I think it's a good idea - with some of my cats that I have is not something I can't afford not to - if I need to keep them alive (and they are not in pain or anything.. they just cannot eat from their conditions), I need to assist feed them.. I am trying to do this as a matter of fact - as It was difficult with Dharma and Naomi as they hated when I dd it...but at the same time,, Dharma wouldn't have started eating on her own, if I did not assist feed her the meantime..as she would have gotten weaker..

So finally I syringe fed her 2/3 of a jar of baby food, with gray petting her as I did. She did not seem to hate it that much, and perhaps less than having food shoved in front of her face every 30 minutes, and afterwards she washed her face and then purred while I pet her. Maybe I will do this a few times a day for a few days and see, unless she starts to hate it more. confused and depressed, but cuddling with my girl, Michelle
