Michelle,
As Tonya said, I think the amount of food you describe, while not hardy,
is enough that I wouldn't be too terribly concerned. She is eating and
that's good. The behavior you describe, going through different flavors
until you hit just the right one, was so reminiscent of what I've g
Hi Michelle,
When my was anemic and wouldn't eat I tried raw she really
didnt like it most of my cats do not some do. My homepathic vet
told me that I should not feed raw to a fiv/felv cat. That it's
better to blanch it and feed semi raw. Now I know some vets say
yes and some say no. Depending
I know, I have thought of that. But if I give her something that she
actually wants to eat, she eats it and does not cover it. If I cater to
her and keep opening things until I hit what she wants, she covers everything up
until I hit the right thing and then digs into that one. The fact th
Yes, I have some that do it for something 'good' they want to hide, and sometimes for something 'bad' like a hairball or peeing on the rug... You just never know! My latest cat, Mama Kitty, the one who had lived with the ferals, had 2 or 3 litters, and had her stomach 'skinned'...

I don't know Michelle. Most of my cats are on the rather 'plump' side, and they don't eat that much. Are you sure she normally eats lots more than this, or are you just maybe paying more attention to what she's eating since she's been sick? A jar of baby food, a spoon of wet food, and even two s

It depends on how much she ate. If she's had enough to eat there would have been time for her to get sick. If you're feeding her sparingly it might take a little longer. An overful stomach can lead to diarrhea and/or vomiting just by itself.. That's why I would err on the side of cautio
Michelle, If I were you I would offer what she'll take, but try mixing in little bits of what you want her to eat that she's not eating. I don't think there's been enough time for it to make her sick yet if it's going to. For that reason I'd keep giving her small amounts at a time. I wouldn'

Hi Michelle,
As with Lucy, the only thing that helped Gypsy regain formed stools was
a raw diet. When Lucy was having elimination problems, I was going to
suggest switching from TC Instincts to adding your own sups, that way

Can she eat cooked turkey? Try the turkey and cooked rice (a subset

Several books show turkey is a major allergen for cats. Kitty, my
