Morning, and Missy Maggie is feeling great today. Well, I tried a food experiment this morning. I bought some Nature's Variety Chicken Formula with chicken, turkey & liver and no grain, and I also noticed Omega-3 fatty acids on list of ingredients. I placed some FF Seafood separately from the Nature's Variety on her dish, and she sucked the juices from the FF and a little of the juices from the Nature's Variety. It doesn't look too successful. I should have mixed them together, but I was hoping she would eat the good no grain chicken flavor, and not the FF! Other than a semi flop on fuds, Maggie is in excellent spirits, and we've had play time, two mini breffifs, brushing and now she's having nap time, and I'm having coffee. Some laundry today for me and then later I plan on a walk and meeting a friend for coffee/breakfast.

Good luck with the food experiment. Maggie knows what she likes huh. Wonder what it is about FF that cats like so much.
 
Re: 8/21 Maggie AMPS 177 ATrak

FF has a secret ingredient! :lol: :lol: What kind of food experiment is next? You could try the no-choices approach: find a food other than fish that Maggie likes and stick with it. You can still offer the FF fish flavors as a once-a-day treat. Rusty responds well to this, and once I discovered that he prefers Wellness Turkey to any of the other foods I tried, that is what he eats (and gobbles up).

Enjoy today,

Ella & Rusty

Hope Maggie comes around for the food change its hard sometimes to get them to eat a new food I know Do Lou is very picky he almost eats nothing but merricks in canned and a bit of wellness but he is starting to go on a wellness strike again he does that from time to time.. he does not like FF except the higher carb flavors like the medleys...

Kitties!! They rarely do what we want them to do... :lol: I love food experiments... One of my civies will do that: lick up the juice, leave the fuds - drives me nuts.... Mannie though? he eats anything. never miss a meal that one. Good luck with Maggie and the fuds...

Your day sound really nice so far - noting like the morning with a cup of ~O) . have fun with your friend today - that too sounds great!

+2 147

Thanks Angela, her numbers have been blues this week, anti-jynx! I normally wait until the +3 for a poke, but she seemed extra hungry, so I thought she may have dropped.

Hi Karrie, it is interesting with the FF. I don't know of any kitties that don't like FF, but I'm sure there are some out there! Darn when they changed the formula, some of the flavors raise Mag's bg!

Hi Ella, you're right, as once I do fine one she likes, I like to stick with it. Good idea in having the FF fish she loves as a treat. Nice that Rusty loves the turkey FF giblets as a treat.

Hi Lisa, yes, sometimes Maggie goes on strike with a certain brand. Ror a while she liked Wellness chicken, but then lately she snubs it! It's a cat for ya! :lol:

Hi Michelle, that is so neat that Mannie will eat anything. Yes, I always enjoy getting together with friends. We've had great weather lately, cloudy in the mornings and sunny in the afternoon and low 70's. Thanks for the good wishes with the fuds. I'm glad I only bought two cans of the chicken Nature's Variety. I think the food experiment is over for today according to Maggie. :smile:

Afternoon Ann!! SOrry the food experiment didn't work but I think it's a good idea to mix....start with more FF and less of the new food and then slowly change the proportion and see if that works. However...them cats are smart :lol: :lol:

Hope you enjoyed your walk and breffis with a friend. Have a great day there!
 
Re: 8/21 Maggie AMPS 177; +2 147; PMPS 160 ATrak

PMPS 16
A nice flat blues day!

Hi Marje, yes, I messed up there with trying the new fuds experiment on Maggie. What was I thinking? I usually mix the new one in with the old, but for some reason I was hoping she would go straight to the new one. Too smart and wants the FF Seafood.
 
Re: 8/21 Maggie AMPS 177; +2 147; PMPS 160 ATrak

Bummer on the food experiment, we experiment pretty much every other day, kitties are just too darn picky!!

Looks like Maggie had a nice flat day. Have a great evening Ann and Maggie!

Ann, I don't know why I didn't think to mix some of the FF with the EVO for Simon. Simon and Maggie are just not too adventurous with the new fuds. I always thought Simon would eat anything, but I am really wrong about that! I haven't tried the Nature's variety, but may give it a try. Good luck on finding something that Maggie likes instead of FF. I really think they must put something extra special in it!
 
Oh my gosh, wouldn't it be great if our picky eaters would eat anything and everything! I understand completely about the food experiments. I do believe we've tried a can of everything that PetSmart and PetCo have here in Flagstaff AZ and then some. I have a box or two of cans of "failed experiments". Lately I've taken to mixing medium carb FF with lower carb FF classics. Zener will eat a can of something like it's the best thing he's ever had, then later the same day, will look at that same food and me like I am trying to poison him!

Come on Maggie, help your bean out darlin'. Eat some of these delicious concoctions - your breaking your bean's heart Madame Picky! ;-)
