Sick Dogs and Cats that won’t Eat – Pet Tip 252
We all know how important nutrition is to good health. Food gives us fuel for energy and allows us to do things that we usually take for granted. The same goes for animals. However, when an animal is sick, or is in the hospital, it can often be very tricky to get them to eat properly. The term “anorexia” means that an animal is inappetent, uninterested in food, and has stopped eating. It is very important to keep the calories up in a sick patient since this is the time they need them the most. Nutritionists have calculated formulas for energy requirements for different sized animals that are healthy.

Dexter was my brother John's best friend and I had the privilege of knowing and loving him too.
Dexter was the nicest cat ever. He was patient, funny, entertaining mischievous & affectionate.
In the picture you can see that Dexter would love to hang on tight to the arm of the chair and John would spin him around and he loved it.
II liked to call him "Jelly Belly" because when he walked his tummy swished back & forth. I also called him "Handsome" - because he was indeed handsome when he stretched out for petting. He liked to roll this way & that to show off how handsome he was.
I sometimes called him "Raccoon Butt" - for obvious reasons :) It was pretty funny to see him halfway out his cat window and all you could see was his butt.
He was a gentleman with his good friend "Sheba" who dearly misses him. Now she has to open her cat food without his "help". She watches for him constantly.
He loved to swing his window cat door back & forth like it was a game or maybe just to get attention. He had many ways of gettting attention and all were hilarious.
He is truly missed.
We love you Dexter
