Project Fat Cat is a success so far!

My vet was worrying about my elderly cat losing weight (he has
thyroid issues, and she was worried about him getting into a
vicious cycle of not eating - getting too weak to eat). So, I
was ordered to use *any means necessary* to get some meat on his
bones.
So, after two weeks of mackerel treats, his highness has gained
a half pound! Vet was very pleased.

Wonderful! Thyroid issues in cats are so hard to deal with--if
only they could tell us how they feel.
Under similar circumstances, I found baby food ham and anything
salmon-flavored worked well. Never thought of mackerel--will
keep that on the list for future reference.

I found it tucked away in the canned food section of my grocery
- mackerel fillets in olive oil, packed in a glass bottle. He
adores it, to the point of being obnoxious in demanding I
provide seconds.

I'm so happy for you and your kitty! I hope he continues to gain
weight.

Wow! That is a huge gain! I’ll bet his coat loves the olive oil,
too.

You might see if you can get Tiki Cat canned cat food where you
are. Expensive-as-all-get-out, but actual hunks of fish or
meat, plus other ingredients that will help give him a more
balanced diet than straight fish. We have a diabetic cat that
eats the sardine Tiki Cat food because all of it is low
glycemic.

my kitty has kidney issues that will prove fatal eventually, and
she's SO skinny.
But i'm terrified to feed her anything but the kidney food
because it will be so high in sodium. I don't want to rush
things.
