Hey! Me with my Morton questions again.. quick recap here for those who don't know. Morton is two years old and has an autoimmune disease called ITP. He is being treated with traditional chinese medicine and holding low but steady numbers and behavior has been great since getting off the immunosuppressive drugs that made him so sick! The problem is he has always been picky and hard to get to eat.. he is chonky right now at 10.3 lbs.. probably needs to lose a pound but it's okay. He only eats when I'm asleep! He will wake me up purring and being adorable usually around 1am and another time before 9am and he will eat about 1/8 cup of high calorie food plus a little. He gets a tiki broth pouch or fancy feast broth pouch, two inaba churus, and a plate of freeze dried meats but he usually won't eat actual cat food unless I'm asleep and he wakes me up to put his bowl down. I'm always concerned but he is gaining and not losing. It just seems like so little food to me.. is this okay? I worry all the time! The vet thinks it's weird but he is weird to everyone.
Since he got back from the icu after his 2 week stay in august where he was diabetic and in dka and on deaths door when he recovered he only wanted to eat upstairs at night by my bed.. and wont eat his cat food anywhere else! I don't mind it at all him waking me up to be adorable a few times a night but its just so weird. As I submit this he hasnt touched his food bowl in 19 hours
