla sample it yet.

Would you mind if we came over? All that food has the Clan drooling!! I hope Priscilla continues to do HER thing and eat!!

Has Priscilla sampled the chicken yet.

Prayers still on the way that she continues to eat and do things HER way.

Thanks, Sandra and Lorraine. Come on over!

We tried the chicken tonight. Priscilla wasn't interested, even after I made little tiny pieces for her and put a few in her mouth. At least she didn't just let them drop out of her mouth but did swallow them. Sydney ate some but left the rest of his serving. Poppy kept taking her chunk out of the bowl and putting it on the carpet and shaking it around, I guess so she could feel more like she had captured it in the wild. Elmer and Peony vaccuumed theirs up. Elmer also finished up Sydney's and Priscilla's leftovers.

I also tried some of the Babycat kibblets in some Milk Substitute. She sniffed it, pulled back, sniffed some more, pulled back some more. I put a couple of drops of the solution on her nose and tongue. She licked them up and seemed to enjoy them but not enough to exert herself and lean over to eat from the bowl. I tried a few of the little kibbles in the milk, putting them on her tongue, and she would eat them, seemingly enjoying them, but again couldn't be bothered to go to the trouble to eat them herself. Then she jumped down, so I put the bowl on the floor, where Elmer polished it off in no time.

As you can tell, Priscilla continues to do it HER way.

Again, thanks for all the prayers and encouragement and good wishes!

Love,
Pat and Priscilla

Priscilla!! You are one very amusing kitty!!! The next thing I thought I was going to read, was that you pawed at the food and tried to hide it. Boo would do that!!! You are making sure that Mom is very much aware that PATIENCE is a virtue!!!! Sandra

Come on now, Priscilla! Mommy is trying very hard to cater to your wishes, please be a good girl and eat up!

I served up some more raw chicken this afternoon. Priscilla was not interested again, even after I hand-fed her several small pieces. Poppy, Elmer, and Sydney scarfed theirs right up. (Peony was snoozing in the closet, so I didn't disturb her.)

Thanks for the encouragement for Priscilla, Sandra and Kim.. Maybe one of these days she'll listen to you! Yes, one must learn patience (or go berserk) catering to the lovely Ms. Priscilla.
