Last night I fell asleep on the couch (away from the bedroom food bowl...although there is a living room bowl.) I don't know what it is about him eating in the bedroom...and his voracious (sp?) appetite when he sleeps in there with us...but last night he didn't touch the food bowl in the...

No drooling tonight when I got home, just happy, loud purrs. Tonight, again, while b/f works late Dylan and I get another nice nite together...he is enjoying the warm air, I have opened the windows a crack and he is sitting looking out...as he always seems to really enjoy lately. He had a...

He was purring so loudly you could hear it a foot away! Happy, Happy! So if your cats do that too, I suppose that is normal....he was just a bit happier than usual to see me since he had gotten accustomed to having me home with him for so long...then I went back to work all week during the...

Not to quote myself...but would you be concerned about this drooling thing? He did it once last week too when I woke him up in the laundry basket to pet him. What do you think about this?

Do you think a half a cup to about 5/8 cup of dry prescirption diet is enough for Dylan a day? the vet said that is what I should be aiming for at this point since it is so rich...and he does eat about that much, give or take a bit a day. Some days with the supplemental canned food and...

Dylan head butts my mouth for forehead kisses. He can't get enough of them. He also loves kisses on his ears. My dad's cat Winston kisses me on the mouth...and will also try to climb inside when I offer him kisses though...he is funny!!

Last night when I got home from work, Dylan was actually curled up ON the couch rather than hiding behind it... which was a happy surprise....but when I went over to snuggle with him, I realized that he was drooling a little bit...and when he jumped down and ran around the apartment a bit and...

Last night was a record eating fest through out the night... I think he knows his limits, and eats enough that he won't get sick....digests, then goes in for more...because he continued eating in tiny intervals throughout the night last night. And it is very strange being at work and away from...

I think I have discovered the trick to getting Dylan to consistantly eat... Every nite at bedtime, I bring a bowl of crunchy food into the bedroom and put it on the floor near the bed.... And sure enough, the last 3 nights in a row he has gotten up and eaten a minimum of 2 times during the...

He has eaten several large dry food meals (4 since yesterday morning) and has more energy and hasn't thrown up any more. He has also been consistently drinking water as I have been keeping an eye on him. I have put a bowl of dry food in living room, and in bed room at night, to further...

So far Dylan has had complete blood chem (now done 3 times) urinalysis, ultrasound and regular clinical evaluations. He has probably visited the vet about 8 times in last two months for regular check ups and follow ups. She said if he had a tumor it would have shown up in the ultrasound...and...

Unfortunately, Dylan just won't touch anything with chicken flavor Don't know why, but he rejects it and tries to burry it. I am going to try the beef & gravy baby food...and if he doesn't go for that then I have a couple of kinds of canned that he likes that he might try. But I will try...

He walked over to the water bowl a couple of times, sniffed it then walked away...should I give him water via eyedropper to help rehydrate him? Also, will keep trying to get him to eat canned food, for added hydration...eventually he will eat some. So far today, only crunchy though.

I am a little worried, because Dylan threw up again this morning...and I stopped giving him the stool softener a few days ago...so I can't blame the meds for him getting sick. This is the 3rd time he has thrown up in past week. The other two I was sure was because of the stool softener...
