A few days ago, Illi cooked dinner and as she was cutting up the chicken breasts, she put a few pieces of raw meat on a plate for the cats. To our surprise, they ate it. This was surprising because they won’t eat raw fish or cooked mince. So the yesterday I bought some ‘moist’ cat food at the supermarket and fed them some, and they licked the plate clean. Today I gave them the rest of the food that had been in the fridge and although they started out rather enthusiastically, they didn’t finish it. This leaves me with the question…why? I wonder if it was novelty yesterday, or whether it goes back to what something Dr Harry said once about animals not really liking food from the fridge because it is not fragrant enough. I guess tomorrow may provide the answer.
Oh, the pic is of them when they started out happily getting into the food when I first put it on the ground…the pic really highlights the difference in size between our 2 year old GREY cat (Angel) and our 9 month old WHITE AND GINGER cat (Caramel)!
I don't usually buy wet food, but whenever I have, I do notice that they always like a freshly opened tin better! I think cold food doesn't taste as good and maybe it has a slightly metallic taste on the second day.
ReplyDeleteI have decided that wet food it a treat, something to put a little variety in their diet. I also give them cat treats, dried fish and dry whiskas as treats. Their normal diet is sciencediet or advance-sometimes a mix of the two!
