An empty bowl

Having said that he's been eating normally, we've usually had at least a scattering of grains of rice left after each meal. (Meals these days are part Hill's tinned k/d plus one part chicken to two parts rice, in proportions 1:2:3 for Breakfast:Lunch:Dinner.) We've been cooking the rice with garlic and chilli powder, and then mixing more in with it after cooking to try to make it more appealing.

Today, I got the blender out to chop up some fresh chilli for the latest batch of rice, and while it was out, decided to mince the chicken and mix it in well with the rice.

To be fair, he was keen to eat to start off with, but whether it was mixing in the minced chicken, or just the minced chilli and garlic in the rice, tonight was the first time he's completely cleared his bowl for a month or so. (Well, OK. He did leave ONE grain of rice!)

He seems to have stopped moulting like mad too, although he's still looking scrawny. His coat is looking shinier again though.
