    We may have an answer.

    I decided to switch Cole to a less expensive sensitive digestion food, by Iams.

    I took some over to my mom's place to see what Binky thought.

    He loves it! Even though he has few teeth, the pieces are small and he manages fine, just as he does with the Greenies digestive treats.

    Mom also asked me to find a different brand of turkey and giblets as well as chicken-liver feast. I found them both in Max cat.

    This is a cat who has been eating Fancy Feast and Friskies all his life and threw up a lot of the FF.

    Fingers crossed that this works. It'll be easier on Mom and easier on Binky - how does one rehome a 16-year-ols Lilac Point who is totally bonded with one person?

    Prayers for you, your mom, and Binky, that the new food works out just fine and Binky moves successfully with Mom to the new place.

    I lit a candle for you too: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=22168252

    All the best!

    Please consider contacting your vet about OTC meds and doses.

    Thanks, Jessika. The new food IS working!

    The only problem with meds is that my mom has atypical Parkinson's, and administering meds in any form would be troublesome. All Binky's lab work - blood and pee - was excellent.

    Even though the kibble is left out at night, Binky still likes to "yell" at my mom during the night, which used to be her signal to feed him. I hope he settles down!

    Why can't she mix the Pepcid into the wet food? The other option is that it does come in a pill format for people, so she could get the pills split and use Pill Pockets (the world's best invention )
