Good Morning, LL!
Yesterday
STILL food dancing. I have yet to find a flavor he will eat more than once, but I can sort of get him to go back to Mixed Grill flavors of FF or Sophisticat. I just weighed him and he's at 14lbs. Is it normal for a cat to lose weight after a diet transition? Since he was on HC dry food until 7/26, so he's been on a wet diet for almost exactly a month. Is 1lb too much to lose in a month?
I am just concerned he is not getting his calories. If anyone has any other suggestions for foods that I haven't tried yet (I'm still having a hard time finding afforadable EVO or Natura near me) -- I've been logging it in the SS.
He has been eating a little more these last few days, but I've been following him around with the food dish and holding it up to him to eat. So now I have to get up for work earlier because I need to stand in the kitchen and hold his food for him, otherwise he's too picky about eating it on his own. ohmygod_smile I put out 5.5oz of food yesterday, and he ate perhaps 4.4oz. I have tried every combo of warming it up + adding water (sometimes warming it w/o H20, sometimes only putting warm H20 and no heating, not warming it up...) he isn't satisfied with any of them.
Otherwise his energy and mood is great -- if I wasn't counting the oz of food he ate every day, I wouldn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior.
Have a good day everyone!

I've been letting him roam the apt. at night for the last week or so, without incident! (We use to keep him in the kitchen at night because otherwise we'd wake up and SOMETHING would be soaked in pee..) Don't want to get my hopes up, but I know he sleeps better at night on the couch than the kitchen floor. He hasn't done it since he's been OTJ! Usually if we let him roam, the 2nd or 3rd night he ends up peeing somewhere. Not this time!
