Sick cat, fights being force-fed. Ideas?
I've got a cat here about 4 years old, was recently pregnant, somehow become not-so-pregnant and promptly stopped eating or drinking on her own.
I've been doing everything I can to get some nourishment into her but she fights me harder and harder the more I try. I have managed to get in some meat-flavoured baby food but that's about it. Any suggestions? Pilket |

Also, prefer a solution that does not involve the blunt end of a shovel, a shotgun, or anything along those lines.

This is so obvious I can't believe I even have to suggest it: get your cat stoned.

Have you taken the cat to a vet?

1. consult your vet
. . . . . 2. Hill Science Diet as well as Eukanuba or various other brands make a high calorie diet that is usually more palatable and has the consistency of a slurry. It's possible to syringe the food into the cats mouth, with care made to avoid having the cat aspirate. . . . 3. Really, go to the vet. |

Unfortunately, the Vet is out of the picture. Money, working, weekend, blah blah.

Does the food come in that consistency, or do I mix it with water? |

Give the cat a handful of antihistamines and then stick it in the freezer.
