Yes maybe. I think my dad was a ship's cat so we could be related. We are a handsome pair of devils
What a sweet-faced little suncatcher Artie is! Well, your reported started out well, for which I'm sure we are all glad. I don't recall if you have said anything about B12, but I know it really helped my Sun with is energy and his appetite. He got his in injections from our wonderful vet.Good Morning, Artie's Army!
Artie began eating, a tiny bit, last night, around 7pm. I did not make a big deal of it. I just let him go, at his own speed. As far as his not being interactive; I just kept going over to him, petting him, and telling him that I love him.
He ate about 3/8 of a cup of food.
He was on my lap while I was watching TV.
Again, just before bed, Artie pooped 7 inches!! thick stuff. He waits until I am getting ready for bed!!
Last night, he came into the kitchen, as I was getting his food for the night. He came up to me, gave me his little grumpy mewofh..(his poopy voice)... then left. I went over to see where he went. He was waiting for me outside his bathroom doorway. As soon as he saw me, he went into his litter box, and started digging... and pooped.. He seems to always have a piece stuck.. it does not all fall off.. I have to wipe it off, or it falls off when he jumps out of the box.
Man, have we trained each other!
Artie woke me up this morning; actually, I was up. I did not sleep well. I am holding off on getting a new mattress..sigh
He came over, meowed in my ear, and waited for me to get up.
I noticed that I forgot to shut the cover to the toilet..sigh.. I think Artie was drinking out of it...
He did vomit a bit of foam when I got up... no pee in the box.. that is really strange. not much pee yesterday.. still giving him 100 cc sub-q's daily..
No food today.. as of yet...
LTS3 I am apprehensive to give him Forti-flora. It has chicken in it. I do not not want to overdue it with chicken, because of his allergy to it.. If I remember correctly, it states meat by-products or such... who knows what that really means...
I do have an appetite stimulant for him. I use it quite often. I am not using it now, because I do not want him to get accustomed to it, or to get into the serotonin syndrome. He is very sensitive to even Cyproheptadine. It makes him a bit crazed, after 5 continuous doses.
NVet told me to give him one dose, daily, as needed. I am going to see how today goes.
Right now, I have the windows, and the balcony door open. Artie is sunning himself. sweet baby.

I agree Midi is not himself on hot humid daysOf course humidity can affect Artie, how could it not? As can barometric pressure, thunderstorms, just about everything weather, even inside with air conditioning (or heating in the winter).

My three, and other beloveds in the past, have always done what I call food striking on hot days. Sometimes they eat a little; other times, it seems they are not eating at all (though they do -- it would be cause for concern if they didn't). As long as Artie is drinking water, eating something, and eliminating, he is doing well and he will eat more when the weather is better and/or he decides to.I was out of the house for over 4 hours. Artie did not eat anything. He did pee just a bit.. sigh.. I am praying we are not having kidney issues...
I gave him a Cerenia, just in case... of course all of this happens on the week-end when the specialist is not in...sigh
Wouldn't you know it.. now, when I just bought a bag of food for him. I think I have enough until Wed or Thursday, but I did not want to cut it short. I got it at my regular Vet's instead of going into Boston for it. They only had 2 bags. I think they get the delivery in on Thursdays?? but not sure. I do not know if it is a big seller in there. I think a lot of people do buy food through Chewy, and they are really good about sending Chewy prescriptions.
Artie did go over to the food, but walked away. Kind of suspicious of a flare, because he vomited foam this morning; as he did the last time...sigh
So I am doing tuff love... until Monday..
It is also so unbelievably hot outside. Even though the AC is set for 71 degrees, I wonder if the heat/humidity can effect Artie. I know it still effected my dad... weird..
