Leftover crunchies
Mark Edwards
We freefeed crunchies. In the afternoon, I dump any leftover crunchies
into a plastic bowl, feed it to the ferals and refill the crunchie bowls.
Which crunchie bowl is the favorite? The leftovers. It is the go-to bowl
for all the indoor cats. They eventually eat from the fresh bowls, but they
prefer the leftovers.
It's as if they want to finish it off so I can't feed the ferals...
Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

Leftovers crunchies? We very seldom have those here, and when we do I
pour canned food gravy over the top of them. Some of my crew actually
prefer "juiced" crunchies over wet food.
Hope you are feeling better, Mark! I had a dr like your first one (my
reg. dr was on vacation at the time.) The substitute dr. told my ex-bf
that it was my fault that I was so sick, and if I would stop p*king up
my antibiotics I would get better. At that time I was running a temp of
105. Ex took me to the closest ER (20 miles in a wicked snow storm), and
the dr there diagnosed me has having staph pneumonia. My dr. told me
later that I was lucky that I got there when I did. He reamed the sub a
new arse**le, and that doc left the practice not long after. (good
riddance!)
Elcie just jumped on my lap and started purring, so I am passing them
along to you.

Cats can get greedy that way. Any time we get a new cat, there is a
problem for a while with the senior cat overeating in an effort to
keep all the food to themselves. Fortunately they have always
worked it out before it became a problem.
Dogs are even worse. In part because they are designed to gorge and
in part because they vary so much in size. I have a heck of a time
when my daughters little chi-woof-woofs visit making sure they each
get enough to eat and that Kayla doesn't get far too much food. I
have to hand feed then when they are here so I know what they are
actually eating, then they go home and think their mom is going to
hand feed them too. Wrong.

Wow - your fault you were throwing up?? It's really scary how many bad
doctors there are out there. You're lucky that your ex had the good
sense to take you somewhere else, because that sounds like it was a
life-and-death situation.

If there's dry food in the saucers but the cats are crying for
something different, I often just move the stuff that's already out
onto a clean saucer. Half the time, they'll eat it. Anything that they
refuse to eat gets scattered on the lawn for the birds to eat, at
which point the cats get really interested in it again and spend ages
mooching through the grass looking for the food that they absolutely
refused to touch when it was on a nice clean plate in a nice warm
kitchen. Anything they miss gets eaten by blackbirds and starlings.

My cats don't like leftovers - or didn't; I think they're in an eating
competition now. If there were a few bits of kibble left, they insisted
they were starving, but wouldn't eat them. They would, however, eat
heartily from a new bowl filled to the brim with exactly the same kibble
that they were turning up their noses at minutes before.
