The only way I can get Hugh to eat soft food is as a last resort! My friend's cat has chylothorax, and she has to give him 10 cc's of medication three times a day -- every 8 hours! For all the whining I do, deep down I know it could be worse and ultimately it's worth it. Your cat loves turkey baby food?? The only way I can get Hugh to eat soft food is as a last resort!

I thought our cat stories were insane. They're nothing compared to yours. We have to give Bonnabelle an insulin shot every day, and two doses of thyroid medicine mixed with turkey baby food, but she gobbles it down with no problems. I can't imagine having to travel across the border to get our cats food. I would do it though! You're such a good cat mommy. :-) The only time that I thought I was going to pull my hair out was when we first started giving her shots and she hated them. We finally figured out to give them to her when she's eating and it hasn't been a problem since. But before that, I was in tears trying to get her to calm down so we could give her a shot. And then there was the months where we had to prick her ear for a drop of blood to test her blood sugar several times a day. That was NOT fun. But we got through it and now have a healthy, thriving cat who's been well regulated on her insulin for about 3 years. So in the end, all the work for our kitty cats is well worth it. :-) Oh my goodness . . . I thought our cat stories were insane. They’re nothing compared to yours.
