Thread: Force feed/drink

If he can't chew try a mousse / pate type of food. I wouldn't really care what he was having so long as he was having something although obviously the better quality stuff is ideal.

At a year old my three are very different in size and weight. Lily is still only 4.25 Kg, Arnold 7 Kg and Jock somewhere inbetween. Of them all, Lily has the biggest appetite but she is also the most active. Hence, she looks like a rake.

How much is it costing to take him to the vet to be weighed? Don't get me wrong, I think it is a good idea that he is under supervision of a professional but weekly weigh ins at the vet? Really? I weigh mine at home, much less frequently now but I used to weigh them it seemed like every day.

None of my 3 would touch Nutrigel +. They all loved Nourish-Um. Same idea and I have no idea what the difference in composition is.

It is difficult not to become neurotic about it but I agree with Antonia, try and associate feeding with fun. I also wouldn't be too worried about him sleeping. That's what kittens do. Just make sure he is able to maintain his body temperature or make sure you are doing that for him.
