baby food is made with onion, which is toxic to cats. i've nursed cats back to health with it but they have to be at death's door for me to do it. she has been acting healthy! she just looks skeletal. but yay, she's back to meow mix!

@genessa hmm, well a lot of people who show cats use it as a reward. It's what I used for one of our rescues who had an upper respiratory infection fed if to her one bite at a time. Perhaps it takes a lot? Anyway I do agree onions are toxic to cats and dogs, reading labels is good . I'm so glad your girl is better

@Booklover thanks )

mine just adore it! they've tried so many brands; this is their food of choice. i am still worried about her; she really looks skeletal, though she has been acting normally (well, normally for golde anyway) all along. she seems not to know anything is wrong. but to see her eating as if nothing had been going on, wow, it does my heart good!

@genessa my aunt’s cat just had surgery and she’s doing something similar with wet food- putting it through the blender with water to turn it into a gravy. I fed Mattie scrambled eggs once when she was sick because it was the only thing she would eat. I’ve also boiled chopped salmon or ground beef for sick kitties (they can have the broth too). Just some random ideas. Hopefully Golde keeps eating and gains some weight!

@SkagwayKim thanks! she is 15 and a half but she is a stubborn gal and i want more, more, more, i tell you, more years of her in my life!
