| Project Fat Cat is a success so far! | |

| My vet was worrying about my elderly cat losing weight (he has | |
| thyroid issues, and she was worried about him getting into a | |
| vicious cycle of not eating - getting too weak to eat). So, I | |
| was ordered to use *any means necessary* to get some meat on his | |
| bones. | |
| So, after two weeks of mackerel treats, his highness has gained | |
| a half pound! Vet was very pleased. | |

| Wonderful! Thyroid issues in cats are so hard to deal with--if | |
| only they could tell us how they feel. | |
| Under similar circumstances, I found baby food ham and anything | |
| salmon-flavored worked well. Never thought of mackerel--will | |
| keep that on the list for future reference. | |

| I found it tucked away in the canned food section of my grocery | |
| - mackerel fillets in olive oil, packed in a glass bottle. He | |
| adores it, to the point of being obnoxious in demanding I | |
| provide seconds. | |

| Wow! That is a huge gain! I�ll bet his coat loves the olive oil, | |
| too. | |

| You might see if you can get Tiki Cat canned cat food where you | |
| are. Expensive-as-all-get-out, but actual hunks of fish or | |
| meat, plus other ingredients that will help give him a more | |
| balanced diet than straight fish. We have a diabetic cat that | |
| eats the sardine Tiki Cat food because all of it is low | |
| glycemic. | |

| my kitty has kidney issues that will prove fatal eventually, and | |
| she's SO skinny. | |
| But i'm terrified to feed her anything but the kidney food | |
| because it will be so high in sodium. I don't want to rush | |
| things. | |
