I've been trying a few days at a time of each special diet kind of
food, keeping track of which she likes and seems easiest to digest.

So far lamb and turkey seem like the best meats.  Chicken is ok, pork
not so much.  She likes things with gravy.  :-)  So far, Friskies
Senior sliced lamb with rice is a favorite, but I don't know if it
really fits the bill healthwise.

Fish is a big no-no-- very loose and stinky poo!  and I have noticed
that she doesn't like it very much any more, either.

When she was younger she loved to sneak potato chips.  Not any more.
I wonder if the salt doesn't taste as good to her, since it's more
unhealthy for her now.

I think I'm going to try getting out the phone book and asking vets if
they have reccomendations for homemade cat food.

I feel guilty!  I don't think I have been as good as a cat mom as I
should have been.  On one hand, I won't miss litter boxes and
hairballs, and she's needier than she used to be.  On the other, I
like it when I can do something that helps her, and I want her to be
around forever.  This is unsettling: we're both coming to the end of
an era.
