Has the raw food arrived yet Sarah?

Shirley · « **Reply #45 on:** February 27, 2010, 09:18:22 AM »

How's Cheeky getting on, Sarah?

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #44 on:** February 22, 2010, 22:39:03 PM »

poor Cheeky

perhaps there's an old folks residential home near you who would adopt him - so he can be surrounded by lovely old dears

I know - just have to keep plodding away.

Janeyk · « **Reply #42 on:** February 22, 2010, 16:45:03 PM »

Hopefully the raw food will tempt him and then he may a bit better on himself, if he's not eating that alone will make him feel low

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #41 on:** February 22, 2010, 16:42:48 PM »

much the same to be honest Janey - though I do now have the Taurine to add to his food so that's a start and I'm still waiting on the order of raw foods for him which I'm more positive about him eating - certainly so far any kind of cat food is ruled right out no matter how I try to disguise or blend it!

Janeyk · « **Reply #40 on:** February 22, 2010, 16:31:30 PM »

I feel so sad for him, it sounds like it may take a long time but I'm sure he will be happy again

Is he eating any better than he was?

Shirley · « **Reply #39 on:** February 22, 2010, 14:48:36 PM »

Awww it's so sad, hope he'll realise someone else can love him

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #38 on:** February 22, 2010, 08:56:01 AM »

He's up and down like a yo yo truth be told Shirley - doing what we can but he's just all over the place. You think you're making headway with him then he seems to fall backwards again. But we won't give up and keep battling away.

Shirley · « **Reply #37 on:** February 22, 2010, 08:51:59 AM »

How's Cheeky doing? Hope he's feeling happier now

Shirley · « **Reply #36 on:** February 18, 2010, 16:47:45 PM »

Good to hear he's feeling a little better Well done-wish i lived close to come and cuddle him while you're so busy!

Janeyk · « **Reply #35 on:** February 18, 2010, 16:31:05 PM »

I'm glad to hear Cheeky is improving a little and hope that he can adjust to a better diet without feeling too sorry himself poor fella sounds a sensitive little chap who's forced to go through a pretty bleak time. I'm sure you'll bring him out the other side though - I wish I could sit him with me and give him lots of cuddles

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #34 on:** February 18, 2010, 15:00:23 PM »

he is so gorgeous and musy have loved his owner so much, he is so ;ucky to have come to you . loads of these for him

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #33 on:** February 18, 2010, 14:54:29 PM »

Glad to be of help

Nice to hear that theres some improvement, I'm sure he'll go from strength to strength with your TLC

Sabrina (Auferstehen) · « **Reply #32 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:22:18 PM »

Glad this little one is showing some improvement and enjoys a bit of fuss.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #31 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:18:01 PM »

Thanks guys

All hugs passed on to the big fella for you all.

He is doing a little better and is eating though only morsels at a time though I have managed to get him to take (eventually) some chicken as well as ham and fish though I swear every time I give him a bit of ham he looks at it as if to say - where's the primula!

He is now enjoying attention when you give it to him and will give you little purrs and rub his head gently on your hand but when you are not with him he just goes back to being listless and quiet. BUT - we do feel that things are moving on from where he was last week when he first arrived so we just keep chipping away a little more each day.

Must say a big thank you to Gillian for helping me out with info on raw diet and supplements and I have now ordered some bits and pieces which I hope will be here this week so that we can start improving his diet. am SO strapped for time at the moment that was a HUGE help - thank you Gillian

We have tried variety of different bits and pieces, hi life, gourmet, etc mixed with ham, fish chicken - to no avail so far! so at least I will have this to try as well and it will at least be much more nutritious for him.

time will tell......

thank you so much for your thoughts for our wee Cheeky -its very much appreciated by us and especially Cheeky himself.

