Wow - great news on Mr Meow! Braveheart cannot be far behind!
I think the force-fed food has to be mashed up with water, right? Have you put some goop in a dish and seen if he'll do more than lick it? Feed stinky stuff? Sorry, don't mean to offend as you look after cats all the time. Just adding to the "EAT, Braveheart" vibes.
Maybe he's afraid to chew much because his mouth hurt for so long.
Hey, Braveheart...nibble some more. Come on, now.
I hope his levels are even better than before. That dear boy has had a long haul.
Have he and MM met?
