Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2006Are my cats normal?
Last night I was in a real hurry, the trains had been bad and I had about 10 seconds to collect some things from home and feed the Furballs or I was going to be late for my game...So I grabbed the tin, pulled the ringpull and realised... I'd picked up a tin of tuna by mistake. Oh well I thought it won't be wasted. I've never given the kitties hoomin tuna before so I poured it in their bowl telling them what a big treat this was.. Sarrasine took one sniff and walked off with a look that said "Are you trying to poison us?!" Redunzel didn't even approach the bowl My cats don't like proper tuna!!! I thought they'd be up for it as tuna catfood is a favourite of theirs!

It is, what it is. kili >>Last night I was in a real hurry, the trains had been bad and I had >>about 10 seconds to collect some things from home and feed the Furballs [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > My cats won't eat tuna, either.

Of course, the tuna cat food is much more "fishy" tasting, I think, since it's made from the darker parts of the flesh, (Humans preferring the light meat.) > Last night I was in a real hurry, the trains had been bad and I had > about 10 seconds to collect some things from home and feed the [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Tuna is overrated :) Since Persia came to me as an unknown cat from the outside, when I first took her to the vet he wanted her to take worm pills. He told me to buy some water-packed tuna and tuck the pills in it. Persia turned up her nose at it and it wasn't the pills, trust me, it was the tuna. Even *I* don't eat canned tuna.

Yum yum! Persia > My cats don't like proper tuna!!! I thought they'd be up for it as tuna > catfood is a favourite of theirs! I don't think there is such a creature as 'a normal cat.' ;o) Frank and Nikki used to like tuna - when they first started getting hyperthyroidism meds, I used to hide it in a little tuna - but I haven't even tried it with Mir and Cali. I don't eat tuna myself, and I usually feed Caliban pouch food from the petstore, so I'd hardly pick up tuna by mistake, either. Miranda, of course, doesn't eat any cat food, so she might very well like tuna. Too much tuna isn't good for cats, of course.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

She wouldn't touch it plain. My Rexie now, Siamese, male, almost 4, doesn't like fish of any kind. Loki and maMA will eat anything, and I do mean anything!

Talk about a picky kitty - Harri Roadcat loves the water from cans of solid white tuna, but turns up her nose at the water from chunk light tuna :) Dan They're cats.

Fess up - you took the time to open up their regular food, didn't you? :-) Doc will eat just about anything, but Pi, although he loves tuna water, won't eat the tuna. I don't think he knows it's edible; he thinks it's just some sponge that holds the water.

Well they were doing their double act, they've got this down to a fine art. Sarrasine gives the look that says "Proper food or else!!" and Redunzel looks as if to say "Why don't you love me anymore?" I call it the "good cop bad cop" routine Yes I cleaned it up and fed them their normal stuff Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > > Fess up - you took the time to open up their regular food, didn't you? My former landlord used to ALWAYS run out of cat food every other week and feed his cats tuna until he got to the store. They loved it. Our guys--I don't think Smokey recognizes fish as food because he didn't eat it in the wild and the mess didn't serve it often. He is into chicken, beef, and especially pork products. Kumani won't eat anything moist, and Nocturne would probably demand caviar... I don't think Tyche even knows what she's eating most of the time, though lately I realize she won't eat the canned Science Diet food. Smokey gets it all. Tyche only wants crappy friskies. --Fil Nocturne would probably demand > caviar... No "probably" about it, she's a class act Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs >> > Fess up - you took the time to open up their regular food, didn't you? > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > --Fil Kitty FC will eat absolutely *anything.* Any leftover hoomin food is scarfed down no matter what it is. Carrots, potatoes, cabbage, brussels <gollop, gone down the hatch!> I suppose it's because she lived feral for so long, and appreciated anything she could get. OTOH, although Boyfie was lost for a while he will not eat any hoomin food whatsoever, not even sliced sausages which Kitty would die for. His favourite food is dried, so I guess he must have been reared on it in his previous life. He does eat the canned wet food I give him, but he often goes to his dry food bowl and begs, so I just give him a little bit of it. Tweed |
