Sando is upset again because Spiegel gets to eat kibble but he can't. I am giving you so many options of wet food ffs cat eat something.

He's been really cuddly today but maybe it's because he hopes I'll feed him kibble.

Note this isn't particularly tasty kibble. It's gastro stuff for Spiegel's health issues. I think he's just wanting it on principle

Sando convinced Spiegel to give him a wash, which Spiegel did until he sniffed and remembered that Sando was a pod person and he stopped.
Now I'm starting to worry. Sando won't seem to eat anything but the squeeze tube treats, and he's weak enough that he can't fight me if I grab him. Calling the vet for suggestions
I'm glad I kept the coffee grinder, I've ground down some kibble for him under the vet tech's suggestion (who thought I could just "crush" the kibble, lol no). Sando had a bit, but not that much.

The vet has stated that if I can’t get Sando eating again then I am to give up and let him have the full-sized kibble. So I’ll see how he is over the next day.

My previous cat really was on easy mode compared to the current shitheads.

@giflian I had one cat who, near the end of his life, suddenly decided he wasn't going to eat any cat food. We kept him going on a diet of canned fish. You do what you have to, but it is always tough when they are being picky. Hugs, and I hope you can find what gets him eating again.
@commonst Yeah, I dealt with that with my last cat’s final year. This certainly isn’t a dire situation, Sando is 3.5 years old and otherwise healthy. I’m just trying to keep it that way.
@giflian oh wow, yeah. I hope he stays healthy and has a long amd happy life.
