Hmmm

I’ve been thinking…..why can I have dry food in my bowl all day but wet food only twice a day? Really, shouldn’t there be a bottomless bowl of wet stinky food too? This makes no sense. Unless….

It’s some attempt at controlling us. Or some sick form of staff entertainment; making us meow for our wet food.

Comrades, what do you think?

Since we don’t get much, a few pieces a sprinkled on top of the FF are a real treat for us. We get fed 5 times a day because after almost 19 years, I take drugs just to have an appetite, and our keeper has to clean up after we eat to keep Wally from eating all the leftovers.

Percy the Cat February 24, 2011 at: We get stinky noms twice a day, and we do not get dry foods.

There are also food timing machines that can open and distribute a bit of food at one time (they look sorta like a circle and have timers, mum thinks) that might solve that problem.

But we eat up all our stinky noms right away, so it doesn’t sit out very often.

By the way, dry noms are way more fattening for kittehs because they usually have corn and other grains that we don’t need.

Tricia Rule February 24, 2011 at: You’re lucky you get wet food twice a day Romeo. We only get it for breakfast and a very small amount! [It's "fattening"! Shh!]

Romeo February 24, 2011 at: Good point, Angelus. But I think there must be some sort of modern technology to keep wet food moist and bacteria free all day. Mayhap I should invent this genius apparatus.

Angelus February 24, 2011 at: Dude, think about it. Wet food, if left out, becomes dry and nasty. Also bacteria starts growing in it if we don’t eat it and it upsets our tummy. What would you prefer, things as they are now OR having the runs?

You decide.

Personally, I’d rather have dry noms.
