All I know, thus far, is what has NOT enticed him to eat:
- regular dry cat food (Purina Urinary Tract Health formula)
- Purina Kitty Chow
- Prescription Diet a/d formula
- Jenni-O oven roasted turkey
- plain yogurt (completely ignored by all the cats in the house)
- tuna water (immediately gobbled up by all the other cats in the house!)
What didn't work BEFORE he got the feeding tube:
- Gerber strained baby foods: veal, beef, turkey, ham
- Fancy Feast - Savory Salmon Feast
- plain vanilla ice cream
- plain vanilla ice cream infused with catnip juices
What enticed him to TRY eating, but didn't stay down, long before the tube:
- Trader Joe's kitty tuna
- strawberry yogurt
He DID lick my fingers when I crushed fresh catnip leaves, even when he was most sick. And he does continue to seek out the catnip toy.
Maybe if I rub the edge of the dish with catnip, and put a little dab of yogurt or ice cream in the middle ....
This boy has GOT to EAT. Or at least drink water. I'd settle for him drinking water ....
