Just commenting that when I said what's the issue with bones, I meant it just seems that everyone is having trouble with bones, not that I don't understand that they need them.
Sally, I think it can take a bit of time for their bodies to adjust in digesting them.... this is what it seems to me.... Bugsy and Hope are doing just fine..... I will keep Bugsy's diet mostly bone free because of his IBD - it has been observed that a 100% bone in meal can be hard to digest for these kitties, and there is a risk of leading to pancreatitis. So..... keeping safe for him. Lucky.... for some very odd reason can't digest them now.... That is not to say that she will be in the future.......Just commenting that when I said what's the issue with bones, I meant it just seems that everyone is having trouble with bones, not that I don't understand that they need them.
I AM making HUGE progress and wait until you all hear about my morningLauren - you are making progress.... seems that from 4 PIA's you are going down to 3.... or maybe 2.... now that Pips is eating NV from your hand
Weird that Perkins had diarrhea..... is it diarrhea diarrhea, or just soft poop?
He shouldn't have it..... Especially since he has been eating chicken before.... hasn't he? Or he never ate a full meal of raw chicken?
Hope he gets better soon...... and I LOVE IT that he loves the chicken!!!
Yep - we all are or were having some issues with the sharp, larger sized bones in some of the commercially made diets. I am just picking out the bones and cartilage now.Just commenting that when I said what's the issue with bones, I meant it just seems that everyone is having trouble with bones, not that I don't understand that they need them.
oooooh... great idea!BTW - for Perla, what you can consider doing (and it will be cheaper) is boiling her some of the fresh chicken. See if she'll eat that instead of rehydrated WL chicken (which is cooked anyway). IF she eats it, then you can SLOWLY cook it less and less! SNEAK her chicken into being... raw!
Oooooooooooo - You are my "sneaky" assistant in this process!!!! GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!! Will try that. Yep - I want her coming around asking for the "treats" too. The problem is the five very pushy boys. Whenever she is about to take a lick or a bite, someone tries to push their way in and I have to push them away - which sometimes startles Perla and then she runs off :dash: SO annoying. AND if I bring her into the bathroom, then she thinks it IS a trick - even though it IS . But she just knows. If she just casually comes into the kitchen asking on her own - then I have a better chance with her. I just can't run around shooing the other five away while the rincess: is trying to taste something new. Just an ongoing dilemma :scratch:.... Will try the boiled chickenLauren - that's BRILLIANT! Yes - SNEAKY MOMMA!

OH I like you Sally - thanks for the laugh!!!!!!! The cat's are all liking small pieces of fresh raw organic chicken now. :bigthumb:Yay! Laurie's plan of cooking the chicken for Perla may just pan out (no pun intended...get it? Pan out? :lol3: :lol3: :lol3: )
:wife: HEE HEE HEE HEEAw, I love it when you laugh! :bigthumb:
AW Presley sends his love :rub: :kisskiss: :rub: Momma will keep tryin' with the "Donut" Tried to offer him some fresh cut up chicken - NOPE He doesn't even like Whole Life :jaw: but he loves Fortiflora :slant:Yep, there always has to be that ONE. :lol3:
But on the Pipster! :bigthumb: Ming Loy hopes Presley will come around sooner rather than later and realize that he's a carnivore! She'll even share some of her turkey.
:spit: OMG - crocodile :lol3: IF it comes to that - I QUIT :dash:Wow Lauren, your crew is really making progress now
Yep, yep, there is always "the one" and "the rincess: it seems..... here in my house it turns out to be the same kitty, coincidentally :lol3:
Hopefully one day this will be all behind us..... our introductions will be some weird exotic meats - "hey Lauren, have you tried crocodile meat yet? :lol3:"
