Premade success!

Typing this is proving to be very difficult. I expect to wake up from a dream or a fantasy. I am in a trance because...


ALL THREE CATS ATE RAW FOOD TODAY!












This is baby step in the battle I've been having with the cats in an effort to switch them to raw food. My ten-year-old ladies have been fighting me tooth and nail in giving up kibble. Blue is less picky. She will happily eat anything raw.

But today, I outsmarted them! Today, when the gobbled up their wet food sprinkled with ground up kibble, they had no clue that mixed in was a premade raw patty. HA! HA!

Before, they have snubbed any wet food mixed in with a premade raw patty. They would take one sniff and claim I was feeding them poison. They would turn up their little smooshed-in noses in utter disgust.

But thanks to a tip from a friend (I LOVE YOU COLLEEN!), the ground up kibble sprinkled on top did the trick! This time I will be more patient and take it at their pace. However long it takes, I will accommodate them until we achieve 100% raw. I'd like to eventually not use the premade patties and feed them fresh, raw meat with bones, but for now, I will take I can get!

When I tried to tell The Mafiosos the good news, they were less than excited. You see, whenever I have tried to convert the cats to raw, the dogs get to eat whatever the cats won't touch. Which has always been EVERYTHING. The Mafiosos were not happy that I did not use their services as cat food garbage disposals. :-)




"Boo! I wanted to eat CAT FOOD!"

  1. Hmm, it seems your cats' forensics testing laboratory is lacking, if you were able to slip that one by them! ;-)
