Well, I SAW the gray one eating last night, so just to be
safe, I force fed the black one this morning again.
I spoke to the lady at the rescue that is going to take them
(If we can find some one is Massachusetts who can help with transport) last
night and she seems very nice. She said she
Jenn,
I'm so glad at least someone is eating. I'm betting they both are. It
sounds like they're starting to understand just how lucky they are to
have found themselves in your care. I'm no good at talking anyone out
of keeping just one more, (or two for that matter!). There's something

Guess what?! When I just checked on them, the plate of soft
food I had left was GONE! At least one of the ATE! Whoo-hooo! I'm going to put
another plate of food in there before I go to bed, I don't want to give them too

Well, they have been fed. They actually didn't do too bad,
really, once they realized it tasted good. I'm not used to Persian faces though,
and it took me a few minutes to realize that you can't force the mouth open from
the side like in most cats because they have weird shaped jaws, however,
Ahh, that's a good idea! I will add a cardboard box for them
to hide in! Thanks!

forgot to ask, do they have a dark place to hid in/under in the closet?
Maybe you could try leaving the food in there. If

Tad,
On my IBD list, feeding cats any veggies or grains is a big no no and
will get you pounced on immediately, if you mention it. There's
nothing toxic about it as far as I know, but a lot of cats with IBD
have alergic/sensitivities to different foods and so they stay as close
to a "wild" die
Aw Jenn, doesn't it just make you crazy? I hate it when they won't
eat. I'm sure they're still traumatized by their ordeal. They were in
a pretty sorry state when they got to you and the vet care they
received is going to take some time to get over. I hope this is just
transitory and they b
