Still Doing Well!

So although I have the most impossible cat to administer anything to, Weasel is still - cross our fingers, doing extremely well.

So far, we've had success putting the Naltrexone on his ear each night and up until today, he's taken his Yunnan treat (which morphed into a capsule wrapped in cream cheese within tasty cat food) and at night, the Amino B-Plex, the Life Gold, Omega-3 and Essiac Tea in a treat.  BUT, since he is the most finicky and difficult cat, possibly in the universe, he's decided today that treats aren't worthy of his time.  Food that only a week ago had him excited, he's sniffing at and walking away from.  He doesn't appear to be in pain today, having not taken the Yunnan but with cats it's very hard to tell.

He also just walked away from his night time treat which even included a new type of tuna in a different canned sauce.  I just finished cooking a strip of bacon and added bits of that to his food so he finally ate the treat but was still tentative so I can see that this may work two times - tops.

Weasel is the strangest kitty.  He's no longer interested in pill pockets, cream cheese or sardines, salmon, cooked chicken, tuna, etc. etc. He still eats his normal meals that don't include any vitamins or herbal remedies but if we throw our hands up and let him 'win', it's the end of everything we've achieved so far.  I have to say, I imagine that many people may just do that and quite possibly, we as well may hit that point, but for now I still have a very small amount of hope remaining. I love the little guy to death.  I wish he knew why we did what we do.

On another note, I've discovered accidentally that wheatgrass is used to treat cancer.  I recently bought a juicer and was excited about making myself health drinks each day.  In my frustration of discovering that the wheatgrass simply shoots out into the disposal bin, after which I 'Googled' this issue, I came across not only 'wheatgrass juicers' but pages and pages about how wheatgrass treats cancer.  Thankfully, cats enjoy eating grass so for the past two days, both kitties have had a bit of this on their plate that they don't mind chewing on.  Weasel already is getting bored of it though but his brother will certainly be extremely healthy.  My goal is to eventually purchase a wheatgrass juicer and add the juice of it to their food as I doubt it would be offensive in flavour.
