2nd?

I updated yesterday in the Kitty Farmcat at TED thread, but here is today's
progress. She's sneezing less than yesterday but she's hardly eating.
It's been cold and rainy today so I lit the woodburner this morning - she's
very happy about that, been snoozing next to it most of the day, all warm
and comfy.
She's back on rehydration fluid again and drinking it well, so hopefully
that will keep her going until her appetite picks up again. I resorted to
hand feeding her tonight and she took a few pieces of chicken, I was a bit
reluctant to start that as (if cats are like dogs on this, and I don't know
if they are) it can be difficult to get them self-feeding again.

IMHO They do enjoy the extra attention. It is for a good cause, so
please continue pampering her as long as she wants it. Best wishes. MLB

Yes it can be a problem with cats too. But what else can you do,
right?

Cats are almost (not quite) on a par with dogs for continuing behavior
that is rewarded with attention.

Exactly.

I was afraid of that as I know a few people who've got into difficulties
with handfeeding during illness and not being able to get away from it
afterwards. Fortunately KFC has not taken advantage and is back on her one
roast chicken leg a day chopped up into two meals eaten entirely unaided
(although it take her ages) Phew ;-)
