Haiku Would Not Eat

This has been a horrible week. I could not get Haiku to eat liver, even a little bit.  She would eat a little bit of dry treats, and the Special Kitty dry food that I feed to the outside cats, but she would not eat anything else.  She licked a little bit of gouda, but that could not sustain her.  I was so worried.  Because she is eating dry food, I have to think she does not have the infection of gums that Sake had.  I cooked a chicken breast one night. She slurped up the juices but ignored the tiny pieces of chopped up chicken in the dish. 

I thought she might have a hairball, and I had some gelatinous hairball remedy that is salmon flavored.  She did not object to my putting it on her paws, and cleaned it up and sniffed the tube, so I let her eat some from the tube. I did not want her to get sick, so I limited the amount. It was late at night, so the next morning, I made a trip to the grocery store, before I went to work, to get some salmon based foods, but she turned her nose up at those! This was really frustrating.

The next night, she lapped up the hairball remedy on her paws, and ate some more from the hairball remedy tube. She took some Gouda, but she does not eat little bitty bites of Gouda.  She only likes to lick it from a piece, so I cut it in small chunks, and hold it for her to lick. She ate some dry food.  

I finally got smart, and fed the outside cats the rest of the container of liver she did not like, and defrosted another. She ate that well, on Thursday morning and Thursday night, Friday morning and Friday night.  The crisis has past.  Almost. On Friday night, I went out, so when I got home, she wanted more liver, which she got, twice.  But she wanted me to go to bed with her at what would be a normal bedtime for me.  But because I was out, I am still winding down.  She finally decided to come sit on her chair in the computer room, next to me, so I can pet on her while I am on the computer.  Hopefully another crisis has passed.
