Wet food for kitties

[Eden]

Too many cars, too many raccoons, and too many kitty eating coyotes around here.....(and way too many lost cat posters) mine are strictly indoor.

Yep, lots of wide open country spaces around here, but regardless...our kitties would likely get a few weeks' worth of healthy country 'fresh air' followed by either getting killed by a loose dog or hit by a car. Lots of our neighbors let their cats out, but they never last more than a year or so before getting killed one way or another.

So last night I was doing a chicken & asparagus stir-fry for dinner and Bonnie was in her usual spot on the kitchen counter (the part she's allowed on left of the stove, food prep is on the right) complaining about all that is wrong with the world. So I thought I'd see what she'd do with a piece of raw chicken breast. She sniffed it, and proceed to eat her kibble, went back to the chicken, and ate more kibble. What can I say? A 16 yr old cat is set in her ways.


And I just crack up every time I see the photo of the kitten face planted into the plate of kibble!

That's exactly where my cat sits, to the left of the stove, beside the Casper cookie jar.

Mine goes mad if I don't let him out, he gets really bad cabin fever and actually turns quite agressive, including attacking my legs, etc. If he's had his time outside he's the sweetest cat in the world!

Cassie and Tucker don't get on the counter. When we first got them we had to give them eye drops. We did it on the counter as it was the right height. I think they see the counter as an evil place.

Cassie does use it to get to the top of the refrigerator. She's a little alien and she's trying to get closer to her people.

Cassie and Tucker are strictly indoor kitties. We have several regular feral cats that we have had neutered and we feed. I don't want them fraternizing too much. It does happen and for that reason Cassie and Tucker get all the shots.

We also have coyotes, raccoons, cars and people. My last indoor kitty lived to be 18. I hope these two make it at least that long.

Brilliant kitty training for keeping them off the counter! Wish had thought of that.

One of my kitties was trained early not to get on the counter, so he gets on the kitchen table instead. I don't blame him, because it is the gathering point of the house though we hardly ever eat there, and it's the only place to get away from the crazy dogs on the floor. This is the kitty who was an indoor cat at first, and then we moved here and installed the doggie door, and he started going out. Used to stay outside ALL the time, but now he stays IN all the time, and only goes out to do his business (I keep the litter box clean, but he likes it outside better).

I have an acre lot, all fenced, so I don't worry about other dogs. Of course, the cats can leave the yard, and one of them does, but that one seems very savvy about cars and such. He should be, since he stumbled into the yard half-starved, as an adult already.
