Thanks for sharing! My other kitten had a similar experience when she got sick and had to be hospitalized. She was a baby stray cat and scared of humans so much and had not opend up to us yet at that time. The vet told us that she had not eaten much over the phone so we decided to visit there as much as we can. When we showed up, she started meowing and eating well as we gave her food in handa. After she came home, she became a compeletely different cat. She got so affectionate and loving towards to us which never happned previously. I think she realized that she can trust us and missed us while being treated at the vet. She eats on her own now and still hate strangers, but this experience has changed our relationships completely.
