Thanks Denice. He has been mostly on wet food for a few years now, but he gets picky about it. I will check out the thread because I'm sure there will be some good tips for finicky eaters And I was sure there must be some kind of yummy tasting thing I could sprinkle on food from time to time. The vet gave me a few pills to use as appetite enhancers if I needed them, but the pills are quite large and difficult to trick a cat into eating them when he won't eat food!

Kitties are huge creatures of habit that is why it is difficult to switch them to another type of food. Many companies don't play fair with their kibble either. They spray it with animal digest which kitties love. You can use a probiotic called Fortiflora that has animal digest in it to entice kitties to eat another food. Just sprinkle some on the new food, sort of the same thing that the companies do with their kibble.
He ate well tonight and chased a bug. Maybe things will go well tomorrow! (Ugh- found out the specialist is in an industrial park- it will cost me $70 in taxis to get there and back...I'm hoping to take a cab there and get a bus back. Now I wish I knew anyone with a car! Usually completely unnecessary in Montreal!)
