Well my poor Stormy (old-man cat) has pretty much stopped eating again... he isn't even eating much of the gravy-like treat that he previously wanted all the time. today i gave him some beef broth, i know it's not ideal because of the sodium but dang he needs some nutrition. he ate/drank that right up. now he's back to hiding in the bathroom closet again. although he is not acting like he's in pain, he's not doing the howling thing like he had been doing before christmas, so I just don't know. I guess I need to call my son and talk to him about it tonight and see how he feels about it all; he was always Stormy's "person".
