How Long Would You Wait

[queenofmean]

...before giving up perseverance? One of my cats has possible 'bowel' issues and the vet gave me medication and new food to try. He is to get 1-2 cans a day. It is also ok for the other cats to eat the food too, he said. The cat food comes with a money back guarantee, so I can take it back. It has been 5 days and said cat won't eat it and even the cat that will eat EVERYTHING (almost) won't look at it. Should I wait until Friday and say I have given it a week or should I just stop. The tablets seem to help, and if this wasn't to work he is to have an endoscopy.

Erm....I do know which cat has gone normally, but I haven't done the litter trays since Saturday, dad has and he is about as observant as a blind man in the dark without a guide dog!

Also totally off subject here. Max will often 'scrape' at the floor around his food as if he wants to cover it like it was if he has been in the litter box. Any ideas as to why?

Queenie, not an expert, but I think the scratching around the food bowl means he wants to cover it up and come back to it without another moggie having eaten it.
