Koshka has always been a skinny cat, a fact hidden by her fluffy fur. But lately it’s becoem clear that she’s not just skinny… she’s a furry little bag of pointy bones. So a week ago I took her to the vet. Bloodwork was done, showing that she has both hyperthyroidism and some kidney trouble. As a result she was prescribed pills for the thyroid issue and special food for the kidney troubles. Raedthinn has been less than thrilled with this, as it has meant locking away *his* food except for supervised feeding times, as I want here to eat only the food she’s supposed to.
Sadly, she doesn’t *like* the special food. And being a cat, she’d rather go hungry than eat what she doesn’t want to eat. Grrrrrrr.
The pills were trouble for the first few days until I realized that they dissolve in milk and apparently don’t stink upt the taste.
She’s gotten “emo” down to a science.

When my cat was a kitten he had trouble keeping any kind of cat food down. I ended up feeding him this stuff that was more expensive than caviar (close enough anyway). He could keep it down but he’d only eat it if he was absolutely starving. He loved the cheap stuff so we had to hide that in another room for the other cat. Fortunately he grew out of that problem.
