"noone" wrote in message et... "cybercat" wrote in message om... Sure, I could force her to get hungry enough to eat anything, So it DOES work, huh? Thank you. That's what I'm going to do then. Why? Not for meanness, but because they always had been just fine with dry until just recently, and it's not called for. I don't mind indulging them with a little "treat" every now & then, that's fine--but not if it turns them into picky little snobs, in that case the treats are abolished. No, No, No, No, No................. Cat's metabolisms are not like dogs. If a cat goes too long without eating anything (4-5 days) their liver can start shutting down. Believe me some cats are stubborn enough to do that if they don't get their favorite food. (Dogs in the wild share prey animals with the pack - may go quite a while without eating, then get a big big meal.) So, like it or not, as a cat owner you do need to find a food they enjoy and eat consistently. I've found that the smellier the food is, the better mine seem to like it. If you want to treat your cats like dogs, you really would be better letting someone else take care of them. -- maryjane whose cat almost died of liver failure |

I never meant to suggest this as a way to get her cats to eat that cheap disgusting food she wants to pawn off on them, but of course you, and she, both know that. |

This sounds suspiciously like a "regular" here who likes to think he's in "control." -- Right!! Lawrence somebody? Or Larry? I know exactly who you mean. What a loser. Whether or not this is him/her, it's a major loser nonetheless. (I am gender confused because what man wears a "housecoat?" And what woman except our grandmas who are over 80? |

It's more of, "I will bend my cats to my all-powerful will." Oh, so impressive. And then the cats wait until asshole is out and pee all over is stuff. Poop in his shoes. Heh. That's one of the things I love about cats. Successful guerilla warfare. |

As I said to another (although I was more snide with them, maybe shouldn't been), I don't mind endulging them a little "treat" every now & then, especially with Family Dollar selling one brand (don't recall what it was, but the cats liked it) for only 25c a can. I just don't want them turning their nose up at what they were OK with before. If you can afford better than food from Family Dollar, it would be in the cats' best interest, and yours. A cat fed a better quality food will be healthier, which equals less vet visits, which equals more money in your pocket ultimately. Secondly, cats are obligate carnivores, and if you think about it, dry food is not appropriate for them. Better for them and their health (and utlimately your pocketbook) to feed them a canned diet. |
