feeding your cat baby food

feeding sick cats

If your cat has loss her/his appetite, especially due to illness –
try this

Bear probably has CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and isn’t eating, so we tried baby food. Our vet, Dr. Turetsky, recommended a no fruit or vegetable type. Make sure there is no onion or onion powder in it – read the label. We bought both Gerber & Beech Nut: she likes the turkey with gravy (Gerber)/broth (Beech Nut) and beef with gravy/broth. She doesn’t like the ham or chicken, but your cat might. Bear also loves it when we hand feed her – she’s not a spoiled cat, she is just very affectionate and very bonded to both my husband Steve and me.

Our other cat is fat & healthy and eats everything, so we place Bear’s food next to where her napping spots in the house are. We are encouraged: she had been given an appetite stimulant every 3 days but hasn’t had one for a week.
