I just woke up from a nightmare where my husband tried to have me committed because he didn’t believe I was starving to death.
Of course, I’m hardly starving (sitting here eating my Blueberry Instant Oatmeal), but my cat, Mimi, is. She is seeing the vet on Friday, so please don’t think we’re just idly sitting by. Since she did take some tuna juice and little bits of tuna, kept it down, and later used her litter box, the vet said it’s not an emergency. We’re just to keep giving her tuna flavored water, to keep her hydrated, and little bits of tuna when she can.
It’s only two more days, but it hurts to see her come running when she hears the kitty snack pack rattle and all she can do is lick the snack. She’ll push food out of the food bowl, but she can’t eat it.
My husband and I think it might be a hairball. Mimi has very fine fur and always looks like she’s had a bad hat hair day. It mats very easily, and it’s painful for her and for me, to comb those knots out.
I hope she’s all right. She’s such an affectionate thing and so very beautiful.

Jayne – has your vet checked Mimi’s kidney function? What she’s doing sounds a lot like what two of my cats who had kidney failure did.
Good luck figuring out what’s going on with her.
