I like the idea of the cat treat. I usually give her a few last thing
at night, so I know she likes them. That might do the trick.

Yes she would most likely pester you but, if you can stand it don't

put down
the food. After a few days she might stop looking for it. I have never

had
this problem but why put food down that is not going to be eaten. Have

you
thought about just giving her a cat treat and not the food .

I'm at a loss what to do. Skeeter almost never eats anything but

dry
food. Lindy eats (or has eaten in the past) both wet and dry food.
Lindy gets very picky at times, and at one time I kept a record of
everything I fed her and how much of it she ate, so I could be sure

to
buy the kinds of food she likes. Now she doesn't seem to like any

of
it.

Since Skeeter is now on KD, they are both eating that - the dry

kind.
Lately, Lindy has not been eating the canned food at all. The dry

food
is down all the time, and I try to feed Lindy the wet food at around
6:00. Every day she starts pestering me about 5:00, and keeps

pestering
until I go out and put the dishes on the floor. (I always divide it
into two dishes so Skeeter won't feel left out, even though she

almost
never eats any) When I put the food down, Lindy will sometimes lick

off
any gravy, and occasionally she will take a nibble or two.

Sometimes
she won't even go near the dish, or goes up to it and gives it a
disgusted look. Then she wants out. I leave the dishes down until
bedtime and then pick them up.

I'm getting tired of spending the money on food she doesn't eat,
especially since KD is so much more expensive than Friskies. I'm
tempted to stop putting down the canned food, but that would

probably
mean she would keep pestering me until bedtime.

Any suggestions?
