Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy

Well, Saran (as in Saran Wrap) is not a kitten, just an extremely tiny (and starved) adult about 7-8 years old.  I believe she was a mostly outside cat, because she has no clue what a litter box is for.  She follows every human who comes into the house.  She's silent, like a feral, but wants to be with humans, like a tame cat.  We have her on antibiotics for possible hemoplasma and will redo the blood test in 3 weeks.  Her other bloodwork was normal.  Since we got her, I've been knocking myself out finding grain-free cat food with zero poultry products.  If there's the slightest hint of poultry in it, she'll walk away hungry.  Fortunately, I know she likes salmon, ocean whitefish and tuna, and beef -- all pate.  She won't touch dry food or dry treats.

Not wanting anything to chew could be because there's a fair amount of tartar on her teeth.  Can't do anything about that until her weight is back up to normal.  Last Thursday, she weighed 5 lbs, 2 oz.  Today, she weighs 6 lbs even, so the multiple daily feedings are working.

I've not seen her drink a single drop of water.  All her liquids seem to come from the pate.  I might add a teaspoon or two of water to the pate and see if she'll consume it.  Might not, because when she pees every other day, it's ¼ to ⅓ cup liquid.  Spousal Unit says her insides must consist of a huge bladder and colon, because her eliminations are the size of a good size dog. At least she's polite enough to pee and poop on the tile floor...

Speaking of, time to feed her again.  I'm trying to slowly back off from every two hours to less often.  We're in the every four hours stage.  Eventually we'll get to 2-3 times a day, as her weight comes up.

Anyhoo, later, y'all.
