You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If you want suggestions, here are some (spoiler-fonted in case you have already tried fifteen things, and just need me to shush and leave it alone): 1) smelly is good - try tuna or other canned fish, or drizzle tuna juice over his food. Or maybe it is time to go with Fancy Feast, although it is not the highest quality nutrition, it is best of the cheap stuff, and it is very smelly. Baby foods (without onion or garlic powder added) is smelly and is sometimes tempting when proper cat food is not. 2) Nutri-cal [link] works on the same principle as nutritional shakes like Boost for humans - lots of nutrients, lots of flavor, easy to get down. You might have to put some in his mouth at first, but he may perk up and take some independently after the first taste. 3) canned pumpkin will sometimes tempt a cat when other foods are no longer appealing.

Also, sending lots of purr-vibes.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Gods, Jessica, I am so verry sorry. As Aims said, if you need *anything*, let us know.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

beth, I am sorry. These little ones, it's so hard to watch them get sicker and not know what to do.

Foster Kitty fell when trying to jump up on my bed last night, and she can't get up on roomie's bed either which is much lower. She's being fed kitten food now to try and get the max calories into her system. Plus, she's reduced her obnoxious meowing dramatically. She's going to the vet Friday, I think. We just got her and she's a PITA, but I love the little cuss.

Poor foster kitty. I hope the vet can come up with some ways to make her more comfortable.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh, Jessica. I'm so, so sorry. You and E and D are in my thoughts. I wish there were anything we could do to help you all through this.

Fuck. I'm so sorry, Jessica. Holding you and yours in my thoughts.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

beth, I am so sorry about Andy Cat. I hope some of WindSparrow's suggestions can work.
