Food Concerns...
For the past couple of days, all four of our kitties, Mosey, Pookie, Sqweex
and Pipps, haven't been wanting to eat their 'gooshy fudz' aka canned/tinned. I have no clue what's up with that...they get Friskies canned Tender Morsels Beef in the morning and chicken at bedtime, with Friskies Indoor Kibbles left in 2 bowls all the time. And sometimes, they get Friskies pate/ground canned as well. I have no idea why they aren't eating...Mosey hurks when he eats the dry kibble, but the others are okay with it. Everybody's coats are shiny, their breath is good, they smell good, they use the 'doodleboxes' okay, I'm at a loss. They have 3 bowls of water, and are drinking it okay... We do give them human treats at times, but it isn't a major part of their diets. Mosey is the thinner one of the clowder, and the oldest, he'll be 8 this year. They all love their catnip and play okay and love to be cuddled and petted, and are as talkative as they usually are, acting 'normal'... Hmmmmm, or as Mosey would say..Mrrrrrrrt... Any thoughts? The TED isn't worried... Love Kyla

since ted isn't worried i would just watch and journal who eats what and
drinks what and uses the box, who, what time... don't get ocd over it but you will see a pattern and from the pattern you will be able to see if there is an issue, when we did this we realized for example every cat has a favorite box, favorite fountain and food bowl, i can say even if it doesn't help your current question you will find it interesting.

Food Concerns....
It would be almost impossible to keep a journal of that...
Pookie will get the zoomies up and down the hall and check the water in the bowls, usually around 2 am. Wierd cat. I think there might be an issue or something, because I have been feeling out of sorts lately myself, so maybe the kitties are picking up on it? Thanks for the info. I did find it interesting. I do keep a journal of my meds and show it to my TED, since ted isn't worried i would just watch and journal who eats what and drinks what and uses the box, who, what time... don't get ocd over it but you will see a pattern and from the pattern you will be able to see if there is an issue, when we did this we realized for example every cat has a favorite box, favorite fountain and food bowl, i can say even if it doesn't help your current question you will find it interesting.

I have heard the pet food manufacturers often change their recipes, dependent on availability of the raw ingredients. Cats are notorious for being intolerant of any change in their routine, home, and food. It may very well be that if the food is a little different, it may smell a little 'off' to them. I would cut down on the gooshy food feedings for a few days, and I'll bet they will miss their canned food, and will start eating it again. It is always very worrisome when our cats change their 'normal' behavior. Especially if they stop eating normally, which can be a major indicator of some well hidden illness. Sending purrs that it's just a '******* cat trick'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie. Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.

It is called "low cost formula" or something like that....the "recipe" varies from time to time depending on which ingredients are available for the least cost to the manufacturer. Sherry
