To bed with you, human.

A moment was had. It did not last, as #NorahNeko got bored after a few minutes and left 🤦🏼♀️

Actually, it was more "where the hell did you come from, and how can I get back to my closet?!" 😂. I'm standing just by the door, and I've zoomed in a fair way on my camera. He does have the confidence to explore when I'm not around, but is still extremely nervous when I'm in the room.

Good evening. We have eaten absolutely nothing all day because you were looking far too confident this morning 😐

That's a great expression 😅

It's the best news I've had in several weeks 😂 Fingers all crossed that it lasts.

Thank you! It was very under-the-wire, but I think we're now making good progress 🙂

Admittedly frozen like a weeping angel because he spotted me, but #CasperCat said a good morning to #NorahNeko too. (Who admittedly was mainly there for his cat grass.)

After not eating all day yesterday and making me fear a trip to the vet yet again… #CasperCat cleaned the plates overnight! As well as making a hole in his dry food bowl and drinking some cat milk 🎉
No lie, this is one hell of a relief.

This is the message from #CasperCat for you all today. I'm hoping this is the face of a cat that ate all the churu on his plate. I suspect... it's a face that ate some of it (based on time stamps) 🤦♀️ Last night, Casper ate a treat I'd planted in a likely hiding spot. I planted another this morning.

Not remotely relevant apart from the "cute" factor, but Cassie used to love watching bird videos on YouTube. She would provide full-on commentary about each and every feathery specimen she was planning to eat 😂

The churu that #CasperCat ate was tuna and bonito flavour. Unable to find the exact one, I bought the same type but one tuna flavour and one bonito flavour.
Both were rejected.
I searched Tokyo for the required flavour and found 4 packets, thereby guaranteeing Casper will swear off it by tonight 🤨

HA-LLELUJAH! HA-LLELUJAH!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halle-lu-ja-ah
(It's a lickable churu cat treat, although by more dumb luck than planning as I was cycling through absolutely everything, it's the nutritional version. We're not out the woods, but it's a start!)

NEVER LET IT BE SAID THAT I DON’T TRY OUT THE CRAZIEST IDEAS. #CasperCat, do you only now eat at the trap restaurant?!

I am using feliway. He wasn't really sitting on the window bed. He just bounced there for a moment while he was trying to avoid me. He's free to go there, but does not.

Look, #CasperCat! Cat grass! It’s basically outside.

I asked the vet yesterday about something to help him relax but they didn’t not recommend it. I will ask again on Sunday, but it may not be available here.

This morning I found #CasperCat behind the filing cabinet 🤦🏼♀️ But he still has not eaten. At this stage, I’m probably going to take him back to the vet on Sunday, get nutrients to set him up, and release him back outside on Monday 😕 I’m sad, but the message is clear.
