The kitty boys get pretty darn excited when they think it’s time for kitty food. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is just feed the little rascals early. (Their little tummies will regret it later, though there always is dry food available.)
Andy eats first many days, and Dougy waits. Of course, when Dougy eats dry food too close to chicken pâté time, he isn’t that hungry. Other days, they eat together.
Andy has to clean up after eating, but Dougy waits till he is hungry to check out the chicken pâté.
Mr. Doug, do Andy & Dougy have any food allergies? Mom suspects I might be allergic to chicken. It is in almost all foods for us kitties on the market, which she says is frustrating. What do Andy & Dougy think of their haircuts? Mew Mew!
The kitty boys are more active and seem pleased not having to spend so much time spit shining all that kitty hair. It leaves more time for sleeping. playing, and eating!
Andy is allergic to some seafood, and chicken’s about all he can eat without the inside of his ears turning red. Dougy can eat anything.
Dougie sounds a little like my cat. She has to be ready and in the mood to eat.
It always surprises me when a cat isn’t in the mood to eat. Having grown up with dogs, with their tendency to eat a can of food in three or fewer gulps (!), cats seem really delicate by comparison.
yes they do. I grew up with dogs too.
I think people and dogs have been together enough longer than people and cats that dogs “get” people better than cats and people “get” dogs better than cats, too. Though cats are fascinating creatures to have around, they are more inexplicable than dogs.
You may be right
I’m glad I’ve had both in my life, regardless, and I’m sure most people who’ve experienced both animal companions will say they love both for different reasons.
Yes I think that’s true. I love both dogs and cats and grew up with both
Me, too! Monkeys are pretty much the only animals I don’t like.
Why? I hate snakes
They have nasty dispositions and I was n=bitten by rhesus monkeys twice when I was a toddler…!
Not good. I almost stepped on a snake once but always hated them.
do you ever feed them fresh raw tuna or chicken?
No. The tuna is problematic for the middle of the USA, and I think they would probably lick the chicken but not try to chew it. They won’t (can’t) eat the chunk tuna, but love the water off of the canned fish.
Persians have difficulties with some foods because of the way breeders have bred them to have increasingly smooshed faces. Though neither kitty has shown insurmountable problems related to these breeder’s preferences, I have noticed they do have some problems.
Personally, though I love them to death, I would never have Persians again (these two were given to me) because I don’t approve of how breeders alter physical properties of cats and dogs for the amusement of people and to the detriment of the breed.
For example, French bulldogs can’t breed because of the changes in their physiology, and all French bulldogs are the product of artificial insemination. Persian kitties oftentimes are too big (their heads) for normal birth and have to be delivered by Caesarian section. Persians, too, often have breathing problems because of the smooshed faces.
thank you for the explanation.I was aware of the troubles with Bulldogs,but not Persians.I’m sure they love you just the same however.
They are very sweet kitties, and I aim to provide them the happiest home possible as long as I have them!
I think pets like wet food more than dry food. (My cat and dog likes me to mix tuna in their dry food).
Same here when it comes to wet food. Oddly enough, the kitty boys like the liquid off the albacore, but don’t eat the meat.
No wonder why their mouths are wet! XD
They don’t “talk” a lot as cats go, but the prospect of getting fed makes them very talkative!
Energy/food makes them talk?
Meow!
Gotta keep them kitties happy 🙂
Yeah! They know where I sleep!
I am laughfing ! Too nice and knowing what they want and … who you are with them !) 🙂
I’m afraid so!
We have the same situation here. But with three of the gang on special diets I have to limit the dry food left out in the puzzle feeder. A week ago or so we had a couple of colder nights and we all woke early and hungry so flexibility is the watchword.
I can’t imagine what it’s like having cats on different diets. That must be a bit of ballet at feeding time.
With 9 cats, I gave up and had to work at finding a recipe all could eat, and thrive.
I can imagine how nearly impossible that could be!
I notice several plates piled . This is like in the ceremony meal , there are different plates , for each food ( entrées , red meat, white meat, veggies, cheeses , pastries ) . This needs at least four plates and three glasses ( the wines changes too ).
😉

That’s just my sloppy housekeeping! When all plates are dirty, then I wash them. I don’t dirty enough dishes a day to have enough to wash. The kitty boys probably wish there was more to it than chicken pâté day in and out, but that’s what I have to feed them. (Andy’s allergic to several foods).
Good morning from the other side of the ocean, my friend! Having breakfast myself with a good strong and hot espresso! 🙂
Sounds good! I haven’t fixed coffee yet. Good morning to you, too!
So they are divas about their food as well !
I did a super job of spoiling them early and regularly. They are the monsters I created!
They did have a very tough start to life though. I can see how it all came about.
Ha! Ha! Thanks for giving me a good excuse for how rotten they are!
