[Felvtalk] spoke to soon, Whimsy not eating again

2010-12-26 Thread Emeraldkittee
after a good morning yesterday, now Whimsy is refusing to eat again.  Tuna, 
sardines, treats, nothing - have to try KFC today.  He is having bursts of 
playing alot, wants to cuddle, then gets pissed off and kicks litter out of his 
box, paces around crying and begging to go outside.  He is depressed and 
angry.  I just can't wrap my head around letting him out in all that snow and 
cold - after we made such progress. We live off a busy street - it's everything 
we got away from with him. The other thing is now he knows we live on the other 
side of the door with other kitties.  Everything was fun until this dr apt and 
the outside door to his room froze over.  
 
I am going to get my vet to call in a cypro rx, but how I will pill this guy, I 
have no idea.  
 
this is so heartbreaking, in light of his excellent check up.  
 
argh.
Shannon

Don't let him get to you - no matter how much he objects.  Pretty soon,
he'll be more than happy to be safe inside!  Have you tried heating up the
food or adding some very hot water to it?  Does he have some toys, catnip to
keep him busy?  BTW, if you get Rescue Remedy, you don't necessarily have to
get it into his mouth - you can place a few drops on the skin on his
forehead or closer to the ear where the fur isn't so dense.  I still think
that Feliway could help a lot.

hi Natalie,
 
Yes, tried heating the food, too, added his fave treats; 4 flavors of tiki, 
regular tuna, regular sardines, kibble, steak from Christmas, - he's got 
several interactive toys that he loves, cat trees, scratching pads/posts, sunny 
windows, catnip toys, loose catnip, filtered water, heat reflecting beds, daily 
brushings and daily feather stick sessions.  I'm wondering if he'd like a 
little tv or some music.   I have never had luck with Feliway nor Rescue Remedy 
though I can try them again with him.  We tried Feliway the day of the vet 
visit. It's so frustrating because he was doing so great!  We feel he is saying 
'I want to be IN the house with you, daddy, and my brothers OR I want to be 
outside.  I don't want to be in purgatory. 
 
I did get an RX for cypro, so I will pick that up, try baby food (onion free of 
course), KFC;
 
When the other boys don't eat, I can syringe, pill them, etc - but lil Whimsy 
still has that feral streak come out.  But we have to try everything. 
 
thank you for your support!!

I know I don't post very often but like to say that I use all of the things I listed below.
Original KFC chicken
Cypro
Rescue Remedy in the water
Feliway plugins
I use and do all of this when kitties are not feeling good, not eating or just in a bad mood if they can't get their own way. My rescue and personalcats do not go outdoors.
Anyway, just my thoughtsgood luck!

Actually, that's a great idea.  Whenever I have ferals, I play radio with
talk shows so that they get used to human voices. But this little guy seems
beyond that stage. After that, classical music is very soothing to cats.

Have you tried the catnip spray??  Have you tried the cheapest tuna or  
maybe raw hamburger (room temp)?  Hot water on top of the hamburger  
brings out the juices and has helped some ferals eat and/or drink  
the juices.  Re tuna:  The nice solid white doesn't work.  Even my  
healthy guys want nothing to do with that...the very cheap, in water  
stuff that may turn your stomach.

When I spend time (in the summer) at feral colonies I feed, I put out smelly/

I have no real proof that it works, but the cats don't seem to mind me hanging

 the day of the vet visit. It's so frustrating because he was doing so
 great!  We feel he is saying 'I want to be IN the house with you, daddy, and
 my brothers OR I want to be outside.  I don't want to be in purgatory.
 
 I did get an RX for cypro, so I will pick that up, try baby food (onion free
 of course), KFC;
 
 When the other boys don't eat, I can syringe, pill them, etc - but lil
 Whimsy still has that feral streak come out.  But we have to try
 everything.
 
 thank you for your support!!

 Don't let him get to you - no matter how much he objects.  Pretty soon,
 he'll be more than happy to be safe inside!  Have you tried heating up the
 food or adding some very hot water to it?  Does he have some toys, catnip to
 keep him busy?  BTW, if you get Rescue Remedy, you don't necessarily have to
 get it into his mouth - you can place a few drops on the skin on his
 forehead or closer to the ear where the fur isn't so dense.  I still think
 that Feliway could help a lot.

 after a good morning yesterday, now Whimsy is refusing to eat again.  Tuna,
 sardines, treats, nothing - have to try KFC today.  He is having bursts of
 playing alot, wants to cuddle, then gets pissed off and kicks litter out of
 his box, paces around crying and begging to go outside.  He is depressed and
 angry.  I just can't wrap my head around letting him out in all that snow
 and cold - after we made such progress. We live off a busy street - it's
 everything we got away from with him. The other thing is now he knows we
 live on the other side of the door with other kitties.  Everything was fun
 until this dr apt and the outside door to his room froze over.
 
 I am going to get my vet to call in a cypro rx, but how I will pill this
 guy, I have no idea.
 
 this is so heartbreaking, in light of his excellent check up.
 
 argh.
