Update: Between 9 and 10 PM is the dog's 'Bone Time' (used to be more than one dog, but no longer). The dog gets 'milk bones' and a chew flip or two; the kitties know to come at Bone Time, and they get Meow Mix or some such commercial cat pellets as treats (as opposed to their regular ration of Pro Plan kibbles (the 'urinary tract health' kind).
So tonight they both came down at Bone Time, and were eager to get some treats, which they ate—not a huge quantity, but more than the last few days for sure. They also had some scraps of the salmon that we had for dinner. So they both seem to be getting their appetites back, though they have not gone for their Pro Plan kibbles yet, and don't seem very interested in the canned cat food my wife got for them—a real treat, we would have thought. Ali the dog loves it, though!
Here they are eating: Liza is the grey, quiet longhair; Rocky is the chatty white one. Sorry for the lousy iPhone pic.
See, they are eating!

PS No vet as yet. We can afford it, Gene; but it would be really traumatic for the kitties, so I won't subject either to it unless really necessary. We still think it was a virus.
