So. Just before 3, I dipped my finger into the creamy treat stuff and offered it up and he licked the finger clean but he was having no more. But, it does seem to sniff and decide each time so it's not like he's just on strike.

I've now tried the creamy treat, about 4 different kinds of cat food,butter, chicken broth and water. Still no.

Yes, I called the vet's and they were great. They asked me a ton of questions... is he doing this or that or showing this sign or that and at the end they said to watch and wait. He's got so much medicine in him and so much healing to do. They were very encouraged about his demeanor. His ears are perked up and he's moving his head and flaps a bandaged paw now and again. He actually hasn't even slept much. We've been watching TV.

They said to keep trying and try everything. Oh right, I need to try tuna juice. But, they said to put more store by his behavior and general perkiness.

I did feel a whole lot better after talking to them.

Now, 3 hours later, he's looking around - probably for birds - but hasn't left his recliner and hasn't licked anything else off my feeder finger. Maybe tomorrow. Stay tuned!

YAY !!!!

Absolutely, the pain meds will knock him flat. They also depresses his appetite. Him engaging with you & being aware of his environment are VERY important.

All sounds good. Just please remember to take your ownmeds and feed yourself!

You might try warmed up chicken baby food. Sometimes a cat will eat that when they won't eat anything else.

Good that the vet says he seems to be on course.

Oh my goodness I just caught up on this saga — Gravity works even for you, Biggie! Oh my goodness. I am just in such shock but so glad to see that he made it and you as ever did all the right things. Can our cats stop trading major vet requiring incidents? I think we're good for a while. This is a terrible competition to be having. No one wins the pain olympics, Biggie and Loki.

Biggie sure gets into trouble, doesn't he? I had to go back and check on what he'd done this time. I hope he continues to improve.

I second the suggestion someone made re: baby food. It was the only thing one of my former cats would eat after they'd had a couple of teeth pulled. Oddly, it was the baby food squash that they liked the most, but they'd eat the meat ones as well.
