Cats can have anxieity issues as do other animals. Has the vet recommended any particular diet for him and suggested not feeding him too much, too often. He's eating his food so fast because of his earlier treatment and no doubt doing this as he's afraid he won't be fed again for a while. I feed my cats a high quality dried food that I buy from the vets and this is always available for them and they just graze when hungry. They also have plenty of water available as well. This is a full diet and there's no need for extra food such as tinned meats etc. Do you know if he's had his vaccinations at all as this should be done on a regular basis to keep him healthy. Obviously from Jack's background, he's still feeling insecure and needs a loving environment which he appears to have now. He'll need time and patience and a lot of loving to slowly change but in the end I'm sure he will.

When I have anxiety I enjoy (not eat) a piece of dark good chocolate.

Well I do gatorade and bananas when I am overly stressed. I think bread and milk are supposed to be good to. They used to tell my mother air popped popcorn without salt of butter. I would think plain rice and chicken would be good too. I like soup when I don't feel well. Maybe saltines too. For me it is gatorade and bananas.

I don't know the best food, maybe chocolate. Tea, as a drink, always makes me feel better.

Lots of yummy chocolates and a nice cup of cappuccino to wash them down...

warm milk with a spoon of honey in it. Honey is said to have anti anxiety properties. same with warm milk.

Chocolate!!!!!!

Anything and EVERYTHING not kidding just indulge in all your favorites it will calm you down...

CHOCOLATE BAR or TEA...

trust me..
