Hi,
I am new to this site. Although my handle is Lakeriedog, I am a long time cat lover and currently have five felines in the family. I've made a home for one or more cats for most of my adult life, only one dog (who spent thirteen years with us).
Trixie, is fifteen years old and the matriarch. Then there is fourteen year old Sonny, who my husband rescued from the Sewer District (where he works) on the day of the Loma Prieta Earthquake...he was about four weeks old and near death at the time. The vet actually offered to put him down when he first laid eyes on him. Sonny required quite a bit of care during his first few weeks, but recovered quite nicely (he is my baby). Argyle and Sister are one year old siblings who we adopted from our irresponsible neighbors across the street. Their mother's humans allowed her to have a litter, and then put them out in the street to fend for themselves. Their mommy taught them to eat from our indoor/outdoor dishes. She still visits for dinner. Then last but not least, Tiny No-No Baby the Spastic Princess, she is four months old and is another rescue from the Sewer District. Hubby found her hiding in an old discarded tire, three months ago. She is a solid black, holy terror, hell on wheels. I thought that I knew just about everything that I needed to know about cats and kittens until I met her!
Thats why I am here, I need info on finicky eating habits. She transitioned from the KMR to a Science Diet prescription wet food that was very soft, we had a heck of a time getting her to switch to regular kitten food, she barely touches the dry kitten food, and rejects 80% of the wet kitten foods we offer her. Any suggestions?
