Cat updates

[elusivek]

Yes, the Wordless Wednesday was basically a cheat. I just posted the new cat Nutmeg's photo. And I'm shamelessly posting more LOL.

We're calling her Nutmeg.

I guess me being the one to physically pick her up and bring her home (the person that instructed me to do so is Mom, don't put the blame on me) has made her only sticking to me. Whenever I'm in the room she's in, she has to sit ON me somewhere. I don't put her there.

Anyway, we've kind of encountered some problems with her. She ate the first day, and then she also ate the following day, breakfast. After that breakfast (Sunday), she didn't eat anymore. It's now Wednesday night.

It's a bit worrying as cats not eating is more serious than dogs not eating. She is still lively and likes to chase people around, but otherwise, she's just sleeping all day and when I'm around she has to sleep on me.

Taking some time to get to know the other cats and the dogs. I think she can now tolerate having a dog sniffing her, or near her. But outright being crazy and the dog-kind of enthusiastic greetings are still a no-go for her.

Loves to go unde the sun, even if it's just my bedroom. Also got this nifty pouch-bag thing from the dollar store (though the actually item did it cost a dollar... it was waaaaayyyy more than a dollar)

The vet is stumped as well. He told us to try to get his "McDonald's for cats!" Food, he was so sure the cat will eat it, but no. Nutmeg refuses to be swayed. She still pees, so I have no idea where she gets her liquid from. She needs to revisit the vet another 3 days (already visited 2 times) for injections. You can imagine this may have been a street pick up but I've already spent a mini-fortune on this cat *rolls eyes*

It's still Mom's fault.

But what a sweet face! She's lucky to have you.

Awww, so cute! Hmm, when I've taken in foster dogs, sometimes they're just too upset or in shock to want to eat. One way I solved this was by feeding her next to the other dogs. They all eat in their crates, so I just pushed their food bowls near eachother, or I'd eat my food next to them. But that's dogs, who are big on the whole "we're a pack" thing. I'm sure you'll figure it out! Good luck!

Such a cutie! I hope everything is okay with her and she starts to eat/drink again soon!
