Ambers getting fussy
At first I thought she was sick. She wouldn't eat her Wellness chicken.
I offered some dry Innova which she did eat. I don't know if there was something wrong with the Wellness but Tiger is eating it (but he will eat anything). I will have to get some Friskies or Whiskas canned food to try and tempt Amber. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

It's the older cats I worry about most when they're off their food, because of their liver, they can end up so very sick. Bosley is "off" also; I have so far managed to tempt him with only "Fancy Feast Appetizer" stuff. But he had gone without no food at all for 24 hours. Right now it's just important that he *eat* anything at all. He's a big cat, and they're even more susceptible to hepatic lipidosis. Purrs that Amber's just being picky, and goes right back to eating her food. Sherry |

Does she eat different "flavors" of Wellness, or just the same one all the time? And to complicate things further :-) Cats are a lot like us in terms of our favorite foods. We'd know instantly if the formula had changed on something we eat every day. Cats are more super-sensitive than we are. There could be some change with that particular shipment of cat food. (I can tell when Coke has been stored in the heat too long) I don't think she's just messing with you. She's a grand old lady, and she's earned the right to be particular. :-) It really doesn't sound like she's ill, either; if she's eating plenty of her dry food. Sherry |

Ambers getting fussy-UPDATE
This morning Amber was back to normal. She ate her Wellness plus a
couple of pieces of bacon from my breakfast. I don't like her to eat too much dry food because she never drinks water and could get constipated. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Ambers getting fussy-UPDATE II
Amber has been with me over 15 years and I have never seen her drink
water - UNTIL TODAY. This morning, she got off of her window seat and headed right to the water dish and took a drink. I couldn't believe it. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

She was probably a little dehydrated from eating only dry food the day before. The 20 mile ride to the vet would stress her out a lot. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

I'm glad she's back eating her Wellness. Still no rhyme or reason why Bosley went off his food. There's been some major routine upset in this house and I believe now His Royal Orange-ness just doesn't handle stress well. Sherry |
