I've tried every type of toy imaginable, all to no avail.

I'm always "rewarded with a "Don't infantalize me!" Look. 😓

She is now well over 16 lbs & absolutely demands to eat about every 3 hrs. I try to stretch out feedings, not only to reduce caloric intake, but to increase activity.

She starts opening & slamming cabinet doors, shoving things off tables, etc., etc. when she wants food.

One vet thought she was depressed, so she rxd compounded transdermal meds to rub on ears. That had no effect.

I've ordered the fish, as she is a "kucker-type" of kitty. Also ordered high quality Japanese silvervine powder. I'll make hot water & put powder in, then funnel into squirt bottle to spray a few times / week. I hope it works! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

I'm very hopeful she will prove to be in the reported 80% who experience a stimulant effect from the Japanese silvervine. I'd never heard of it before.

Thx again!
