I've been terribly worried. Oscar will eat a bit of dry food here and
there, but she won't drink. Hasn't in over half a day.

So ... a small portion of low-sodium tuna, with liquid, plus some
water ... success!

Of course she managed to tip over the bowl, but that's what putting
her in the bathtub first was all about.

Yeah! It's a start. Sometimes if you can just get them started, then
it will "click in" and they'll start doing it on their own.

Purrs for continued success.

Thank you! They're working! I again gave her some tuna in
watered-down broth yesterday evening ... and last night I heard her
eat crunchy food, drink water, and use the litterbox, all with her e
collar on.

Which means I can feel good about leaving her alone for the day, as
well as letting her have the run of the bedroom rather than confining
her to the crate. Unfortunately for Oscar, that means that when the
tuna can is empty, I won't be opening another.

Rusty has been trained to wait patiently for his meals. He is upset
when I am not in the kitchen at meal times. But he would wait patiently
in the living room when he can see me
cooking in the kitchen, even just for my own meals. He knows he will be
fed when I am done
eating, and he will only be fed twice a day. Sometimes he gets a treat
in between meals.

Purrs that Oscar will do fine home alone today.

Oscar doesn't push me for food, but I like to feed her before I eat
because she seems to like eating at the same time as the rest of the
household.

Thank you. I'm sure she will.
