Amy,
I'm sorry it was time to say goodbye to little Scotch. He looked like
such a character, what a darling face! It's always so hard, it never
gets easier. I can tell from the way you told us about his passing, you
are doing your best to face it stoically. (I can just picture you
crying into your pillow, late at night when no one is looking to you for
strength). Blessings to you and your family. Let us know how the
testing goes and if you have success in fattening up your skinny minny.
I'm thinking of you,
Nina

Many thanks to all of you for the information on dry food. What Nina
said about dry food once being recommended for dental health is what I
had always believed. In fact, I always thought about my mother
saying, "Don't get them started on canned food, or that's all they'll
want!"
We have started feeding our fat cat just canned now. We have a skinny
one (a Siberian who is supposed to be 20 lbs according to breed
recommendations, but is only 9 despite being an adult at least 3 years
old) that will be allowed to finish the dry we already have in the house.
Incidentally, we had to let our Scotch go yesterday. He was severely
anemic, and his prognosis had no real hope in it at all. He taught us
so much - we'll be better able to care for his sister and distant
cousin who are still with us and healthy, and scheduled for testing
this Friday.
Best,
Amy
