Werdy Wensday


You cant see the bowl, but I decided to eat in the Captains Chair.  I like to eat in different places.  Sometimes it it there, sometimes the bathroom windersill, sometimes the dresser, sometimes the top of the shoe rack.  I've even eaten in the hamper.  He follows me around with the food bowl until I decide where I want to eat.  Princesses get that kind of attention...

We get 7 differnt flavors of Stinky Goodness plus crunchies.  Variety is the spice of life.

Speaking of flavors,  when it was Skeeter, LC and Me and later Iza, it was all birdy flavors like chicken and turkey and duck, but some venison and tuna.  Now, with Marley and Laz and me, it is almost all fishy flavors.  Salmon, tuna, tuna with shrimp, tuna with tilapia, tuna with chicken.  The crunchies are chicken.

He worries about all that tuna.  So he gets "sneaky" (If you think we cats are sneaky, you should meet TBT).  Just as he goes to bed and first thing in the morning, he gives us the chicken and the turkey.  We eat it overnight and in the morning because we are hungry...  We often ignore them t first, but later it is all gone.

Laz had the hardest time adjusting to that.  He was raised on crunchies.  Stinky Goodness was hard enough.  Now he has to eat flavors he doesnt like so well.  In fact he went from 9.8 lbs to 8.8 lbs his first 6 months here.  But he is back up to 9.2 and gaining the past 2 months.

TBT is relentless sometimes.  He says that when we are just around together outside or in, on laps, sleeping together in bed, he is "TBT".  But when it comes to vet visits or food, he is "Dad" and "Dad" cares about our health and a "balanced diet".

  1. Humans are so particular about what us kitties eat! I would eat treats all day if given the option. (Okay, so would my human, probably!)

  4. Dearest Megan: Well, I deserve it! I'm eldest, I'm his Princess, I demand Special Attention, and I'm the only purebreed in the house. That matters. Besides, Laz is sometimes mean to me just because I hiss at him when he gets too close!

  11. Our Dad is like that too. He thinks if we get too used to one flavor and it stops then there is trouble. He knew someone that happened too the kitty would not eat. Our Angel Buddy Budd was a Kibble Head too. It took months to get him on stinky goodness from that and then he went from 22 to 17-18 pounds. He was fat and then he was just BIG. Yep, Dad are the best

  15. Maybe it's cause I'm a kitten but I will eat anything in front of me and even try to steal some of the food the ZH is eating ... a bug or two is even fine by me, no fuss, no muss.
    But I honestly cannot see eating "in the hamper" ... with dirty clothes? Really?
    Oh, and by the say, I can think of 101-names other than "Dad" when it comes to trips to the
    vet ...
