Meep resolutely refuses to eat ANY kind of meat that doesnt' come out of a cat food can - cooked, raw, chicken, beef, even kangaroo, she refuses it all. Except seafood (loves shrimp, salmon and tuna). Phooey. jmc well in the real world unless one lives in antartica there are butcher and fish monger shops, deli's etc as most of the world are meat eaters. The secret is to mix a bit of the tinned poison with fresh meat slowly changing the balance. You don't think I've tried that. My cat is a dedicated and very very stubborn carbivore. We've been fighting this battle for over 5 years now. I've tried every trick I've gleaned from here, from the internet, and from vets in three different countries. She simply won't eat anything that 1) doesn't have carbs and/or 2) came directly from a 4-legged critter. Well, except for parmesan cheese jmc |
