Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2006I've created monsters!
I have been trying to get my gang to eat canned food for quite a while with no success whatsoever. A couple of weeks ago I spotted the new Fancy Feast Elegant Gourment variety and decided to give it a try. I don't know that was such a good idea. For the past week as soon as I get up I have four little furballs screaming at me incessantly until I give them thier new treat. The poor little things are on the verge of death due to starvation! LOL. The main problem, aside from the price, is they only like the Yellow Fin Tuna, I don't know if I should be giving it to them every day or not. I give them each a 1/2 can once a day in addition to their dry food.

They will only eat the sliced/marinated/shredded kinds in gravy--they have no use for pate. Kumani won't eat wet food at all. Nox will eat it sometimes, but mostly she prefers to wait until everyone else is done eating before she will dine, and there is never any left over. If I put hers down later, Tyche is right there in it, and then it's no good for Nox any more. I feed Smoeky and Tyche wet food every day, mostly because I don't want SMokey getting urinary tract troubles from no wet food. --Fil > I have been trying to get my gang to eat canned food for quite a > while with no success whatsoever.

She was forever trying to trick me into giving it to her on other days. I held my ground, mainly because of the price. Now she's strictly on prescription food after her bladder surgery a couple of years back. She doesn't really like the wet version of the Hill's x/d. The vet said it's fine for her to only eat the dry, at least for now. Thank goodness she likes *that* because there really isn't an alternative food for her. Jill Hi Randy, Me too!!! After tasting the yellowfin tuna there was no going back for my girls, Xena and Callisto. They look at me like I'm trying to poison them if I give them something else. I only give them each 1/4 can in the morning and sometimes in the evening as a treat. They have the Nutro weight management dry food out all the time for their regular food. They have both gotten rather "fluffy", Xena is 12 lbs and Callisto is 14.5! Jennie > I have been trying to get my gang to eat canned food for quite a while with no > success whatsoever.

LOL! They are unlikely to die of starvation if they are getting half a can plus dry food per day. They obviously like the new wet food and I can't think of a reason why they shouldn't have Yellow Fin Tuna flavour every day - it will have everything they need in it. You do realise they will get fed up with YFT flavour soon and you will need to get them something else? <grin> Tweed > LOL!

Over the years we have gone through many different prescription food and there was never any problem. He eats whatever was put on his plate, even prescription food that I heard other cats didn't like or bland food that TED didn't think he would eat. He doesn't get tired of the same food either. The changes of food were from his changing health conditions. The only times he won't eat were when he lost his appetite while on antibiotics. He is very easy going. At 8-9 lbs he pretty much can eat all he wants except I limit his intake to the recommended one can a day since prescription food is pricey. Even so, a case of food doesn't even last a month.

They will get tired of it on the day after you buy them a whole case of it! Jane > good idea.

Our monsters sometimes wake us up so we can feed them. :)  SignatureVictor M.

Our monsters sometimes wake us >up so we can feed them. :) Smokey and Tippy do wake us up. Tippy is the usual culprit. Dennis has Meniere's disease in his right ear and if he is laying on his left side he can't hear the alarm clock, so if he doesn't shut it off right away Tippy will paw at him until he wakes up. Of course that is if he doesn't get him up 30 mins or so early. I am hearing impaired in both ears and I never hear his clock. Smokey usually wakes us up early on weekends when we don't have to get up early by walking up us and giving us head butts.

She gets one can a day, plus a little dry food. And she hates chicken. I have a box of chicken Fancy Feast to give to my friend's cats, who will eat anything that's not nailed down. *sigh* Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita |
