Dear Kitty -

[kyburg]

Please get with the program and start feeding yourself again. Really. We don't like stuffing that disgusting, foul-smelling crap down your gullet anymore than you do. And we also don't like fishing you out from under the bed with a broom, insisting you take a pill twice a day and squirting that nasty orange stuff into your mouth. Really. We don't.

We know it was a lot just bringing that boy home - and OMG, we were gone for a whole week prior to that.

But come on. We know you're close - you keep sneaking bites here and there with relative success. You're definitely interested.

But if we don't make you, you don't do. Well, not enough to keep from starving to death, you dope.

You like your place in the sun, you like us - and we'd like that to continue.

Want more time for pets, kitty. Really really.

Go eat something. Please.

Have you tried pill pockets? They might work for the non liquid stuff.

heh I tried those once with my very hard to pill cat and it worked like a charm...for the first 2 attempts. Then she caught on and refused them from there on out. Silly cat. I mean, why not just take the pill the easy way because clearly you're getting it one way or the other so wouldn't you rather it NOT be shoved cruelly down your throat??? *g*

When I had elderly cats that stopped eating, I got some super-high-nutrition cat food that didn't smell all that bad to me. I think it was supposed to be tasty to cats. But YMMV.

What is it you're using? NutraCal? Poor kitty (if not, that's a quick and efficient albeit not pleasant way to get calories into an anorexic cat).

Have you tried putting her feeding bowl somewhere she might think you're not looking? Because maybe more privacy will make her nibble more? Cats are strange that way.

Best wishes to your furball.
