WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU TIGER, PLEASE GET WELL.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will pick up some A/D at the vet the next time I'm in town. Might do the trick!

I'm so sorry to hear that Tiger isn't doing well and that he refuses to take the Transfor Factor. He looks great in the video though. I'll continue to keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
Thanks guys.

I am so sorry to hear this....
Did you try the soy ice cream or yogurt? How about in a chunk of raw stewing beef?
Maybe...Tiger isn't too worried about getting better....maybe he feels fine about what is happening, better than the humans do...
HUGS to Tiger...
I have tried the soy ice-cream and got a thumbs down from the big guy.
I might try some beef though. He doesn't eat alot now, just a bit here and there. He wouldn't take on a piece of beef unless it was a shred of it. Even when I give him deli meat I have to tear it into the tiniest pieces these days if he's going to eat it. But I'm thinking that maybe some raw ground beef might work? Tiny miniature raw meatballs with the med powder mixed in.

What a shame that Tiger doesn't want the TF but he seems to be doing ok. My Puddy is sitting next to the computer and, when she heard him purr, she watched the video w/me. I wish I had some answers for you. I'll surely continue to pray, though.
He has his good moments throughout the day. But if we spend too much time outside or walking around, he's in rough shape the following day is really gaspy and stuff. It's hard to watch. Right now he's sitting on my desk while I type and seems to be having a good moment. We'll take as many as we can get.

I wish I could think of something you haven't tried already.... my old kitty used to like to lick NutriCal, so we would put his medication in that. One time I went to a friends house, and there mom had left over shrimp, so I put some in a blender so that it was like a paste, added in the medicine, and Sydney ate it. Your kitty seems to be really really smart. Tiger is in my prayers and I will light a candle and send a special prayer you and Tigers way.
That's neat the your cat and Mary's cat both were listening to Tiger's purring! I've got some NutriCal and Tiger does like it. I've snuck some TF in there a few times but lately he just isn't up to the super goey stickiness of the paste. He just turns his nose up at it and walks away. I think it makes it harder for him to swallow and stuff which he is already struggling with. I tried to thin it out a bit with some water but it just made it turn weird and then Tiger REALLY didn't want it. lol
I like your idea of blended shrimp though. He might go for that. I'll let you know.

Thanks everybody for your thoughts and ideas. I brought home some 10%cream today after work and tried that and it was vetoed. I also bought some whipping cream that I will blend up tomorrow and see if he'll eat. Maybe I will add some real salmon juice and make salmon whipping cream. That might work!
