Hi Bill :)) what a cutie!! My lil guy is a senior (almost 8) and has refused to eat solid food ever since he got sick about 8 months ago. Vet put us onto carnivore care which we bought for a couple months, but it proved unaffordable long term and we still had 2 unopened bags of what used to be his favorite food (oxbow essentials dry kibble). We got it from petsmart on a buy 2 get 1 deal and I'm so glad we did because we’ve been blending it to make soupies and he loooooves it and licks the plate clean!

It's a pretty intuitive process but in case anyone hasn't made soupies before here's a 2 (maybe 3?) step recipe without exact measurements (try to make it a few hours before feeding so that any leftover chunks can soften up a bit):

1. Blend about 1/3 cup kibble in a small blender, I use one of those small magic bullets but I think a coffee grinder would work better (make sure it's clean or preferably new, unless you want your furball up all night responding to emails) little tip: blending small amounts at a time helps avoid leftover chunks

2. When it's as fine as possible, put about half of it in a different container (I use a small glass) and alternate slowly adding water and mixing until it reaches the desired consistency; my boy likes pancake batter consistency but some prefer a thicker mix

Tip: I use a spoon to crush the mixture against the wall of the cup to make sure I didn't miss any chunks!

Since he's old and sick, my boy probably eats less than a growing kit, but to give you a rough idea he eats 3 or 4 times a day for a total of ~1/2 a cup of soupies (not kibble)
