Dear So and So

[bmccasland]

Dear Skinny Feline that lives here,
I'm sorry that I had to force feed you this evening. It wasn't much fun for you. But would you please eat? Why do you like the canned food at 5pm, then not want to eat it at 7pm? Your skinny little body needs the food, if you don't eat, then I'll make you. Oh, and if you were consistant about flavors that you like then maybe we wouldn't have this trouble.

1/26 - I should add that said cat is 17 and has hyperthyroid disease. She currently weighs 4.5 pounds, so is literally skin and bones (she used to weigh in at 8.5 pounds in her younger normally functioning thyroid days). It's a Catch-22, she doesn't feel good because she needs to eat, almost constantly, but the hyperthyroid also messes with her kidneys, so doesn't feel like eating, and is a tad nauseated. I think her sense of smell is also messed up, as well as her eyesight. What can I say, she's an old lady cat.
