So, ION, I got some grain-free fatass catfood today. I am on a mission to unfat Loki.
He and Pumpkin were so excited, as always, when I went up this evening to pour out their allotment. I mixed half old/new. The Pumk was fairly game, though tenative. But the look of injury Loki gave me, OMG. He sniffed, looked confused, took a bit, dropped it on the floor. Batted it. Tried again. Looked at me so pleadingly and hurt, buffeted my ankles, crying.
DAMNIT, IT'S BLUE BUFFALO $$$ SHIT AND ALL FULL OF MEAT AND FOR FUCKING LYNXES OR SOME SHIT, YOU WILL EAT IT AND LIKE IT.
I think shit is about to get real.
I hate to say this, but neither of my cats would touch Blue Buffalo
Loki is sad and wants his carbs.
I like that I can be reassured by people here. I culled so much when I moved and donated all of that. The few things I brought down, I really need to get to their new happy homes. For cash. Well, PayPal.
I expect that to continue until....what, Superbowl? Is that the next game? Or is there another before it?
AFC championship game, then the Super Bowl.
Ha ha! Years ago, I got Homer some diet cat food, and he did lose weight, because he just didn't eat it. I figured he had so few pleasures in life, why take one away?
ION, is anyone watching the show that looks a lot like Revenge, but with a black woman doing the revenging for her childhood friend?
Our cats hated Blue Buffalo, too. You cannot force the kids to eat the healthy food.
Deception? I saw the pilot.
Interesting lineup of things I'm watching these days: Revenge, Scandal, Deception...
My other grain-free option from PetSmart/Co (I don't know which it is) is Wellness, I think. There might be another option.
But I'm really not on for another diabetic cat, and Loki is 16.5 lbs. And while he's long, that's just not good, especially with a 2lb gain in the last year
when he's been more active due to Pumpkin.
So we're throwing down. God help me if I have to lock them up to feed separately. There's NO WAY I can convince Devi to not be a grazer, and I've got to get weight back on her. The other two- well, they get 1 c in the eve, and that's it. Problem is, Loki eats most of it, and I think Pumpkin adapts by eating Devi food. Or something.
Man, I am mildly feverish, huh? I wandered into the bedroom to find the thermometer, like, two hours ago, and got all bleary eyed and forgot what I was doing and put on mascara instead. IDEK. But I can tell it's just low grade post flu shot fever, so I don't know why I need to take it. It's not like I can do anything about it.
I feed all my animals Wellness, mostly because I like the blueberry smell better than the vaguely fishy/carrion smell most dog/cat foods seem to have. They gobble it right up - well, they gobble up the teaspoon of canned food they each get every evening, but the dry food gets eaten sometime during the night, too. But I don't remember any of them ever turning their noses up at anything for long so I don't know if that means anything for cats that aren't my cats.
