Nutrical is probably the best choice, since it's made for cats. I
hadn't heard about giving cats honey, I know there's a reason you're not
suppose to give it to human babies, can't remember why though. I think
it would be safer to give white Karo corn syrup. That's one of the
ingredients in the homemade kitten formula I use, so I know it's safe.
Just a little might sooth and energize Bramble enough to want to eat.
Prayers for Bramble,
Nina

Poor Bramble! He has such bad luck! No new ideas here, just wanted to
offer some support and good wishes to you and Bramble. Personally, I
would force-feed if it is more than 2 days without food. Try and see
if he will lick a bit of honey off your finger, that makes my throat
feel better sometimes, and it will get a little sugar in his system,
so he wont crash from low blood sugar. I've had cats survive on very
little force fed Nutri-Cal gel. If you have to force feed, and it
hurts him, get some of the most potent stuff you can, so you can do as
little as possible, and get as much nutrition in him as you can.

I collect KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil, a 3 yr old special
needs cat who must live on a liquid diet for the rest of his life.
Bazil's caretaker collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they
add up until she earns a free can of formula!
PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil!
If you use KMR, even just one can, please ask me for the mailing
address you can send them to, to help feed Bazil!
