Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2005abt that wellness food
made by old mother hubbard, Moe & Rudy won't touch it, the refuse to even take one bite of it and they have never turned down any other type of cat food lynn Lynn wrote: >>made by old mother hubbard, Moe & >> Rudy won't touch it, the refuse to even >> take one bite of it and they have never >> turned down any other type of cat food What flavor did you try? I use the chicken flavor and Amber and Tiger love it. Maybe they just didn't like the flavor you tried. ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') My cats have turned very cool to any of the Wellness chicken-plain, with lobster or with beef. We don't do much of the fish so they are down to Wellness Turkey plain or in combo, and Wellness dry food. But don't they want more variety? -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. > made by old mother hubbard, Moe & Rudy won't touch it, the refuse to > even take one bite of it and they have never turned down any other type > of cat food > > lynn My two cats at home love it. I feed them all of the non-fish flavors - chicken, beef & chicken and turkey. They like them all equally. They'll also eat Science Diet (non-fish flavors) and Petguard. I can't remember my home cats turning down any wet food, except Iams (even when Iams was a "good" brand). At work, Harriet will eat Wellness (seems to prefer chicken) but Stinky won't touch it. Stinky is always worried about when her next meal will arrive, but she won't eat Wellness. I gave it to her last week and she kept following me around, screaming, and leading me back to her bowl to show me that the stuff was inedible. I opened a can of her favorite Science Diet Light and she was happy. -- Liz > I gave it to her last week and she > kept following me around, screaming, and leading me back to her bowl to > show me that the stuff was inedible. And *some* people say cats aren't good at communicating! >> I gave it to her last week and she >> kept following me around, screaming, and leading me back to her bowl to >> show me that the stuff was inedible. > > And *some* people say cats aren't good at communicating! Stinky has led people into my office, sat in front of the tall filing cabinet looking up at the top drawer (where the food is kept), and begun screaming at whoever she brought in. She really is amazing at getting her point across. She's got me trained to follow her back to her "safe" area when she wants attention. She'll come in the office, yell at me and run out when I reach down to pet her. If I ignore her, she'll come back in and do it again. And again and again and again, until I get up. Then she'll head for her safe area in the back of the basement, constantly looking back to make sure I'm following. Once there, she'll jump onto her cat condo and wait for the loving. If I ignore her long enough she starts getting frantic. She even has a special little meow she makes *only* in her safe zone after she's lured me back there. -- Liz > made by old mother hubbard, Moe & Rudy won't touch it, the refuse to > even take one bite of it and they have never turned down any other type > of cat food > > lynn I'm not a fan of the Wellness food considering the recent supply problems where the company didn't communicate with the public about it. Unfortunately, it is all about reputation... Old Mother Hubbard didn't do their reputation any good with that little episode. > I'm not a fan of the Wellness food considering the recent supply > problems where the company didn't communicate with the public about it. > > Unfortunately, it is all about reputation...

OLD MOTHER HUBBARD APPOINTS NEW PRESIDENT - Old Mother Hubbard, a provider of all-natural human-grade pet foods and treats, has appointed Deborah Ellinger to president. In her new role, she has full responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the company, and oversees the Old Mother Hubbard, Wellness, and Neura brands. Ellinger lives in Wellesley with her husband, Vernon, two children, and their dog./Wellesley Townsman/9/29/05/ Interestingly, Ellinger has been with OMH only one year and joined OMH as the COO in September 2004. She was previously executive vice president of CVS Pharmacy, senior vice president of Staples, a partner of The Boston Consulting Group and vice president of Mellon Financial Services./Petfood Industry E-Newsletter/9/8/04/ I stopped using it...It changed radically from when I first started buying it at the beginning of the year, it's become very oily and smelly. Plus, their problems are so public, why take risks? Too bad, because it had such a good reputation. Since this is a special cat food, not known to the general public, that decline will be hard to overcome. >> made by old mother hubbard, Moe & Rudy won't touch it, the refuse to >> even take one bite of it and they have never turned down any other type [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >Unfortunately, it is all about reputation...
