I'm new to this site, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area. I have a 12 week old kitten that had a kitty cold about a month ago. He stopped eating when he became stuffed up and I had to start bottle feeding him to keep him nourished. Before this, he was eating regular, dry cat food and would occassionally go to the momma to nurse. After he got sick and I started bottle feeding, like I said; he stopped eating the cat food and also stopped nursing. He's all better now but refuses to eat cat food. He gets fed in the mornings and then goes all day without eating until I get home from work to feed him again. He's starving by this time and follows me around meowing. I've tried everything, put the KMR with the cat food, put it on his lips, gave him canned food. I've started mixing the wet food with the KMR so he tastes that. I've tried putting the wet food on my fingers. This kitten is stubborn! I've never experienced anything like this. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Should I try letting him go without food in hopes he'll go to the cat food out of hungry? I know he won't let me sleep at night or have any piece because he will follow me around meowing all the time.
