Miracle food for my cat

My cat had stopped eating (renal disease & hyperactive thyroid) and he was wasting d/t the latter. I gave him Recovery and he ate it every time it was offered completely over 2.5-3 weeks. The only downside was it was nearly impossible weaning him off of it back to his senior food, as he never took to his 9 renal canned foods & 3 dry foods.

This is a rich food meant for temporary situations when a cat needs extra help due to illness or to spur on appetite. This brand, in contrast to another commonly used, is far smoother. It syringes very easily and cats seem to love it. I mix 1/6 a can with water to make a thick soup and give it in a bowl to my 2 diabetics if I'm not sure they ate enough before their inulin shot.

Unfortunately I have had to purchase this for a long while for several different cats because of health issues. Though all the cats love it! You can whip it to a velvety liquidly form. It is very expense but when you have a pet that need the nutrients in a high content this is the way to go. My Vet highly recommends and my cats do too!

Smells good! I like the moisture in it!

My cat does eat a bit! But never finishes it whole! But smells better than most cat food! Just very expensive seeing my cat only eats 1/4 of it. Sadly!
