Re: Intuitive training my kitty

[Guest guest]

Darling story and one really can learn from our pets! Our male dog

won't eat some mornings while the female will eat ANY time! (sounds

right doesn't it girls?!? lol!) The male will eat his 'dinner' though,

its usually meat while the morning is dry kibble which we had been

adding chicken gravy to (spoiled don't ya think?). Anyway we don't

force him to eat in the mornings, but we can't just leave his (dry)

food available to him because the female will eat it too. Interesting

to observe and learn from.

Hope your kitty fills out and settles in well soon.

Thanks for taking care of our four legged creatures - touches my

heart. We can all learn from one another.

Thanks,

Hi,

My two cats, now adorable and loving adults, are rescued feral cats.

They make the best companions, as they know they were rescued.

One of them is skinny, and the other, who was very sick and skinny,

only one pound when I rescued him, is now 21 pounds and very healthy.

He does overeat and I have notice that he does that when the bowl of

food is left empty for a couple hours. The other one, the slim one,

never did that. I think my fat cat was the last kitty to be born, and

was too weak to fight his place to nurse.

It is a very touching story, keep up the good work!

Take care

Nat
