    Lisa, I don't know what kind of canned food you're feeding, but I've found that most of the pieces are so soft that they can be easily mashed with a fork. My Grey Boys outside won't eat pieces, chunks, shreds, etc., so when I accidentally bought some, I just heated it, smashed it all really well with a fork, and they cleaned it up. Might be worth a try until you get a processor.

    Thanks Sharon. That's what we're doing for now. I add a little water and mash it up. She still won't eat it all, but we are getting more calories into her.

    I don't know why cat food manufacturer's don't market kitty gravy. I've found dog gravy food, but never for cats.

    Cammie-Cat is doing well. Sleeping in front of the fireplace - snoring away.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Well, that's me, Lisa - old, befuddled, and a day late & dollar short!
    At least you're getting something into her and she's holding her own. The small food processor certainly looks like what you need. Good luck!

    When Tinkerbelle got fussy (she had all her teeth) to entice her to eat wet food, I did the tiny food processor thing for awhile, but I also found buying the pate type cat food, and making a chicken broth to mix with it, just enough to make it lickable..she devoured it...and it was much less work for me...and it adds calories.

    I boil a chicken breast, use the broth to keep in a container in the fridge and add it fresh to each meal..you might want to nuke it for a few seconds to make it more palatable and it's much more enticing warm. Good for about a week in the fridge. You can also freeze it in ice cube containers for individual meals if you want to keep it longer.