Lots of

and cuddles for this poor boy - hope he picks up soon -it must be heartbreaking to see him like this -i am sure you will be able to help him

ChrisB · « **Reply #29 on:** February 17, 2010, 22:42:54 PM »

Bless him - sending him hugs and hoping he starts to eat better soon

RACR · « **Reply #28 on:** February 17, 2010, 22:31:08 PM »

Awwww how sad

Its heart breaking to see animals greive in such a way

I hope he starts picking up soon bless him

He does seem to enjoy his affection and bless him when you take your hand away he grabs at it with his wee paw.

He is still very low and sits and hangs his head while you talk to him but at least there are little signs of improvement so hope we can give him the will and support he needs to get over this difficult time.

Poor little soul. He has such an expressive face, too. I echo Shirley's thoughts on grieving animals. I do hope he'll be able to find a safe place to put his paws again, and to share his need for affection. Sending a respectful "pprrffpppt" from Paddy for cheeky.

Aw bless him, please give him big hugs from me and mine also!

thanks guys. At the moment I'm concentrating on hi just getting something into him and hopefully as he perks up through the week we can try different things but for now its such an effort just to get him to eat anything I don't want to jeopardise that.

Understandable - baby steps

all cuddles and hugs passed on

thanks guys x

What a handsome lad - I do feel for him poor fella - many hugs to him xxxxx

Shirley · « **Reply #20 on:** February 15, 2010, 12:15:24 PM »

Awww really feel for Cheeky and when you stop to think, it must happen to loads of cats/dogs when their owner passes away and the poor things just don't know what's happening to them. Rips your heart out. I hope you're able to get him through his grief

Give him a cuddle from me

aybe tuna whiskas supermermeat might tempt him? - mine go mad for it but you can only get it in the multipacks AFAIK - Also PAH own supermeat is really fishy (well the fish ones are

) also hi-life tins of smelly tuna are now complete - they bigger ones never used to be but they changed them. As you know, he really needs to get his taurine etc. Othwise, maybe a supplement mixed in the fish - no idea what it is called but Gillian will know.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #17 on:** February 15, 2010, 10:56:06 AM »

poor lad - I do hope he perks up

perhaps he'll gradually eat cat food if it is mixed into his fish in very small proportions to start?

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #16 on:** February 15, 2010, 10:44:44 AM »

Cheeky is doing as well as can be expected and I can say we are most certainly catering to his every whim at the moment with a stream of boiled fish coming from the kitchen

as it is literally the ONLY thing that we can get him to eat albeit just a little at a time.

I have a sneaky suspicion that we are going to have a lot of trouble getting Cheeky onto a cat food diet as he won't even look at it let along try a bit so will be looking into supplements, etc when I get a chance with a view to making sure he is getting the nutrients he needs.

He is a little brighter in himself this morning and did actually stand up for me once I stroked his head and did eat a little fish last night too. He does seem to enjoy his affection and bless him when you take your hand away he grabs at it with his wee paw.

He is still very low and sits and hangs his head while you talk to him but at least there are little signs of improvement so hope we can give him the will and support he needs to get over this difficult time.

We hope that this week will see Cheeky's spirits lift - will keep you all updated.

Aww bless his heart I just want to scoop him up in my arms and tell him it will be all better...

What doesn't help is that he looks a bit like my furdaughter Keli, who I miss terribly....i'm think i'm going to have a little cry now....

Well done you for taking him in and seeing to his every whim at this difficult time

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #14 on:** February 14, 2010, 20:49:20 PM »

Ahhh bless him ... it's no wonder he's depressed his whole world has turned upside down. I'm sure with patience and lots of TLC and bit of that special Sunny Harbour magic he will perk up and hopefully find a new family to give all the love he deserves

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #13 on:** February 14, 2010, 14:55:48 PM »

Oh how sad

He couldn't have come to a better place - if anyone can give him the will to live you can

bunglycat · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2010, 14:19:31 PM »

Poor boy

that is so sad -really hope he perks up soon and eats a healthier diet

What a terribly sad story. I hope Cheeky will start to feel happier very soon, poor baby. He's gorgeous

Such a shame for the poor boy. Hope he can live a happy and healthy life for some time. His owner prob thought she was doing good by him.
