My vet suggested pinch bowls--small metal bowls chefs use for a small amount of seasoning etc--try a kitchen store, Linens and Things etc. They are small, slanted so the cat can lick them clean and easy to disinfect. They are very inexpensive too. I think my 4 ran less than $4.00. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nina" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 6:36 PM Subject: Re: FW: CLS - Please add Twiggy to the Special Needs list > Joan, > Tell your friend to try lunch meat, sour cream, plain yogurt, anything > to get her to eat on her own.
