Sparkler's appetite is off

[phesina]

Sparkler did come out last night and ate a whole dish of wet cat food again.. which I watched her eat. The dry food I'd left under the bed was gone when I looked this morning. And this morning she came out from the bed springs again but then headed back in when I tried to look. I put a small amount of wet food under the bed in the hopes of attracting her back out. A little later when I checked again, the food had been eaten, but I don't know if that was by her.

I hope the Convenia is knocking out the stuffy nose. Last night I tried to give her the eye drops the vet had given us to clear up the pink rims of her eyes. I hope that wasn't something that made her not want to come out again.

Oh, my dearest Merlin! I'd love to share your basket with you. I wish you were here so I could do that. It is so lovely to see your sweet face on my Catberry screen again. I did eat some nice wet food last evening so Meowmie wouldn't worry quite as much.

All my love right back to you, my darling, ,
Your Sparkler

Yay, Sparkler!!

I think I need some convenia myself for my stuffy nose today

Well, she hasn't come out at all this evening for me to give her some wet food. I've left dry food in a bowl under the bed, and it gets eaten.. I hope some of it at least is being eaten by her.

I just don't know how to get her out from the bedsprings box. I worry about her, and about all this, so much.

There are under-the-bed storage boxes partly under this, which are high enough to give her a platform to walk on in the bedsprings box. I removed one of those yesterday, and the fabric from the springs box just hangs down. She retreated to where the other storage boxes still are. I wonder if I should take the other two out from under the bed, whether that would really freak her, or if there is some place back in the corner where she could still hide.

Dear Miss Sparkler, could you please come out and try to eat some gushy food for meowmie. I know you aren't feeling well, sweety but it's unsettling for us meowmies when our kitty-kids are not in the mood to eat. Continued prayers for you too

Thank you, Elyse! She must have heard you. At about 11pm (way past my bedtime) she did come out, and she ate nearly a whole can of Fancy Feast!

I feel better when I know she's getting some food into her. Especially some wet food, because she was a bit dehydrated when the vet checked her, and she got some sub-q fluids there.

I get so worried when I don't know if she's eating.

Prayers for dear Sparkler and for Poppaea too. It is certainly hard to watch & wait while they don't feel 100%.
