Pliny and Taco Bob are both getting up there in age. The problem with Pliny is that he isn’t food motivated. I can sometimes give him churu treats, but he mainly just wants to be pet and loved.
I hate that he starts to associate me with “cat torture time” after he’s been on the meds for a few weeks. Wish I could bribe him with treats.
Cats have better clocks than we give them credit for. If part of petting and loving is brushing, it might help to start brushing him at a given time every day before moving to meds and brushing. My kitty is 15 now, but the addition of meds to bed routine started maybe a year and a half ago.
She is currently pawing and sighing at me because I hyper fixated and missed her usual bedtime xD
