Pam - how is Jasper?
Carol

Sigh.  He isn't eating much, either wet or dried.  He seems to
LOVE Wellness Chicken, but even though he attacks it (or did until
yesterday) and spends quite some time on it, he seems not to be
consuming much of it.  On one hand, I wonder whether this is
inability because of his flat face, but, OTO, IIRC, he did eat
such food when he was a kitten.

As for dried food, I am wondering whether he just doesn't like the
 new food, which is designed to make his urine more acidic.
(Yes, this is a vicious circle too, since having dried food makes
it less likely he'll eat the wet food--but he isn't eating much
dried food either, alas.  I still hope he will eventually, and
sooner rather than later, eat mainly wet food, but I am also
concerned that he eats at all/enough to stave off liver problems,
etc.)  The best news is that he does seem to be drinking
more--from his new cup in the bedroom and from his fountains.

He is seems much more fragile mentally (if possible).  Even more
scared than usual and taking a LONG time to bounce back after
anyone comes here.  What do you see in Jasper?  I will say that at
first I was amazed that Mingy seemed to be behaving so normally
after he was so totally stressed out, but I keep noticing little
things that make me think he is just not the same....

It is sweet of you to ask while your own baby is ill.  I loved
your description of how you came to be Jasper's mom, and what a
wonderful mom you are!!!!!!
