I feel like such a PW, but - is there such a thing as satin balls for cats?

Cat lost more than a pound after his surgery and was already on the thin side.  The vet rated him Wednesday at a 3 on the body scale.  This was after he gained about half a pound back.  So I need to put some weight on him and keep it on him.  He's being fussy about food at the moment, so I was thinking that maybe he'd go for something homemade as a supplement (he'll still get his two squares of canned a day, this is just in addition to help him get back to fluffy and healthy).

However, everything I can find online lists satin balls as too carb-heavy for cats, so I need to know if anyone has done this or has a reputable recipe.  I tried googling but a lot of the results were either non-workable (with his restrictions) or didn't seem to be reputable.

  • When KittyCat was sick, the vet sold me a couple cans of a special diet food that is super high calorie. Maybe it would be good to get some for Cat to mix in with his food for some days?

  • I've definitely seen them for dogs (I believe someone even posted a recipe or something here, but it was nearly a year ago and I really can't remember who it was), but never seen a cat-appropriate version so much as mentioned. :/
