Thank you for the suggestions Julie. I did cook her a duck, but at the time I was afraid that it was too fatty for her, and I was concerned about balanced nutrition, (she hates Nutri-Cal by the way). It's unbelievable how somebody so deathly thin can be so picky! I haven't been able to find a source for fresh/frozen venison yet, I'll get back on the search. Ostrich is an idea I hadn't thought about.

I think "Gypsy" is such a great name! When I brought my girl into the vets office (I trapped her in a TNR program for my colony), the vet assistant asked me if she had a name. She hadn't yet, but I found myself saying, yes, her name is Gypsy, and don't tip her ear!

Hi Nina,
If Gypsy has to have a novel protein diet to eliminate allergies, could you try just giving her cooked venison? Or, ostrich, Or, duck (maybe she's already sampled that, though). I know some supermarkets do carry wild game and if she'd just eat something you'd probably both feel better! I think you could accomplish the test using people-food rather than cat-food. Maybe it's something in the air (post-Holiday depression?) but I added 1 new supplement (Barley Cat) on Sunday night and you should have seen the 40-ish little noses turned straigh up in the air! I mean, they wouldn't even consider it!
Hope this helps!
Julie
p.s. I've named a beautiful mackeral tabby in my feral colony "Gypsy"!
