    Thank you, Heidi, from all of us.

    She's not eating much at all now. Last night she ate a (very) little of a serving of Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Chicken Hearts & Liver Feast in Grilled Chicken Flavor Gravy.

    This morning she acted like she wanted some kibble breakfast, and I gave her some Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline Formula with Roasted Venison & Smoked Salmon, which she seems to like better than the Meow Mix I gave her a few days ago. She ate some but not much. I left it out for her to eat at her leisure and went out for a while. Much of it was still there when I got back.

    I picked up some baby food today, and mid-day she ate some (not much) Gerber Ham and Gravy baby food, after a little bit of the juice from some Rachael Ray Nutrish Chicken Purrcata.

    (All these extravagant names for cat food and baby food varieties.. Marketing! But they sound like things she just might find juicy and appetizing, so worth trying...)

    I feel so helpless. This is all happening so quickly.

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Pat, there's no way you could have ever been ready for this. Even though Poppy knows that something is different, all she wants is for you to be with her.

    This morning I got a sample-bag of some kibble called N&D Natural&Delicious adult cat food, cinghiale e mela, or as they kindly translate, boar and apple. Never heard of that combo for cats before, but Poppy has been eating more of it, so far, than other things I've been trying. If she keeps up with it, I'll get her a bag tomorrow.

    She ate maybe a tiny bit more of it, but she's not really interested in any food, wet or dry, that I've been trying on her. And her abdomen has kind of swollen up, as if she was suddenly quite fat.

    She is up and moving around some, so she's not completely comatose. She got up on the bed with me when I was waking up this morning, settling on my left shoulder as I was lying on my right side.

    Make sure that you keep an eye on her breathing. A distended abdomen could mean that there's fluid in it. You might want to consult with the vet about that.
