Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2006old cat won't eat
Hello all. I have an 18 year-old tabby. She went from dry high-quality food, to soft high-quality, to the bargain crap....and now she is turning up her nose at that. She checks out fine at the vet. I was wondering what one does with a fussy old cat to get them to eat. Are there any brands that a particularly lick-smacking for a cat? Thanks! Ron My elderly cat (she passed on at age 20) enjoyed Fancy Feast canned - not the sliced or minced versions but just the plain kind. Her typical preferred flavor was Ocean Whitefish. She also got boiled chicken livers, chicken and turkey on occaision. She was always a good eater as well - up to the day she died. I used the above to give her extra calories and as treats - at her age she earned them. Fortunately she also ate Science Diet dry on occaision as well. > Hello all. I have an 18 year-old tabby.

My old (now departed) WhiteCat had really cut down on eating... so I got him that fancy "gourment" cat food in those small cans. He seemed to like it. Even though I thought I was over-spoiling him... I'm glad I did it...as it made his last 6 months good ones. > Hello all. I have an 18 year-old tabby.

She checks out fine at the vet. I was wondering what one Did vet do blood profile to check for kidney disease? Also, she could have a cavity or something going on in her mouth. how is her feces? is it brittle or soft, like chocolate fudge? Hi Everyone, Thanks for your input! Just to say, of course I had my cat checked out by the vet and everything seems OK. Now I am happy to report that I have found a solution! She seems to have trouble with her sense of smell. What I found works is to take a bit of the food and rub it on her gums. She tastes it, and then starts to eat! Maybe this trick will help someone else. Ron >Hello all. I have an 18 year-old tabby.

How do you warm refrigerated left over food? you could kill a deer and put the food into the deer's stomach. cats like to feel like they are eating fresh prey. > > Another trick with the canned food is to warm it up before feeding. > > Place the can in warm water for 15 minutes. > > How do you warm refrigerated left over food? Eh?! Did you READ the part of the message you quoted, you f.cking retard?! Here it is again. Changed slightly to reflect your situation. Read it slowly. Move your lips while doing so, if it helps. Ready? Right ...... Place it in warm water for 15 minutes. Got that, shithead?! > place it in warm water for 15 minutes. can you READ, retard. we're talking about refrigerated food. once the can is open, if you place it in warm water, the water leaks in and dilutes the food. COMPREHENDO, 'tardo? >can you READ, retard. we're talking > about refrigerated food. once the can is > open, if you place it in warm water, the > water leaks in and dilutes the food. > COMPREHENDO, 'tardo? You can put the can in a SHALLOW pan of warm water - just high enough so it doesn't reach the top. The can can be weighted down so it doesn't float. ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') Oh, I get it. You should keep the food in the can when you heat the can up! > Hello all. I have an 18 year-old tabby.

It may be renal failure. This just happened to our 15 year old cat. She went the same route as yours, we took her in and turns out she was having kidney problems. Also check on-line about renal failure about foods and treatments (if this ends up being the case). maybe she's not hungry. >> Hello all. I have an 18 year-old tabby.

Blowtorch. That's *before* you kill it, of course. Adds spice to experience for all concerned. For added fun and lashings of laughs boil it alive. how about a bath? cats love to take a bath. > > > KILL THE OLD CAT AND THEN EAT IT! > > > > ok, what is the easiest way to get all the furr off before cooking? > > Blowtorch.

Yeah - except when they get their heads held down in it till they suffocate/drown. I've never yet met the cat - or kitten! - that liked that, and I must have done over 30. It's fun, that. is it true that cats you murder come back and stare at you with glow in the dark eyes at night when you lie in bed? > > > > > > > KILL THE OLD CAT AND THEN EAT IT! > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > suffocate/drown.

No way, mate. When *I* murder a cat, believe me, it ain't comin' back. PS Tip : Always burn the bodies. Or place them in a bath of concentrated nitric acid. Dead or alive, it's up to you. cats faces like to pop up in a dark room right in front of the face of their killer when he is alone with glow in the dark devil eyes. > > > > > > > > > KILL THE OLD CAT AND THEN EAT IT! > > > > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > Tip : Always burn the bodies.

What would a cat-murderer be doing with glow in the dark devil eyes, alone, in his room? Practicing for Halloween? Rehearsing a bank robbery? I mean, what the f.ck?! it's because a cat murderer's eyes glow in the dark like the eyes of all the cats he has murdered. Don't believe it? Go to a room, make sure you are alone, turn off the lights, and look at yourself in the mirror. You will see the eyes of all the cats you murdered in your eyes. This only works when you are absolutely alone. > > > > > > > > > > > KILL THE OLD CAT AND THEN EAT IT! > > > > > > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > in his room? Practicing for Halloween?

Rubbish, you sexual deviant, you. I always make sure that, prior to burial / dismemberment / burning / acid-bathing, I *always" gouge their eyes out and squish them on the floor, then scrape what's left off and put it in the bin. Glowing's the last thing they'd do. Your "glowing" theory? I just don't believe it. > Don't believe it? That's right. I don't believe it. It's crap. > Go to a room, make sure you are alone, turn off the lights, > and look at yourself in the mirror. OK. Went to a room, and made sure I was alone. But then things went tits up. First, the lights weren't on, so I couldn't turn them off (it being the middle of the day when I did it). Looked at myself in the mirror, though. "Hi, handsome!", I said! > You will see the eyes of all the cats you murdered in your eyes. I usually murder cats in my kitchen; sometimes my attic or garage. I can put my hand on my heart and honestly say I have never - never! - murdered any in my eyes. That would be silly, wouldn't it, you silly person?! > This only works when you are absolutely alone. Have you ever considered switching to de-caff? The spirts of the murdered cats join their murderer in their murderer's coffin 6 feet under. Then they groan and purrr in that annoying catty way incessantly for eternity so the murderer cannot R.I.P. You need to bring along some cat treats in your coffin like the egyptian emporers. > > > > > > > > > > > "edie humperdink" <markdemers15@hotmail.com> top-posted > > > > > > > > > > > in message [quoted text clipped - 72 lines] > > > Have you ever considered switching to de-caff? > > > > > > > > > > "edie humperdink" <markdemers15@hotmail.com> top-posted > > > > > > > > > > in message news:1149550035.468009.39800@i40g2000cwc.googlegroups.com > > > > > > > > > > > > "edie humperdink" <markdemers15@hotmail.com> > > > > > > > > > > > > top-posted in message [quoted text clipped - 78 lines] > The spirts of the murdered cats join their murderer in their > murderer's coffin 6 feet under.

Are you positive? Still, it's something to write into one's last will & testament, isn't it? "Finally, I, the deceased, wish to be buried with the mortal remains of Pharaoh Hapshitnut II, and his son, the boy-king Tutankhamun. Just bung them in beside me. I'll be alright."

You see, I'll get to murder them all over again. (After)life is good. They will fear my glowing eyes.

It's an excellent time to mention it. These stories have to be told. I like the ibuprofen motif a lot - it's a hugely underrated pharmaceutical, and has, I feel, a great future in the field of kitten annihilation. One of the pre-death side effects, I believe, is glowing eyes. And, of course, spasms, and involuntary sh.tting. Death to kittens!
