I just made this account so I could post that. My cat is 12 years and still acts like a kitten. I love him so much. But he has lost so much weight from stress probably and not eating. When I left for college his weight got a lot worse to the point we took him in for blood tests and other test. The results were nothing. My mom has left now (who he spends a lot of time with) for a month on business. He will not eat. Nothing. Just like when I left for college. But even after I came back he only did a little better. He's going to starve himself to death. I have tried every trick in the book. I have changed food from hard to soft, then I changed brands and meat content. I bought things that might help if it his teeth that are hurting. I heat up to the food so its warm. I put out hard food for him in case he decides he doesnt like wet food anymore. I have mixed in pure turkey into his food to give him a little incentive. I have adjusted the height of his bowls in case its a eusophagus problem. I have bought new bowls. I have held the food physically in case he is lonely. I sit with him while he eats. I have tried leaving him alone. I have even tried doing the kitten purrito. I am terrified he doesnt have much time left but from when I have read ...he does not act like he is ready to go. He still acts angry when I put him in his sleeping room for the night, he still jumps onto the counter. Still gets into trouble. But I can tell he is weak. He is 7.5 lbs now. I have spent so much money on different foods. I am losing hope. The only thing if any he will eat..is human food. Especially human turkey. But he cannot live on human turkey but it is what I have been feeding him. He has barely eaten in 4 days. I am desperate and he has gone to the vet so many times. I checked for anemia, and he doesnt have IBS or anything else.
Does any one have any ideas? Can a cat survive on human turkey? He acts so hungry so I know he wants to eat but just wont. Will he starve himself to death? Pleass help he is my best friend.
