Sometimes the prescription food is really, really appealing to them. Mine hated it for no good reason (the one who we tried it with was persnickety ) but would eat the baby food. I've had luck syringing water and getting them to eat baby food, fish, rice or egg when syringing food was rejected.


Both of mine were old. One was 21 and the other 16. I was fortunate to have them so long and neither suffered even though Noah had a very rapidly progressing cancer and could have. Now I have 2 7 month old kittens who are delightful. They don't replace Anna and Noah but they do keep it lively around here.
