Has anyone here used Cosequin?

Smudge has been getting Cosequin for a little over a year, mashed into his wet food twice a day, although he gets it to protect his urinary tract, not his joints.

As with humans, Cosequin (glucosamine/chondroitin) is a supplement, not a quickie cure. Its bioavailability (the amount a cat or human absorbs out of the amount they ingest) is low, so it has to become a routine part of the diet, and it's more for preventing further deterioration than repairing extant damage (although it does a bit of the latter as well).

If Cocoa's appetite is out of control, you can try giving him Vitamin E. Just puncture a capsule and let him lick it off your finger once or twice a day. It's totally safe for cats, and its only known effect is diminishing appetite. (Smudge says "and tasting really good.")

Snowshoe2, I don't have an answer to your question about Cosequin but I just wanted to say that I think all 5 of your cats are just gorgeous!
I would love it if you could post some photos of them in Cat General and tell us more about them.
Cocoa and Bandit both look so cute curled up in their beds.
