Have you tried the catnip spray?? Have you tried the cheapest tuna or
maybe raw hamburger (room temp)? Hot water on top of the hamburger
brings out the "juices" and has helped some ferals eat and/or drink
the "juices." Re tuna: The nice solid white doesn't work. Even my
healthy guys want nothing to do with that...the very cheap, in water
stuff that may turn your stomach.

talk shows so that they get used to human voices. But this little
guy seems
beyond that stage. After that, classical music is very soothing to
cats.

hi Natalie,
Yes, tried heating the food, too, added his fave treats; 4 flavors
of tiki,
regular tuna, regular sardines, kibble, steak from Christmas, - he's
got
several interactive toys that he loves, cat trees, scratching pads/
posts,
sunny windows, catnip toys, loose catnip, filtered water, heat
reflecting
beds, daily brushings and daily feather stick sessions. I'm
wondering if
he'd like a little tv or some music. I have never had luck with
Feliway
nor Rescue Remedy though I can try them again with him. We tried
Feliway
the day of the vet visit. It's so frustrating because he was doing so
great! We feel he is saying 'I want to be IN the house with you,
daddy, and
my brothers OR I want to be outside. I don't want to be in purgatory.
I did get an RX for cypro, so I will pick that up, try baby food
(onion free
of course), KFC;
When the other boys don't eat, I can syringe, pill them, etc - but lil
Whimsy still has that feral streak come out. But we have to try
everything.
thank you for your support!!

Don't let him get to you - no matter how much he objects. Pretty
soon,
he'll be more than happy to be safe inside! Have you tried heating
up the
food or adding some very hot water to it? Does he have some toys,
catnip to
keep him busy? BTW, if you get Rescue Remedy, you don't necessarily
have to
get it into his mouth - you can place a few drops on the skin on his
forehead or closer to the ear where the fur isn't so dense. I still
think
that Feliway could help a lot.

Subject: [Felvtalk] spoke to soon, Whimsy not eating again
after a good morning yesterday, now Whimsy is refusing to eat
again. Tuna,
sardines, treats, nothing - have to try KFC today. He is having
bursts of
playing alot, wants to cuddle, then gets pissed off and kicks litter
out of
his box, paces around crying and begging to go outside. He is
depressed and
angry. I just can't wrap my head around letting him out in all that
snow
and cold - after we made such progress. We live off a busy street -
it's
everything we got away from with him. The other thing is now he
knows we
live on the other side of the door with other kitties. Everything
was fun
until this dr apt and the outside door to his room froze over.
I am going to get my vet to call in a cypro rx, but how I will pill
this
guy, I have no idea.
this is so heartbreaking, in light of his excellent check up.
argh.
Shannon
