TomTom Update
Jun. 2nd, 2012 02:37 amTomTom seems to be doing a little better with food. Though...those feeding syringes don't hold a whole lot of food. I figure some smaller "meals" throughout the day would work.
I would like to thank everyone here on LJ and also on FB who related anecdotes of having to syringe-feed their cats. This is one of those things I've never had a problem with - getting a cat to eat. And last night, I was definitely a bit freaked out with TomTom not eating. But having read your comments and done some research on the internets, I've come to learn that this isn't as uncommon as I previously thought it was. Your stories and support were all a bit of a much needed emotional and morale boost. Thank you all!
Oh, and Rocky just visited TomTom...and didn't hiss at all! Granted, he was just here for a few minutes and just sniffed at TomTom's tail, but, I'm glad he's definitely accepting TomTom as TomTom again.
Of course, as I'm pilling TomTom earlier, we had a power fluctuation. Nothing like trying to get a cat to swallow a pill and the lights going out. Trying to keep alert for signs he's swallowed the pill while trying to keep him from freaking at the loss of light and mentally debating whether to just remain still or risk him spitting out the pill while I grope in the dark for my flashlight... Yeah. But the lights came back on their own and all was well.
