[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feed her whatever she likes.

We have an elderly cat that periodically will only eat anchovy butter. Obviously not a good long term diet, but once or twice a year, she will hunger strike for days and end up at the vet. Anchovy butter is what lures her back to eating. After a week, I start sneaking bits of chicken and other morsels in. Gradually I reduce the anchovy butter to a mere smear beside her canned food. The next day, nothing but her regular food. [/quote]

Do you make the anchovy butter? How did you discover she likes it? I’m willing to give her anything![/quote]

She’d swiped it before and we were desperately trying anything she had a past affinity before. 
We make our own without garlic for her.

What does your cat like to steal from your plate?[/quote]

She doesn’t... she’s a super sweet cat, and has never tried to eat our food. Her brother has always tried to lick the tops from
vanilla yogurt, so I offered some of that. I also mixed butter with water from a can of tuna. No interest.

While I was on the phone with the vet just now, she ate about three mouthfuls of kitten food, so my hope is that we are moving in the right direction! [/quote]
