Prays coming for Gatsby that soon he'll use the litter box.

Prays,

Gatsby's doing very well! The cone is off, he's using the litter box, and he's pretty much back to his usual routine. The only thing he's being stubborn about is food--it's Fancy Feast or nothing! I'm going to humor him a little longer while he regains some weight, then I'll work on improving his diet.

Yeah, when it comes to wet food, my boys will eat nothing buy Fancy Feast. I've tried all the healthy, organic foods, nope, uh-uh, no way. Open a Fancy Feast can and I've had them come running from two rooms away! It must taste good, they both will eat it and actually finish it!

Yes, my Fur Posse love it, too. They get just a couple of T. in the morning and that's it. My vet said that it's no wonder they love it because it's loaded w/sugar and I may as well give them chocolate cake instead. So I'm looking for something that I know they'll eat.

I'm so glad Gatsby is feeling better! The food thing is always so funny; they want what they want, and that's it! I like what Mary's vet called the Fancy Feast - chocolate cake. My vet calls treats barbecued Doritos!

Yeah, I know Fancy Feast isn't health food. But Gatsby lost quite a bit of weight (he didn't want to eat at all while he was hospitalized), so I figure it's better for now to keep him eating. He eats a little bit of dry food (a mix of s/d and Indigo Moon) in addition to the FF. Pre-surgery, he loved dry food (the s/d in particular) and was less enthusiastic about canned of any variety. Cats!
