Answer Cat

Time to answer the questions that come through the comments.

Jake and Bathsheba commented that they don't get bowl fulls of kibble. Neither do I! Mum didn't put in the picture where she measures out the food. If I don't eat it all, what is left goes back in the measuring cup, then it gets topped off. In total I get one cup of kibble a day, half cup at a time, and a few treats. So since I had my head in the bowl eating up the last of what was there, mum just added a little more.
Daisy commented that I have a big food bowl. Yes I do, but that doesn't mean it gets filled up to the top. Mum did this as I have a tendency to eat fast, then then stuff comes back up. So mum got a wide bowl so the food spreads out and I can't get big mouthfuls. Mum says that as an extreme for kitties like me who eat too fast, you spread the kibble out on a cookie sheet, one kibble deep.

Scooby, Shaggy & Scout want to know what I eat to have such a glossy coat. It is a mix of Purina Cat Chow - Indoor Cat Formula and Purina Natural Cat Chow.

Lux commented that he comes whenever anyone is in the cooking room. I try to hang out nearby, and if I think that there is something I should be getting, I move in. I flop down on the floor right by mum's feets. Just in case she drops something or maybe I can make her drop something.

Eric and Flynn wanted to know if I got the birdie who was dead in our yard. No, mum wouldn't let me have it. Just in case it died 'cuz it was sick, don't want me to get sick from the birdie.

  8. Mom feeds us bout that much, but doesn't measure too closely. Maybe BONNIE should haf a bigger bowl to slow her down. I eat faster, but she's the one who eats fast enuf to get sick.
    Purrs! See you at the party, naybor!

  9. I get basically what you do Derby. Half a cup in the morning, 1/4 cup in the evening and then in the evening I also get 1tbsp. of stinky goodness. I never eat all the kibble though - so Mum does like you and re-measures it. I also get 6 tem-tay-shuns before bed time. Mum's hoping I lose some weight by my next VET check up!

  10. We all get a cup a day as well and a quarter cup of SG each. Oh, and treats!
    We eat the same combo of food that you do, The vet switched us off of Science Diet a few months ago - we love the Purina and Mommy likes it 'cause she can buy it at the grocery store.

  14. that cookie sheet thing for kibbles is a good idea, our mom thinks. Jesse is of the habit to swallow it whole and yak it back up. always on the carpet, never on the linoleum, right mom? we might try that,

    Thanks Derby!
