This is so true... and a great thought to end the year with!
Remember, cats are as individual as people. Everyone ends up futzing for a while until they find something that works for their cats.
Also, since @mzalisakay mentioned it... we're about to start on the tooth brushing adventure with our cats: they had lots of buildup on their teeth for cats of their age (under two) and have already had to have cleanings. Ouch. They're getting antibiotics for Bartonella, which can make tooth problems worse. We're hoping that works -- or at least helps -- but we're going to have to work tooth brushing in, too. I bought a CET kit at the vet's and they do love the seafood-flavor toothpaste, so I'm hoping that's a good start. Fingers crossed!
And fingers crossed to everyone on finding good ways to feed their cats as individuals. It's not always easy!
And, of course, happy new year! (She says with her glass of wine!
