Zippy-Kat's K'Cee Kitty Get Well Soon Thread

[slick]

Oh Tonya......you are one of a kind....that's why I wuv you so much!!!!! I just sang the song and could visualize.....

I'm so happy that KissieKat is making her way back to normal - whatever that is! I do notice though that her collar is red - shouldn't she be adorned with a pretty pink one or does she have an array of colours to be worn according to her preference that day????

Kisses to you pretty Princess. Continue to get better and for God's sake - eat more!!!

Actually in person, it's a rosey-pink. But yes, we do have an array of collars ( ) ... all in a some form of pink.


She really hasn't ate much today. I know the vet said to expect it but it's still worrisome. She used to hang about 13lbs... she's done to about 9lbs. (I asked how low was too low; the vet said he didn't want to see her below 6lbs.)

I picked up a bag of Purina One (thanks for the recommendation) and it's "tolerable." I still get the "I want the junk food" look but she will nibble at it. I took the Friskies completely away last night. Now, she's bouncing between Purina One, Nutro, and The GoodLife Recipe. I bought some chicken liver but really don't expect her to eat it; the only people food she'll eat is popcorn and, occasionally, cheerios. (No hamburger, no steak, no chicken breast.... the girl is PICKY!)

Thanks again... will check in sometime soon.

Oh, beautiful K'Cee! Please eat so you can Get Well!

She's looking great even though she's still not quite back to normal yet. More prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

I woke up at 3.30am humming the "If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands" tune.
I did not clap.

K'Cee continues to act "normal" but she really, really needs to eat more. Yesterday, she hardly ate at all. This afternoon, I got her to eat a fair amount of Nutro by hand feeding her but it's still a ways away from the amount I think she should be eating.

Boiled chicken breast is a no go. Boiled chicken liver is a no go. (Broth off of either is a no go.) Canned/soft cat food of any type is a no go. Baby food (chicken) worked once but not since. She doesn't "do" beef or fish, period, so I haven't even tried. Still looking for a local place that sells Innova.

Any other suggestions? I'm at my wit's end.

How about a little bit of cooked elbow macaroni w/chicken baby food mixed in? This is what my old vet had me feed Puddy when she wouldn't eat and it worked at least for a little while. Good luck w/this. I know how exasperating it can be.

*thumbs up*
I will try this! And that reminds me that I haven't tried rice, either.

Thanks!

HEY - Innova can be had ...

The guy in the Big Brown Truck will bring it to ya.

What Flavour / Type / Recipe does she like?

[zippy-kat]

Thanks, Phred but ... what I'm wondering is if a local carrier would have samples that I could "try before I buy" to make sure she will eat it.
