    She won't eat wet food - I've tried everything from Friskies shreds that the old vet suggested to all the higher-end brands, she won't touch pumpkin, she won't eat people food. She's even turning her nose up to Fancy Feast. She loves her Evo Wild Cravings treats, occasionally will eat Temptations treats but only if she's in the mood to eat them and is eating the Life's Abundance dry food.

    The Cisapride has given her runny stools, so we're cutting down on that med. She's now hip to the fact that she can flip a pill out the side of her mouth - she's SMART! So she's only getting the appetite stimulant once a day.

    It's obvious she's not feeling well, but all the tests have come back normal. She is absolutely miserable in this heat that we've been having. She hangs out in the bathtub or sink and I spritz her down with water or play with her with ice to cool her down.

    I'm not sure what's next. We have a follow-up appointment with the vet tomorrow.

    Well I know that we've been having a heat wave but I would think that you'd be much cooler being in S.F. than I have been. My cats are still plenty hungry for their food and they let me know it. I hope that Marbles vet visit will go well tomorrow. Please continue to keep us updated about her. This weekend should also be much cooler so hopefully she'll begin to feel more comfortable. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

    Marbles' weight is up and so is she. 9.3 lbs. of Marbles' nuttiness. The vet said to keep monitoring, keep administering .3 ml. cisapride 2x a day and watch the food intake.

    She's pretty much back to being her normal runaway, door darter brat who was also oh-so-helpful (not) when a friend tried helping me with some computer issues yesterday.

    Glad to hear that Marbles is doing better. And what a good idea, to get her a friend!
