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?

My doctor said that she finally decided it was *much* better to get
them to
eat, than to worry about them eating the k/d or g/d. She lost too many
battles trying to enforce a strict diet.

Maybe I didn't put things clearly. They both eat the KD dry food, and
seem to enjoy it. I haven't bothered with KD for the canned food, since
Skeeter doesn't eat canned food, and Lindy doesn't need the special
diet.

Ah, sorry. My mistake!
