Getting Stella to eat

DSCF0683.JPGGetting Stella to eat is not an easy task. This weekend she didn’t want to eat much of anything. I’m not sure what to do. She is drinking well, but she doesn’t want to touch the wet kitten food, her Fromm dry food, Ambush’s food, the tuna cat food from Trader Joe’s, or the other various things I’ve tried. She hasn’t touched anything that I’ve seen since Saturday.

She’s tried to eat Ranch veggie dip (not good) and has eaten a little bit of lunch meat. That’s it. We will see what she’ll eat tonight. I’m going to pick up another flavor of the Fromm dry food and see if that helps. Maybe I’ll cook some eggs, lamb, and rice for her tonight.

I know she has lost weight again. Just when we finally broke through the 5 pound mark last week. For Stella, losing a few ounces is a big thing. I’m not sure what to do.

We have a vet appointment tomorrow for fluids. If Stella hasn’t eaten by then, we’ll see what they say.

    I love my kitty. I love my kitty. I love my kitty. Cats are notorious for being finicky critters. I’ve been blessed with two cats who are not. Put almost anything in front of Ambush or Kiesha and they will eat it. They might even meow for seconds. Stella, on the other hand, more than…

  • Stella. Again.

    Stella is having trouble again. She has been doing so well for the past two months. She has decided that she prefers Ambush’s high protein food to her own lower protein dry food. She won’t eat her dry food now. I’m feeding her wet food but I have to constantly keep Ambush out of it….

  • Retinas and diabetes

    I waited anxiously at work all day after dropping Basette off at the vet’s this morning. Her eyes hadn’t improved any from the night before. She still seemed to be able to see where I was. She came over and sniffed my feet, purring loudly. She even followed me into the office the night before….

  • Play Time with Kiesha

    Every night at about 10:00 PM Kiesha loses her mind and her evil twin emerges. About that time, I’ll hear a high pitched meow (where Kiesha gets her nickname of ‘Squeaky’) and the scritch-scratch of Kiesha clawing on the back of the couch. It’s like a mating call: ‘Come play with me or else I’m…

  • Shadow’s Vet Visit

    Poor Shadow. Shelley dropped Shadow off on Tuesday so I could take her to the vet’s for her surgery. Shadow wasn’t very happy to be dragged around in a carrier and taken to the vet’s. Considering everything, she was quite well behaved though. She spent part of the morning in the carrier on my kitchen…

  • Stella eating more

    Finally. Stella had her fluids on Friday and then didn’t eat much… but today she started eating again. (Yay!) A friend of mine at Phydeaux pet store suggested a trial size of Call of the Wild no-grain cat food. Stella’s pickiness has rubbed off on Ambush. For the first time ever, Ambush is refusing to…
