Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2005Translation: "That smells like poop!"
I used to feed my kittens only dry food. Now I'm introducing them to canned food. So far, I've tried Iams and Science Diet. One of them, Sachi, thinks both of them smell like poo and starts pawing the carpet, trying to cover it up. He's started to eat it when he first sees it, but he's never failed to try to cover it up 30 seconds after he's done eating it (and he never eats it all). Is there anything that doesn't smell bad? I'm thinking of trying Nutro Max and Nutro Natural Balance (I think that's what it's called) soon. >I used to feed my kittens only dry food. Now I'm introducing them to > canned food.

It doesn't smell bad, he's only trying to cover it so no one else is going to eat it, so he can come back and eat the rest later. So it smells good. :) > >I used to feed my kittens only dry food.

So it smells good. :) Yep. Also, in the wild it might attract things that eat cats, too! "Gunnar Paulsen" wrote... > "Zathras" skrev i melding... > >I used to feed my kittens only dry food.

So it smells good. :) Is that actually true? My Kittles has been "burying" her food since the first day she came in this house. She'll eat a few bites, scratch all around the plate, eat another bite, scratch some more, finish the food, scratch for a full minute, sniff, then finally walk away. This means she likes it? ---Julia > "Gunnar Paulsen" wrote... >> "Zathras" skrev i melding...

So it is in their instincts to cover their food for later meals, and to avoid that the smell shall attract other predators that eats cats. My siamese loves canned food, and always scraches after he is full. He never do that with dry food. But i'm wondering if the smell of the food means more than the taste for the cat. I have tried to taste both canned and dry food, and none of it taste good. ;) Gunnar S. Paulsen >I used to feed my kittens only dry food. Now I'm introducing them to > canned food.
