    Hi Gina, I haven't frozen the meat, but usually it would not be long out of the refrigerator when I gave it to them. There's only a small piece left now. (Thanks for reminding me! I just took it out of the refrigerator and will let it warm up for a while before serving.)

    I will try some chicken for the next time. Thanks for the heads-up about livers, Gina. I wouldn't have thought of that if you hadn't told me.

    I don't think I can get some right away. They are talking about nasty ice-storm weather around here over the next day or two or three...

    Today Priscilla had, besides her usual servings of MaxCal and KD kibble and subQ fluid and meds, a little more Fancy Feast Elegant Medley Yellowfin Tuna Florentine etc. etc. and a bit of 9 Lives Ocean Whitefish Dinner.

    She often purrs for me, does headbumpies, will hug me with her paws on either side of my neck. She is a very sweet little girl. She is still light as a feather, but I hope she is putting on a bit more weight. (3/10 of a pound at her last vet visit!)

    Thanks again everyone for all the encouragement and good wishes and love.

    Love,
    Priscilla and Pat and the gang

    When my Cats wouldnt eat, I would give them the Royal Canin Baby Kitten Food with Whiskas Ultra Milk.
    That worked although I often had to keep the Other Cats at bay.
    We are praying for Your Priscilla.

    Thanks, Gary and Sandra. I will look for the Royal Canin Baby Kitten Food (is that wet or dry, Gary?) and Whiskas Ultra Milk. Hopefully tomorrow at Pet Supplies Plus.

    That's happens here, too: I try something new that I hope will tempt Priscilla, and the other cats all want it, whether she does or not. (At least it doesn't go to waste if she doesn't like it.)

    The ice storm hasn't hit yet. This morning the TV weather people were all going wild with it: there would be freezing rain all day, turning to sleet in the evening, turning to wet snow, the kind that packs down heavily on everything, for the next couple of days. There was a film of ice on things this morning, and it's been cold and dreary all day. Nothing coming down, though, wet or frozen. Yet. Maybe it's just delayed and will hit later. Don't worry, Sandra, I'm not going out again today, and the kitties don't go out, so we're all safe and warm, thank you!

    Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes, dear friends!

    Love,
    Priscilla and Pat

    We just heard on the radio about all the ice and other elements that are hitting Ohio and OK. But, you are in the state up North(MI), so hopefully you might have been bypassed by the weather!!! The Royal Canin Kitten food that Gary mentioned, I believe is dry food. It is the teeeniest pieces of food you will ever see!!! Keep Safe!!!
