    How to know why a cat doesn't like the food given?

    When I put out some canned cat food, she will eat some then walk off. Sometimes she eats the rest later. Sometimes she never touches it any more, ever, even many hours later when I'm sure she's hungry.  Even with food she likes, she typically eats some, walks off and eats more later. But never...

    Cans of Just Gravy?

    This is related to my previous question about keeping canned cat food moist.  But this time, I wonder about going all the way.    My cat Kitty often licks all the liquid off the clump of canned food I put out, maybe nibbles a bit off the clump, and then usually ignores the leftover.    If I buy...

    Keeping uneaten canned food from drying out

    My cat prefers canned food, the moister the better.  Friskies Pate is usually acceptable, and usually anything Fancy Feast.  I've been trying other brands, but that's for another question.   I put out maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of a 5.5oz can in the morning.  Quite often she eats only some of the food...

    Ultra-old cats - what is known about their longevity?

    My tuxedo cat, Kitty, is somewhere in the range 24 to 26 years old.   She still plays with yarn, and seems to be in fine health, though had been through a flea war last fall.    A much younger cat, about 10 or 11, didn't make it through that invasion. She was found in Montana, declawed, maybe a...

    My Flea War

    My Flea War Hitler, Mussolini, and Pol Pot had good ideas - when applied to fleas!   Undesired Immigrants Last fall, after only two months in my apartment in Gresham, Oregon, fleas had invaded.  Carbon, Lacey, and Kitty were staying with me at the time.  All were scratching, scratching and...

    The Bicycle Inspector has arrived.   Unfortunately, due to my shoddy bike maintenance, I was fined one can of tuna. What has your cat inspected lately?
