Hi, I'm new to this notes conference but I have been reading
it for about three months now.I really like the way everybody talks
about their(and other)cats! I was wondering if you could help me with
my kitty problem?! Shadow (between 2-3 years old) has always eaten
dry food , but always had her treats such as tender vittles,and was
always quite happy, until, Babie-- she's our new kitty (6mths).
We feed Babie her kitty food, which is canned food, and Shadow has
taken a liking to it, and now she won't eat her dry food and meows
(howls) for canned food -- whenever I walk into the kitchen no less!
She get's along great with Babie, actually mothering her and teaching
her everything she knows,but she's also getting fat and demands food
every time I walk by her or pass by the kitchen! What can I do to get
her out of this habit?

I hope noone thinks this is cruel, but I just ignore them. They get
the hint very easily.

I feed mine wet food, they like it best. I clear up when they've done, and put down dried food for the day. When they know the food will be removed before I go to work, they don't tend to pick at it so much. They do meow at me when we're eating chiken and any other meat, I tap them on the head between the ears with one finger, and say NO. They then sit patiently 'till we've done, hoping there will be a bit left over to put in their bowls! | |||||
