I thought I'd seen it all but of course, I am wrong.

Stella and Delilah have voiced their opinion that they don't like left
overs
so instead of getting the large tins of food, they get the mini ones now.
They can split one per meal. Ok fine.

Since watching a show on cats this past week on A&E, I was a bit worried
about their tuna based diet. Their preference is tuna but may go with the
odd salmon offering of cat food. After hearing about the FUS rish because
of
ash, I tried them on a few meat based foods and they won't eat it! What
can
I do??

thanks in advance!

do they eat dry food? if they do eat dry food, but want wet food, i
think they will start eating new meat foods once they realize that the
fish is not coming back. probably within a day. at least Shaina does
that when i give her a different brand.

-L

They eat dry food at night. When we go to bed, they each get their dish full
and they nibble at will during the night and a bit during the day until it's
gone.
For Delilah's birthday, I bought a can of cat food that had duck in it...
thinking it was a treat. She turned her nose up at it and stalked off. I'll
keep trying !

thanks!

Is it real tuna or just tuna flavored food?


It's all real. That's one thing we made sure of when we got the cats... we
investigated the foods to make sure the first ingredient was real meat,
fish... whatever. The next seems to be the broth.


But I mean, you aren't just feeding them straight tuna or salmon all the
time. It's a cat food. Still, it's a real good idea to get them on things
that fly or run rather than swim. that can be a treat.

Tuna *flavored* cat food, or actual canned tuna?

Tuna flavoured cat food. There is real fish in it and they don't eat people
food.
