Taken Sunday - click for a larger pic
Lonee pooped yesterday morning and it was of the splat variety. *sigh* Sunday night I actually grabbed her and took her into my bathroom, along with a can of beef Fancy Feast. She was a little freaked at first, but settled down in front of the door. I put a towel on the floor to lay on because I’d spilled the water bowl earlier and was too lazy to clean it up.
Then I started petting her. She warmed up to that and I had her purring and talking to me. Then I dug out a little of the food with my fingers and put it on the floor in front of her. Then I wiped my fingers on the towel and started to pet her again. She resumed purring, then started to eat. She ate almost an entire can when she figured she’d had enough and quit eating anymore. I waited a few minutes to make sure she was done, and she was.
I let her out of the bathroom and the other cats came zooming in and she ran out and into hiding.
I’ve been giving her fingers of Fancy Feast throughout each day. She is eating some, but not all. Last night, after I’d fed the cats in the garage and most of the really wet stuff had been lapped up and the kibble was nice and soft, I brought in some of that and put it on the floor by the cat feeder.
I don’t know if she ate any of that last night, but in the last half hour, she pooped in her usual spot in the laundry room. And it was perfect. You couldn’t ask for a nicer pile.
That’s twice in ten days now that she’s had a good stool. I think we might be making progress. I said a very heartfelt prayer of thanks to heaven above. I just hope we can get these perfect poops more often.
