Hi again-
I just had lunch with my friend and gave her a bunch of info to help her with her cat grooming problems, including a printout of these posts. She is quite interested in doing some behavior shaping using food rewards. However, she says that Zhivago is an extremely finicky eater, and she has thrown away countless bags of treats because he simply won't even look at them. Part of the problem is that he is missing part of his jaw, although to everyone's surprise he will only eat dry kibble and occasionally a bit of wet.
Are there some other ideas for treats to use as food rewards other than the usual commercial ones? Something that no cat can resist?
Thanks,
Russ
