Gray Hairs & Prayers Answered

**Craftlady** · 04-13-2007, 08:12 PM

Thumper had not been wanting to eat last 24 hrs. I forced feed her some wet food last night & gave appetite simulant stuff & gave some Meow Mix Tarter Control Treats, which she now loves, thus the next thought/conclusion.

Turns out she HATES the Authority Hairball Formula (been eating it for 3 weeks). I went out and found the stinkist food thinking her sense of smell is off because of the tumor or because of her age (8 years) things dont smell like they used to when she was younger. Hoping to get her to eat.

Well................ She LOVES Meow Mix (4 fish flavor)
Scarfed it down like it was no tomorrow.

Been eating it mixed with the Authority although she is smart and pickes out the Meow Mix :lol

Everyone else thought they died and went to heaven. Eating this weight management crap is for the birds they have told me loud and clear.

So for now, I'm going to mix both. Next time we are up at PetSmart, I'll look for the Authority Fish mix and see if that smells "fishy" enough that they would like it. If not the ProPlan Purnia (at Petsmart) has a Samon and Rice.

Hopefully small bags (4 lbs) I can see if they like it.

One of the things specialist said "you'll know when it's time, when she stops eating" She's giving mom and dad gray hairs

Our prayers were answered, she just hated the food and it wasnt anything else more serious.

WHEW! What a relief it was just "attitude"!!!!!!

Thumper, don't worry your purrents so!!!!

Has the Reiki gal said anything about Thumper lately?

Cathy,
Our Reiki gal continues to believe this tumor will shrink.
There are times, hubby and I wonder if it will ever go away.

What a relief that she just was protesting. Let's see her continue to get better now.

They must be like humans when it comes to food... Say diet food and nobody likes it! I have noticed Boo eats very little of her allergy free food and will eat the regular everytime I let her out of the bedroom. THEY KNOW!!

I so agree that they know LOL
They've all been eating Nutro Weight Management forever, I found the Authority that was just the same but way cheaper.
3 weeks, Thumper decides she hates it.
Everyone else still eats it LOL

Yay Thumper - good girl eating like a good girl.

Just a tip --- don't waste your money on a 4 lb bag. Buy the large one as if you are certain they are going to like it. If they hate it, then return it to Petsmart. They have a no questions asked return policy and will take back anything, even open bags of food.

I'm aware they take back food, but if they dont like it I'm not out $29.95 for a bag, I'm only out $8.95 for 2 weeks until I can get back up to PetSmart since it's 27 miles one way to get there. Also, I never buy big bags until I know they like something, I feel it's very wasteful because you know those bags get thrown away in the trash that are opened. Pitful to waste food.
