While the V*T said he didn't think Smokey had cancer, he did say that
the more frequent vomiting was seriously abnormal.  He suggested that we
 feed him the meat flavors of baby food as it would be more easily
digestible than cat food.

At first, he wasn't impressed, but then neither were we (have you
*smelled* that stuff? - yuck).  He would lap at it a few times then turn
away and scratch over it as though to cover it up.  He's been known to
do that to food of which he isn't fond.  Over time, though, he's decided
it's not bad stuff.

On DW's orders, he's been getting half a jar at a meal.  The half ration
has two objectives:  (1) avoiding putting too much in his digestive
system at once; (2) keeping Little Miss Hoover (Mistletoe) from
finishing his food along with hers (She's "over-fluffy").

The baby food has helped with the throwing up.  Recently, though, he's
been demanding more and more of it.  He quickly laps up what's in his
dish then sits and alternates stares between the empty dish and the
stupid human who is trying to starve him.  If that doesn't work,
M-e-e-e-o-w-w-w-w-w-w.

Finally, DW told me last night that he gets a whole jar at a feeding.
He's *much* better satisfied with that.  And he doesn't leave Missy any
either!

And he still demands a tax on our dinner when we have chicken or pizza!
