My sister is the only person to give the cats wet food, because we know, from having had lots of cats over our liftimes, that they lie about having been fed.

So, this morning, every time I go downstairs, the boy cat keeps tryign to convince me that he is starving. Granted the (wet) food dishes have been cleaned out completely, but they have dry food and the water is also full.

Still, he is an awfully convincing liar. If we hadn't worked oitu a system, I'd probably have fallen for his spiel.

It is really hard to not develop a blimp.

That is funny. However, my new cat, Zippy, doesn't ever touch wet food. He will only eat dry stuff.

OldGoat43 Level 9 Nov 23, 2018

What brand of dry food do you give Zippy?

@snytiger6 . Zippy is about one year old now. I have opened cans of everything out there. He won't even come close to my food on the table. I've even tried sardines and herring to no avail. He's strictly dry.

@OldGoat43 But what brand of dry food? I think many here might want ot know what brand of dry food a cat might think is good enough to ignore wet food.

The last batch of my sister's cats (she had 3, all died within a few months aroudn age 16 for all of them) were dry food only, but one of them got sick and once one got wet food, they all had to have it. She got a new cat before the old ladies all died, and so the new cat got wet food too. Afer the last two old cats died she got a second cat, and of course he got wet food too.

@snytiger6 . I am concerned about the dry food being healthy enough for my fur babies. I chose a Purena bag of Indoor Fur Ball with Real Chicken. Zippy likes it but I really don't trust the big companies for their health claims. I'm going to keep looking for something that is healthy by won't cost every cent of mine to feed my cat.

@OldGoat43 My sister got a couplon for a small bag of Iams once, an the cats loved it. She cant' afford Iams at the prices they charge though.

I have an old girl (almost 21) who thinks she needs to be fed EVERY SINGLE TIME she hears me walk into the kitchen. There is no way I'm gonna win this one - so I feed her a big spoonful of her wet stuff every time. That makes her happy and keeps me sane (mostly)..... At her age - fuggeddabout any kind of dry food. She stopped eating that about a year ago.

If it wasn't for the age of the cat who probably can't handle the dry food anymore, this would be a great set up for a joke about your being "pussy whipped".

I hop[e she still has a few more yers to go.

@snytiger6 I believe you are correct! 😉 and thanks, I hope she has a few more good years left in her..

My brother and SIL's cat (Their "We're going to have children - let's try a cat first - cat" ) Willow - he once got my Mom to feed him - then I fed him - then my Brother fed him - when I saw my SIL going for the food dispenser with the cup and we were all in the kitchen at the same moment? We figured out how many of us had all fed the poor starving boy!

He was awesome at saying he hadn't been fed all night. "No me? I'm STARVING!".

Here I free feed my three. And they get wet food in the morning. The dishes stay down until my roommate also sees them - so that she isn't convinced they WEREN'T fed. Because we know THEM!

This system works no matter who gets up first. Then the dishes go thru the wash and back up on the counter (With the canned food) for the next day.

You might want to add a step to the system? lol

Our system is that there is only one person designated to give them wet food. If that person is away then the job is assigned to just one other person. So far, even though they definitely try, the cats hven't broken the system yet.

@snytiger6 We were all new to pet parenthood at that moment. It was pretty darn funny - and he was pretty darn overfed that morning.

"But I'm a growing boy and it's been at least a half hour!"

Hathacat Level 9 Nov 23, 2018

No, he was trying to tell me he hadn't eaten since yesterday morning. You can tell by the level of "pathetic" tone he puts into his meow.

@snytiger6 Laying on the guilt, then...Getting to the expert level!

@Hathacat Yeah, if he came and snuggled with me,insted of just my sister, the whole guilt thing might work better. He does have me well trained as his personal door man though. When he wants in or out, he gets me to open the door.

Posted by LaurenI thought this was an accurate representation of how we feel every time we remember our last cat, which happens often when my daughter and I laugh over our current cat's antics.
