And just for a change this morning ...
It would be SO difficult to leave a scenario like this!
So there's no chance of "cold shoulder" there!Nightly update time

This was Phoebe this morning

Daisy was such a good girl today. She had her annual checkup and vaccinations and didn't say a word when I put her in her cage and drove her to the vet, unlike most other visits where she's howled all the way. She's gained weight despite her diet, so the vet suggested trying zucchini. I bought one and steamed it and will try it tomorrow ... I can see it being totally rejected.
I could, but Daisy is on dry food. She’s not interested in wet food - if I give her some she doesn’t even eat one sachet in a day.So there's no chance of "cold shoulder" there!
You can mash the zuke and mix it in with wet food, yes?
Wow. And cat behaviorists, vets and "experts" agree that wet food is much, much preferable to dry in terms of moisture content and nutrients.I could, but Daisy is on dry food. She’s not interested in wet food - if I give her some she doesn’t even eat one sachet in a day.
I know, I'd love to get her on wet food. But even if she'd eat enough, I'd have to stand guard while she ate, or Phoebe would pinch it, and she has to stick to her presciption food.Wow.

I did. I suspect Phoebe (the cat who'll sample apples and bananas given the chance) ate it all today. When I came home and tried a little, Daisy refused point blank to have anything to do with it.That is a tough one. I only feed wet food, so a little easier to sneak something in that. Can you make the zucchini really soft and mix it with dry? Do you think she would bulk at that?
Well, I don't think it'd make the journey too well from Victoria to la-la land, but... (Yes, we have no zucchini emoticons)(But I also love cucumbers, unlike a lot of cats, who are terrified of them for some unknown reason)Ain't that the truth! I don't even have feasible different room arrangements, there's only the bedroom and lounge, and I can imagine the fuss if I closed the door.
I tried mixing some zucchini in wet food this morning. She managed to pick all around it.
Anyone want to buy a zucchini, only slightly used?
It's because cucumbers resemble snakes, isn't it? At least that's the only suggestion I've seen.Well, I don't think it'd make the journey too well from Victoria to la-la land, but...

I've seen that one, too. IDK what those suggesters are on, but cucumbers do NOT resemble snakes.It's because cucumbers resemble snakes, isn't it? At least that's the only suggestion I've seen.
