Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2008Aby tried to eat
I guess the force-feeding got his appetite to wake up, because this morning he showed strong interest in food and tried to eat on his own. Unfortunately he was unable to do it, so he got babyfood again, via syringe. He seems a bit less wobbly today - another 5%, I would guess - and is purring loudly and freely when stroked, and greeting other cats who come to check him out. He hasn't yet groomed himself other than to lick his chops. When he does go back to self-grooming, that's when I'll breathe a bit easier. > I guess the force-feeding got his appetite to wake up, because this morning > he showed strong interest in food and tried to eat on his own.

I'll just let you continue on w/the saga. Babyfood sounds lots better tasting for him than charcoal (hope you laid off charcoal, the OD's in ERs used to tell me after their stomachs were pumped out that it tasted awful, not to mention it stains your clothes terribly if one drop lands on you when they barf). Awaiting what either or any of his vets say lately. Very encouraging!

I don't blame you for being cautious, but the fact that his appetite is back is definitely a good sign.

Me and my two cats are still pulling and purring for both Aby and you. >I guess the force-feeding got his appetite to wake up, because this morning > he showed strong interest in food and tried to eat on his own.
