We had a very very hard time getting him to eat this morning. I tried a few different flavors of food… I tried treats on top….(We have 2 small containers with some chicken dust in one and turkey dust in other) and since he didn’t seem interested I tried feeding him a plain treat and he wouldn’t eat a chicken one… he would only eat a shrimp one but I only had 1 more piece of shrimp – put it on his food but still wouldn’t eat it. We only have about 15 small pieces of treats left – so I am going to try to get another bag of shrimp treats as soon as I can since he seems to like those better and sometimes I can get him to eat his food by putting a few shrimps on top. Dane had to run to the local grocery store and he got 2 Fancy Feast appetizers (Jupiters 2 favorite flavors)… So I put some tilapia appetizer on top of his FF pate food and he took 1 lick and walked away. So I tried feeding him some plain tilapia - this usually always works and he will always atleast eat some plain appetizer…but not today!! Boy was I getting really frustrated at this point. So I opened the other appetizer which was a tuna flavor… put it in front of him still in the little tray it comes in… and he started eating it… So I got a new spoonful of pate on a plate and put most of that appetizer on top… and thankfully he ate a few bites… but mostly just the tuna on top… better that then him eating nothing though.
I was unable to pick up the food (free feeding) from last night so I am not sure when Jupiter last ate prior to the shot… maybe that’s why he wasnt hungry this morning…. But I am not sure… plus we are rarely able to pick up the food 2 hours prior to AMPS (we are usually only able to do this at night – we pick up food 2 hours prior to PMPS)… but even if he doesn’t seem hungry in the mornings I can usually get him to atleast take a few licks of pate… or if all else fails… he will always eat some of a FF appetizer. Just weird because this is the first time he wouldn’t even eat the tilapia appetizer which is normally his favorite thing to eat. So sorry for the long long long explanation – but wanted to share how I tried so many things and he still wouldn’t eat – not even his favorite food – which kind of worries me.
Other then the bad appy this morning he seems to be doing good. He is laying on his cat perch by the window – and he is sleeping.
I am so happy with all these lovely numbers!!!!!! 60 and under makes me nervous - but I am starting to get a little more comfortable with these numbers - so I am going to try to test a little less often. His poor ears look so sore.
