Re: appropriate calorie in take for a kitty

[Marylyn]

Kitty would take this when she wouldn't eat anything.  Sometimes just a few licks of it would get her to the point she could eat Fancy Fest or some other canned food.                                                            If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures                                                  from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who                                                  will deal likewise with their fellow man.                                                                   St. Francis ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 6:49 PM Subject: Re: appropriate calorie in take for a kitty You can up the calorie intake short term by adding a few teaspoons of Vita-Cal (a generic of Nutri-Cal) supplement to each feeding. This adds to the calories without the extra bulk. I always keep a tube on hand. Not sure how it would be for a CRF kitty though, maybe be way too much protein, here's the link: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3177   (there's a "more info" link to click which lists the nutritional facts)   They eat it fairly well, it's flavored. Some of my cats beg for it, others I have to sit on to force it into them.   Here's the Nutri-Cal link, you should be able to find this locally at pet food stores (or at your vet's office) in your area if you don't like to mail order: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3378 Jenn http://ucat.us http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html Adopt a cat from Little Cheetah (UCAT) Cat Rescue: http://ucat.us/adopt.html PLEASE DONATE TO THE TANGLE FUND: Tangle is a cat in Greece that was severely injured when someone wrapped wire around his neck to strangle him, Little Cheetah Cat Rescue is raising funds to bring Tangle to Vermont to find him a good home! http://ucat.us/tangle-fund.html DONATE: We could really use a power saw (for construction), a digital camera (for pictures), and more towels!
