I'm vegetarian and just HATE feeding beef. ugh...... I'll try more
clothespins. lol. HOw long is your tubing? Mine is soooooooooo long. I'm
going to ask for a shorter one. I think that would be help.
Thank you so much for all your help.

Not Belinda but FF Minced Beef and Sliced Beef are both low in
phos. Mine preferred the Minced Beef. Also rotating flavors is a good idea. I
have a selection of 6 flavors I use so they only get a repeat every 3 days.
I didn't have to use the clothespins but have read where folks have used up
to 6. Just depends on what your cats need. As far as giving the fluids, I
hang the bag from a hanger from the stair railing. It is high enough for the
fluids to flow but low enough so I can read the nos. on the bag. Pequita lays
on my lap for her fluids. I've read where some have set up their fluids on a
pulley system so they can raise and lower the bag. Many hang the bag from a
kitchen cabinet or shower curtain rod. Just a matter of finding a method that
works for you and your cat.

Yes I did that with Fred he would turn around and bite me, so we did
the clothes pins. He didn't get all mellow and happy BUT he couldn't
reach me to bite me so after using the clothes pins for a week or so he
just gave up and decided to give in. Now I just go pick him up and
carry him to the couch, we do the fluids and the second I shut the
roller off stopping the fluids he is gone, but he is good while we are
doing them, just lays there. Every once in a while he'll still make a
half hearted attempt to get up before we are done but all I do is put my
hand on his chest and tell him not yet and he lays back down. Of course
Fred has been getting daily fluids for almost 2 years now!!
