Has anyone mentioned valium yet? I haven't caught up with my emails so forgive me if it has already been mentioned.
Valium has a weird side effect with cats. It makes them eat like crazy. The downside is that the cat must be restrained in a carrier because they will hallucinate and perhaps harm themselves. This is for desperate measures only--obviously. If it is between life and death, this might be an option.

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,
