I spent an hour online reading what everyone says about feline anorexia or other eating disorders related to feline illnesses. I'm not completely sure what to do. But I guess she really can't control her life lately, because I am barely in control of my own. I still am not in a place of my own and so Nuqta is always subject to a random kid petting her, which she hates but tolerates. And more terrible (to the cat) than her expanded social network is her choice of cuisine. She is usually so happy with Alley Cat or Friskies. But we don't have the luxury of cheapo catfoods. Instead she only gets tuna or sardines or some other assortment of fresh fish.
But she doesn't want fresh fish. I can't blame her though I am the big fan of fish who now hates to smell them or eat them. So today I wanted to get a vet to look at her. Maybe she has worms (haven't seen any) or fleas (nope) or something else (please no). But whatever is wrong I want to fix it and I don't want my kitty wasting away. Her chubs have all melted and now you pet a boney spine when you want to cuddle. Yuck. But yeah, the vet no-called. And he's the only one in this town.
So I got a syringe and some gerber baby food and mom gave me advice over the net; and dad helped me squirt it down her throat. So she has 6mg of Gerber in her as of 1:45am and another 3mg of baby vitamin juice. Around 4am we'll try to get another 6mg of Gerber down.
So far so good. I will keep you posted. I'm sure everyone is on the edge of their seat and praying for my kitty to get well soon. Don't send flowers, send dry cat food. ;-)

Try baking some boneless, skinless chicken breast in the oven and feeding her that.
Poor Nuqta passed away.
Thanks for the advice. Turns out she had "Didan" which I understand to be worms. Strange because she was up to date on shots, etc. before we came. The vet was pretty useless. When we left he said she would be eating by the end of the day, then she died 30 minutes later.
