Miss Cleo wasnt doing so well last night -- she's on tapazole for her thyroid, has been for about 2 or so years, and every so often, goes into a situation where she can't keep food down and has trouble urinating. (Signs of renal failure, btw) -- usually its just an evening and then everything is back to normal the next day.

But with the current food scare, and the fact that she's only been eating wet food for a while (she's gotten very picky about dry foods and wouldnt eat anything for a while) -- i freaked when I saw that Trader Joe's had pulled all their wet food from the shelves AND she was doing her puking up everything and drinking a ton of water and having trouble peeing.

So now, the Queen of the Nile, Cleopatra is getting chopped up boiled chicken mixed with brown rice, which she is QUITE HAPPILY eating.

She's finally won. She gets people food, chicken in particular.

(She's got an appt. at the vet tomorrow, btw)

I'll ask the vet, but is there a real issue with an old cat like her (she's 19 years old) just feeding her this way? Its not a ton of extra work for me, and it smells better then the wet food I was feeding her. I'll check out petco's natural dry food as it seems its one of the few NOT made by Manu foods.

(I'm still sick. :( )
