Wet food for kitties

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I suspected that our older kitty (now 20) was having trouble crunching the dry kibble with her older teeth and jaws...hence she was always way too thin even though she had unlimited dry kibble. Another good reason for us to have switched to wet/canned food.

After a stressful day at work, I was so happy to find this thread. What a mood lifter to read all of these stories about our kitties! I've always had cats and dogs, but it's something about those crazy cats, that lights up my life. Nick, who passed away last summer at 19, is in kitty heaven and George--all white, pink nose, a green eyes--loves asparagus peels, haricots verts (not regular green beans) and edamame pods! Even though I feed him a combination of dry and wet, he likes to supplement with fresh meat (moles and chipmunks). Horrifying! He also loves to curl up on the doggie bed with Zoe the schnauzer. That's him on the avatar eyeing a wayward tree frog.

Your white kitty reminds me of our formerly kibble loving kitty, Athena. She is all white, except her tail, which is gray and black tiger-striped.



The skinny kitty, Isis, is pictured here on the left with my precious boy Boo-Boo who we lost last August at the age of 19. He'll always be my baby boy. And Isis will always be a runt.

Norse, your kitties are beautiful! What an unusual tail on Athena-she does look a little like my George. I'll have to upload some better pictures.

Last evening, as I was preparing dinner, I heard the most horrible cat noises coming from outside. I went out onto the driveway and there is George, facing down Cutie Pie (big orange tabby from next door), both yowling as loud as possible, but both unwilling to turn tail and run. It may not have been the smartest thing to do, but I intervened anyway. Sent Cutie Pie packing. Cutie Pie outweighs George by a few hefty pounds, so I'm sure eventually George would have gotten the worse end of the deal. Both neutered males too! I guess those territorial instincts are too strong.

We used to have issues with the not drinking enough problem too. I bought a drinkwell platinum for the kitties and now one for the doggies at around $30. My electric bill hasn't gone up, but the water bill has gone down. Also I have a lot more time because I can move away from the sink without being attacked by the cat to turn it on!
