Late Night Dinner
Ok..... A few things going on here - Definitely Rad Cat Chicken is out of the window for Hope and Bugsy - NOT their favorite - in fact, they downright refused it. So I decided to give them chicken pieces, supplemented with Calcium..... and here we are, looking at a little change of plans too :doh3:
The calcium does spread really well - it coats the meat lightly, like you are painting it with watercolor - that's the best description I can give.... Problem is, they were not very excited about it :slant: They ate some - about 1/2.... Not sure if they were full, since they had eaten some of the ground, or if they didn't like it - the second is more likely. I washed it off and Bugsy ate the rest. Hope didn't she only ate about 1oz of it.
So I think the better plan is to balance their meals once a day - adding the calcium to the ground meal, in the morning. So, instead of adding 1/8tsp to each meal, I would add 1/4tsp to the morning meals every day - I think that would be easier to disguise it.
They would get their probiotics and calcium in the morning :nod: I hope that works! I will try to add a little tomorrow and see what happens :nod:
The first week they will get no calcium as I will be testing the meats/schedule to get an idea of how much they will be eating on their meals :nod:
I offered Lucky the raw first today, and she took a couple of tiny, tiny licks - then she looked at my face as to say "mom, I am ready for my kibbles, please" She had a great meal, and is finally starting to leave some kibbles behind - this gives me some hope - her absolute passion for it is fading away..... Thank goodness..... she is getting there.
Oh, and Laurie, here is for us tomorrow:
