I know this isn't a new topic but bear with me. My mom has a 16 yr old cat who has always been a picky eater. She has syringe fed him (against vet advice) off and on for years when he goes off his feed for a day or two. In the last two weeks he has simply given up eating at all. He's been...

Hi all: We have 6 cats (indoor/outdoor in a good sized house) and that appears to be one too many. The 6th addition (we don't adopt these cats intentionally, this one was hanging around our yard last March terribly hurt from a fight and possibly hit by a car) is making life miserable for...
