Kitty Farmcat has lost her appetite

Since yesterday. This panics me because of her CRF and her great age.
I have been down this road before with my old dogs, of offering tempting
little morsels of various wonderful foods, only to have them rejected and
for me to get more and more despairing as they reach end-stage CRF.

Kitty cannot afford not to eat. She is getting frailer and frailer, as all
CRF patients do as their damaged kidneys excrete more protein than they can
take in. I know she did this once before a few months ago but with purrs
she came back so I am asking for a few more, please.

Yesterday, because she didn't want to eat by evening, I bought her some
lactose-free milk which she drank. I could only get semi-skimmed, I wanted
to get full-fat to get some calories into her. but apparently full fat
lactose free milk is not made. Dammit.
She only licked at her breakfast of fish pate this morning which she
normally loves. She spent the day mostly asleep in front of the fire and at
one time my heart nearly stopped when I checked on her, I thought she was
dead - by her position and expression.
She ate maybe a tablespoon of chicken this evening, but hey I have a
pheasant cooking in the oven that my neighbour gave me and she has always
loved pheasant.

Yeah, I know :-(((((

We can only send majorly huge purrs and prayers for such a fiesty
little girl to rally once again.

Pheasant? My cats say KFC and BF are spoiled as they never get
pheasant! I reckon KFC saw that pheasant and thought "What can I do to
make sure I get a big share of that? I know! I'll make the hoomin
think she needs to tempt my apetite with some delicacies!"

Hope the old girl enjoys her pheasant!

And of course we are sending purrs that she just wasn't hungry and
it's nothing serious

I appreciate your post because I know you wanted to comfort me. but she
never holds out for great food, she lived outside for so long alone that any
food just disappears down her throat.
She is ill, really ill. She fell off her footstool today, a low upholstered
thingie that she likes to sit on in front of the fire if her bed next to it
does not please her.
I am holding out on the pheasant just yet as she just ate another two tsps
of chicken.

It is hard when the end can be near, for people or cats. Will be purring
for her and you.

Purrs for KFC to rally again. I know how hard it is but you'll know when the
time is right. Meanwhile send Boyfie out to get her a collard dove.

There's no such thing as a spoiled cat, just a properly trained hoomin.

Thank Bast, my neighbours brought me 2 pheasants last Saturday and today
"voila!" the terrier men came again for a rat hunt and brought me another 2
with a Christmas card as an appreciation for letting them bring their
terriers here to rat.
We will be eating pheasant for the foreseeable future ;-) I just wish they
came already plucked and gutted though..
