I'd noticed that Mari hadn't touched much of her dry food, so I called up the MSPCA and asked what I should do, since she's already so skinny. They said to try to introduce her to wet food but to still keep the dry available so the transition's easier. I was also warned that switching food might cause mild vomiting and diarrhea. Well, we already had the first one without any switch, so I'll take my chances.
So I ran out a little while ago and got some wet food, and boy, did she eat that like she'd never seen food in her life! I was glad she went at it so vigorously, since I'd started to wonder if I was dealing with an anorexic cat! I'm not kidding when I say she's the cat equivalent of Kate Moss, and I keep telling this cat "I need to put some meat on you!" She was a stray in Dorchester before she was with the MSPCA, and they apparently fattened her up from what she was originally, which I find mind boggling. Hopefully a few weeks of this will get her up to a healthy weight.
