I am sorry to hear about your cat Rollo, perhaps the Vet could suggest suitable food. Hope he will soon be on the mend.

Poor little cat.
In my experience, a cat will not eat until it's ready to. Just offer him a little of his favourites now and again until he's ready. Have you tried a morsel of cheese? Most cats I've had can't resist it.
Try not to worry, Rollo, he will eat as soon as he feels able - a cat would never starve itself.

You could try baby rice. That's what we gave our kittens when our cats had them. Cheaper than Lactol.

Sorry to hear the beating your poor cat took.

Many years ago when our old moggy was hit by car it was also discovered she had kidney problems and had to live the rest of her life on only white meat.

Have you tried boiling chicken and pulping it to almost a puree?

I am assuming that it needs to be nothing rich.

Have you tried complan?

Another alternative may be very small pieces of bread soaked in water if he cannot take milk.

Did the vet not recommend anything?

When I worked at a vets, the nurse gave pilchards or tuna to the cats who were reluctant to eat.

Wishing poor puss a speedy recovery.

I like both dogs and cats. Since our red setter was killed in a road accident we now have just the two cats.One of them came to live with us by accident as a small kitten when we were asked to look after him for a week. On account of his desperate state of health we kept him and eventually he grew into a small but bouncy and friendly cat who never chases more than leaves in the wind and dislikes fighting.

He has been badly beaten up and after a serious vet's bill is now back with us hovering between light and dark, daily vet's visits. He can drink water. Luckily we have partial a/c so can at least keep him cool.

I wonder if anybody has any idea what we can feed him on as he is going to be like this for a couple of weeks, maybe more. He hates cat milk. Right now senior cat is enjoying all manner of delicacies which have been turned down.
