Question
Hi, my kitten is approx. 7 months old and 2 months ago she fell ill suddenly and stopped eating and was vomiting everyday for 2 weeks then the vet gave us anti biotics and that seemed to help but now she seems to be picky with food and wont eat her own instead comes after our food in a most aggressive way scratching and biting especially for chicken and raw meat...she has a couple of bites of her own food but as soon as she hears us in the kitchen her own food is no longer appealing and she still vomits at least once a week lasting from 2-3 days with every passing day easing down a bit....can you help please..

thanks

Answer
Hi Phaing,

I am attaching a recipe for something called Kitty Glop. This stuff is fantastic. Your kitten will eat it down and keep it down. It will put weight on her. Feed her this when you eat. That will help stop her from attacking you while you eat.

This is very good for convalescing kitties. If you cannot get some of the ingredients write back and I will help you find substitutions. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen



KITTY GLOP




INGREDIENTS:
1 can evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
2 tbsp. plain yogurt (not low or non fat)
2 tbsp. mayonnaise (real not light or No-Fat)
1 tbs. Karo Syrup (light)
1 pkg. Knox gelatin
1 egg yolk (beaten, )
1 cup Pedialyte (unflavored)
1- 2 jars Stage One Baby food (chicken or turkey)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix milk, yogurt, mayonnaise, baby food, and syrup together well. Bring 1 cup pedialyte to boil and mix in Knox gelatin. Set aside. Mix egg yolk with small amount of milk mixture and beat well.

Add gelatin and pedialyte to milk mixture and beat well. Add in egg yolk mixture and beat well. Remember to not use egg substitute and keep egg white to a minimum.

Pour into bowl (with cover) and set in refrigerator. Glop will last for two weeks covered in refrigerator. Try freezing the mixture in ice cube trays and store the cubes in the freezer, thaw as many as needed.
Always warm glop to room temperature ,(milk form), or a little warmer, before feeding.
