Still doing pretty good over here. She woke me up at 330am scratching like a mad women on her scratch post!!! Never thought Id say I was happy when my cat woke me in the middle of the night

I do give all the meds I can through the tube. Just one only comes in a pill form so I have to give that to her by mouth plus she has to have an empty stomach as well. She happily tried to fight me off this morning when I gave it to her though

A couple of questions though, first, if you have had a cat on a feeding tube how much food did you give at one sitting?? Ive got her up to 30cc about 5 times a day right now. I have a call into the vet about this but just wondering what others have done. Second, does anyone have any ideas on how keep the feeding tube wraped up/covered so she doesnt bother with it?? Its stiched in several places but Im still scared she will pull it out, the vet suggested a baby onesie but I havent tried that yet.

Thanks,

Becki
