My cat hates me :-(

Okay, note to self... Cats hate to be force fed. I guess we got him to eat more than normal, but it certainly wasn't 3/4 of a can of high calorie cat food. Turkey baster wasn't working, so we resorted to my fingers. I've been trying to corner him and get him to smell the food and lick my fingers - all the while saying, "Pumpkin, lick lick!" I just really hope we can get him to eat this stuff or else my vet will be sticking a tube in his stomach. And I'm sure he will not like those feedings any better...
