The AMPS is a fasting number, which is not always the case here in free-feeding-land.
Last night I came home with Kentucky Fried Chicken, and he fell upon it like a starving buzzard. Needless to say, I was elated! The 3 piece combo didn`t manage to fill us both up, so I shredded up some of the chicken I use to make his food (Dr Pierson's recipe with chicken, which he rejected recently and we switched to Friskies) and he ate all of it by morning. I assumed that we were going to return to the homemade food, based on his delight with the Kentucky Fried, and went to sleep happy and relieved!
This morning he was sitting up on the edge of the credenza -- animated, hungry and excited --watching the elaborate food preparations in the kitchen. He must have still had the taste of the KFC in his mouth though, as he couldn`t quite mask his disappointment when breakfast finally arrived. He really did try to like it cat_pet_icon and if I put some on a spoon and held it he would eat a little. And then he just spent a lot of time doing that thing with his tongue that babies do when they don`t like something... :roll: :lol:
An hour later he told me he was hungry again, so I got an idea and poured a little chicken flavored whiskas gravy on it - and he licked it off - managing to eat a little food in the process. I so was encouraged by this -- thinking I had found a brilliant solution to both needing his food to have a higher carb content and needing him to want to eat it (I think I may have actually done a little happy dance at this point, oh you silly bean!) -- that I proceeded to mix the whole packet of whiskas gravy into the food and presented it to him.
Of course, he barely sniffed it and then turned his head away. :lol:
I was so frustrated that I distracted myself by writing this post. angry(2)_cat
