Just like when meowmie was working..
I bought Smudgie a box of those yesterday too. Will be interesting so
see what her and Boyfie think of it, she is quite a fussy eater. He loves it. I forgot to watch him eat the first one to see if he did indeed bite, chew, and lick it, but tonight he did lick the pate, and the rest, being in smaller pieces than the regular pouches, went down in a flash. I have renamed it "gobble and gulp" ;-) I can get it in Senior so I'll probably keep him on it while it's 3 quid a box of 12. Tweed Smudgie does not like it but then she is a fickle fusspot. The other cat I feed, Katie, does not like it either. I will give it to the shelter, the cats in there will like it I'm sure. "Gobble and gulp" Lol Sharon |

I just love the idea of your cat waiting for you by the gate when you
come home. Dogs do this (not so much in the US where we have leash laws), but it's not so common for a cat to do it. He's very loyal. -- Joyce Persia's an indoor cat but she always knew when I was coming home. When we lived in the apartment in Tennessee she'd wait on the window sill in the front bedroom for me to come home from work. She recognized the sound of the car and my parking spot was right by the front door. I'd see her sitting in the window waiting for me Now I have a house with a garage. I enter directly into the kitchen after I park. When she hears the electric garage door open she waits for me in the kitchen. Of course, there's always the chance I bought something for her while I was out! She gets first dibs inspecting what's in the shopping bags Jill I have an attached garage. Lindy (RB) used to be waiting for me just inside the door from the garage whenever I came home. Waffles and Pickles are usually on my bed when I leave, and still there when I come home. Joy When I worked regular hours and got home just after 3pm Smudgie would always be waiting in the hallway to greet me. She would go to bed just before I left in the morning and, I assume, stay there until just before I got home. Now my hours are less and more erratic she is usually still in bed when I get in. She will sometimes open one eye and acknowledge me but that is as far as it goes. Sharon |

Sharon Rusty (RB) never acknowledged me when I got home. Not even a twitch of his tail. or opened his eye. He just kept on sleeping. But if I put him in his room and closed the door before I left home, he would be pacing by the door of his room waiting for me to let him out. |

Today, the temperatures have risen to 7c from minus 6, and the snow is melting at last, so the boy ventured out for a while and was not back by the time I needed to do a little bit of food shopping. I was only gone for an hour but when he heard Mr F's engine he leapt my 5ft solid gate from the back garden and came to greet me as I got out of the car. This is what he used to do, he would always be waiting for me "on the front" as I call it, even when he had access in and out of the house during the summer, and I suspected he'd been reclining on his duvet, he would always jump the gate before I arrived and be waiting on the front. Aww, he's so cute. Yes, he is a darling. A little bit of gate-jumping won't hurt him after lounging around during the winter. He always gets a bit "fluffy" when he stays in a lot. He's pretty good for nearly 10, he has to do it from nearly a standing start from behind the house as the path turns sharply right so there's no run-up. I just love the idea of your cat waiting for you by the gate when you come home. Dogs do this (not so much in the US where we have leash laws), but it's not so common for a cat to do it. He's very loyal. Sometimes I worry that Boyfie loves me too much. He will not allow anyone else to touch him and goes to the back door to be let out if the doorbell rings. I'm the centre of his universe - I dread to think what his kitty mind was thinking while I was away for 8 weeks and he was home alone, only being visited daily to be fed. I did visit him three times during that period, the first and second time he was thrilled, the 3rd time I got the classic punishment from a ticked-off cat. He was on his duvet and ignored me. As I couldn't get upstairs with my "strictly no weightbearing" ankle, I sent Claire upstairs to see if he was there. He was. I called him to come down. Nope. He was seriously annoyed with me but when I did eventually come home he couldn't control himself, he meowed every time he looked at me and this went on for hours. |

"Gobble and gulp" Lol I have no problems as I said to Bonnie "You have a fine healthy appetite for a young animal- a young shire horse". She does have her fussy bits- she doesn't eat kitten food she made THAT perfectly clear within a day of her arrival and she's not massively keen on dry to the extent I now keep a small bag on hand as a very occasional treat for Sarsi but anything wet is fair game and devoured at a supersonic speed. Jim got some very expensive pate type food from "Tesco's" as a treat for Molly and she turned her nose up at it so he gave it to me saying "At least I know it won't go to waste with that kitten of yours"- it didn't Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

I feed a good quality food in various formats that should suit. I would not tolerate my brother's cat Tigger's fussy eating, he is young and healthy and there is no reason why there is only one box of Whiskas pouches that my s i l can buy and still he will only eat three of the four flavours in it. I'd put it in his bowl and if he didn't eat it in a hour or two, I'd take it up again with no alternative offered so next time he had a mealtime he'd be a bit hungry. Is this harsh? I don't think so, not with a young and healthy animal. If I have an old one with CRF I will go to the end of the earth to find something to tempt them, KFC would only eat roast chicken towards the end of her life. |

Towards the end of his life Rusty ate cat food made from duck , on the suggestion of his vet. The food did smell like duck. I told him I didn't get to eat duck every day while he did. |
