The good news is that Iggy ate some wet food this morning! In fact, I saw him at the food bowl twice. I have taken away the dry food, so he is forced -- but I was afraid he might choose not to eat at all. With his kidney disease, it is important that he eat wet food. The kidney diet food would be best, but he won't eat that, and dying of malnutrition isn't a good thing, either. I read several articles on the subject, and it appears that a wet food that is 60% protein and 40% fat is acceptable. There are three flavors of Authority which meet those guidelines, and it looks like it is tasty enough that he will eat it!

I forgot to sprinkle the probiotic on it, but I will do that tomorrow. It is supposed to be tasty, as well as good for him.

He does drink a lot, but that is typical for cats with CKD. He also pees a lot.

No more spending since yesterday's entry. I'm going to the gym in a few minutes, but I won't be making any side trips. Looks like it will be a calm and uneventful day.

I've gone over the budget carefully, and it looks like every dollar that comes in on pay day will have a job. I won't be able to save very much for the table. But it occurred to me that I will probably get a tax refund in the $1000 range -- I have in the past, for quite a few years. (Even though I do not claim myself as an exemption.) So that can definitely be earmarked for table repair. As well as the insurance/warranty money, if it ever comes in.
