Awe, thank you! I am very self conscious about my right hand. However, I am not ashamed to admit it.

Its ok to be self conscious. Its part of being human.

That is very true! :-)

He is doing well. He played soooo much last night!!! :-D It made my heart smile!
He is still eating and using the bathroom, but he not quite eating what he was. I think it is OK?
He is eating about half of his normal amount. How long should I let him do that before I become concerned?

Mukkia. There is no such thing as a perfect human being.

If you feel Mukkia is not eating enough call your vet and discuss strategies to get him to eat. It could be that after such an extended fasting period his stomach has shrunk or he simply feels full on less. Keep a daily log on how much and when he eats.

No there is not! :-) When I was a teenager my dad used to tell me that everybody has something wrong with them. It just so happens that you can see yours. He said, it's not so bad, there are some crazy people in this world and you can't see what is wrong with them on the outside. Lol :-) He is right!

Great minds think alike! I have been keeping a log on Mukkia in my Google calendar. I write down when he eats, what he ate, how much. I also keep a record of how much he drinks, his litter box habits, even the size and texture. I was putting his meds and time given. I also put in his behaviours, like if he was hiding or crying, or being clingy.

You have a good point about the stomach. I didn't think about that. The only thing that throws me off on that theory is that he has been eating two small cans Fancy Feast a day plus his CD between wet feedings.

Cats absolutely love Fancy Feast. People call it 'kitty crack".. It is a tried and true favorite among most cats.

I am not surprised that Mukkia is eating more FF than any other food.

Try getting some freeze dried food, I have been using Natures Variety. I crumble a few of the nuggets on top of the food that I think Artie will not eat. This has been my latest solution to getting him 'jump started' to eating more..

I cannot take credit for this, because Columbine suggested it to me...

It does work.

I did not know that about the Fancy Feast! Interesting, to say the least. Can I pick up the other two that you're talking about at PetSmart? Or, do I have to get that from my veterinarian? I have never heard of that before. Thank you for the information! :-) It is worth a shot, definitely!

I do not know if they have all the varieties at PetSmart or Petco. My guy is only eating rabbit at this time. That is very limited. I think you can find a small treat sized bag of duck, chicken, at these stores.

I have the bag in my hand: It is in a brown and fuchsia colored bag, the size of a large treat bag.

Labeled in large letters: Instinct Raw (small letters on top saying Natures Variety)

Freeze dried Meal or Mixer

They do have a very large bag of the same thing, but it is very pricey.

The small bag is about $10 or less. I had to order mine on Chewy.

I just take about 5 suggests, crumble them on top of his regular food.

Are they all raw? I am a little nervous about giving Mukkia raw food. Is it safe for him?

mukkia · Mar 31, 2016

Also, Mukkia will not eat anything cold. So, I don't know if the freeze dried thing will work?

artiemom · Mar 31, 2016

I have always been nervous about feeding draw also.

Although they say they are raw, they do not seem to be icky..

They are dry powdery nuggets. They do not seem, look or feel raw.

I think the freeze drying changes things.

if they were really raw, raw, I would not use it.

The package does not have to refrigerated, or frozen. Just like a treat bag..

I know you have been through a lot. Honestly, I would not worry about the rawness of these. It is ok...

these are like treats....

foxxycat · Mar 31, 2016

the freeze dried look like dehydrated meats-the only thing you need to do is wash your hands after handling it. my cats seem to love these treats..and on top of food is a great idea. my old kitty floey loves her fancy feast. i used to use friskeys but she was getting finicky..so now its turkey classic or seafood ones classic as they are meatloaf style which i mash with a fork and add water and mix well. she laps it..we call it slurry
