Over the week-end, Artie was not eating much. Yesterday morning, I gave him one dose of Cyproheptadine. I waited, and waited... still not improving his appetite.
Artie slept all day. Finally last night, he decided he was hungry. He ate 3/4 of a can of food and some dry.
During the night, I left the other 1/4 can out for him, along with 1/3 cup of dry.
Artie was waking me up this morning, wanting food! He ate about 1/4 can for breakfast.
He is sunning himself, right now.
As far as his stool: 2 episodes of 6 inch soft plops. One in the box, when I woke up yesterday; with the other one just before I went to bed. I saw him sitting near his bathroom door. I told him to go, "Dig, Dig, dig". He went in his litter box. I had forgotten to scoop it during the day, so some pee was in there. He showed it to me, and walked out. I scooped it up, putting him back in the box, with the bathroom door closed. He grumbled at me, a "Ny-yah", then proceeded to dig, with me coaching him on. Yup, kind of poop on demand! That is when he did the 6 inch soft pile of poop....and I could go to bed!
When he woke me up this morning, it was way too early for me. I stayed in bed a while longer. He was not happy, waiting on the windowsill for me to get up.
Once up, he started yelling at me! running into the kitchen... his bowls were licked clean.
I had to give him his dose of cisapride and his pepcid before I could feed him. Artie was not happy about that.
Once it was time for him to eat, I asked if he wanted, "Num-Num?"... he jumped down from his cat tree, ran over to the kitchen, yelled at me some more, went in-between my legs, and ate.
His tummy is full, so he is basking in the sun, smelling low tide, listening to the doves cooing, and the traffic in the distance. Peaceful.
