He's 8.3lbs.
Seriously.
8.3lbs.
He is fully transitioned onto a home-made diet now. He is having NORMAL bowel movements. If they were in the litter box, I wouldn't know they belonged to him. They tend to be just in front of the litter box. I think he starts in the box and the force of trying to go to the bathroom makes him come back out again. He still has issues actually expelling it from his person, even though it is not hard stool. He goes once a day now. Rarely does he make any laundry.
If this helps anyone, this is what we've done with his diet:
1lb extra lean ground chicken
1tsp ground freeze-dried chicken liver
3tsp Alnutrin with eggshell calcium
Hard-cooked egg.
Cook the chicken in 1/3 cup water. Keep the juices. Allow to thoroughly cool. Smash with potato masher and than a fork. Stir in liver and Alnutrin well. Add warm water. Stir again. (Not a lot of warm water. Eyeball it). Package in zipper bags and store in freezer.
When it's defrosted, take a hand blender to it to remove most of the lumps. Spoon into dish, sprinkle generously with hard-cooked egg, nuke for ten seconds. Feed to waiting cat. Fluff when he's licked it into the edge of the dish. Top with Nutritional Yeast when he doesn't want to finish the last mouthful of egg. Wash dish.
I can't believe it.
