[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 454281, member: 6705"] I'm going to second the soft food. And in this case, not because it's stinky (though it really is). When they get older, their teeth and gums tend to have problems. Near the end... AngelKitten (Weasel) had trouble with the canned food because it was cold from the fridge. She'd sit in front of the bowl and guard it until it was warmer... You could tell when she got to the middle, because she'd make a small yow, then back off and wait... I started grabbing all three cats' bowls, tossing hers in the microwave for 5-10 seconds, then putting them down for everyone. She knew what I was doing, she would purr madly. Also - Weasel did wander around and meow. This started when she was young, though - when we took Possum to the vet to be fixed, she wandered and complained - WHERE IS POSSUM DANG IT? She also would carry around a toy and meow while she did it. Squirrel does this too - only her "toys" are usually LIVE. Crickets, moths, spiders, mice... EWWWW. Possum will get stuck in the dark somewhere in the house and yow constantly until we call him - then he follows our voices, stopping to yow again until he finds us. I think he's losing his sight. If he had diarrhea, he probably [I]does[/I] have sinus issues. (Would you wanna smell that?! LOL) Canned food can be expensive when you have multiple cats, so another thing is to put a tiny bit of warm water on dry... [/QUOTE]
