25. There is also a product called "Catsure"
It's the feline equivalent of Ensure. They make a Dogsure,too. You can find it at PetSmart and some grocery stores. Our local Kroger carries it. You can find it in the section that has all the supplements and hairball remedies. It has more nutrients than the Whiskas Milk or CatSip. But, if the cat prefers those, you can always slip some liquid vitamins into it.

I have found that warming the wet food sometimes helps, as do sardines or other really stinky foods. Warming the food up slightly makes it smell more, which might make it more enticing. My sixteen year old has kidney failure, which has reduced his appetite. On bad days, I have to keep warming his food, or feeding him some really stinky fish variety. He also gets a dose of a high-calorie supplement, such as the one mentioned earlier in the thread. And, even when he's not feeling all that well, he loves his treats. If I sprinkle some of those on his food, he's more likely to eat the food. Probably not good for him, but at this point, I just want him happy, as he doesn't have a lot of time left.
