Rigatoni is almost 2 and still has a lot of kitten ways.

Rigatoni is a great name for a cat.

my brother's cat went through a phase last year of refusing to eat anything but pate and shrimp.

I think I'm gonna try morphing into a cat now. Mmmmm.

It sounds like people are feeding their cats a wide variety of commercial cat foods, with adjustments based on the cats' age and health status. So I guess as long as I stay away from Storebrand's Best Chicken-skin Balls mixed with Shredded Packing Peanuts, I should be ok. Or, rather, the cat should be.

I would suggest staying away from Tender Vittles (assuming they still make those? moist kibble in a pouch?), as that's what we fed our cat when I was growing up and it rotted her teeth. Wasn't 'til she was seven or eight that we found out it's basically like candy for cats, and by then she wouldn't eat anything else.

Oh, dear. Thanks, Polgara. I remember feeding that to my cat growing up, but he also got the hard kibble, which probably helped clean his teeth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do have a friend whose cat lived to a ripe old age on the cheapest dry food available. He was big, but he was legitimately big boned, so who knows what he would have looked like living on birds and squirrels.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm pretty random with what I pick up for Georgia to eat. She does supplement her diet with whatever prey her evening prowls provide. The boys also spoil her with their empty cereal bowls to clean. She will shamelessly steal any unattended food.

I have no idea what to make for dinner. Suggestions?

Potential. I do have lean ground beef, tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and salsa.

You were destined to make tacos tonight.
