Taz,
You behave and eat what's in front of you. Your meowmie ain't a caterer! (only your loyal servant!

)

Thanks Claudia, and I do nuke it ALL the time. The wet food that is. The dry food he seems to be okay with but it has to be fresh out of the bag and he has to SEE me get it out of the bag.

Tonight I gave him Paizly's left overs from breakfast. I know he shouldn't be eating it, but it wasn't very much and I just want him to have something in his stomach.

Awww, thank you, both of you. I will deliver that kiss for Grandma right on top of Tazmoe's head.

It's so hard to get cats to eat when they don't want to, better to let him have a little of the stuff he's not supposed to eat rather than not eat at all. I hope he gets his appetite back soon.

I sure hope that Taz will eat better. Please keep us posted.

With kidney kitties if they don't eat the important thing is to get them eating. It's more important than keeping a diet. The diet is to keep the proteine low. But if they lose weight it means they are digesting their own proteine which is just as bad.
When Filou didn't eat we tried everything especially fatty stuff. Filou got liver pate, goose fat and whatever he liked best. I hope you find something Taz really loves.
10,5 lb is low- but not too bad.
Filou at all times loved the Royal canin Renal dry food. Even Tigris who is healhy loves it. So eating dry food is much better than not eating- and of course you should provide plenty of water.
Sending all best wishes to Taz

Well, in the buckets of Tidy Cat litter there was a can of the Friskies Indoor kitty food. I'm giving him that. And it came with a coupon. So yesterday when I went to PetSmart I bought four cans (of course I forgot to use the coupon

). But before I bought them I looked at the protein percentage and it is only .5% higher than his k/d food (in two of the flavors). So I will see if he likes it. I'll keep the k/d on hand in case he gets bored with the new food and just switch it around when necessary.

Thanks for the kind words and prayers everyone.

I will definitely keep you updated.

Oh, 10.5 is not bad, but Taz is a large cat in general, so he looks very skinny and sickly right now.

And his little sitter is a pest and won't leave him alone.
