The two tomcats have settled down and now that they know their food arrives at the same time(s) every day, they are quite sweet. They have shed their feral suit of armor and they just want to be petted and loved on. They along with the two kittens are eating so many cans of food daily that my supply went down quickly. Tonight, I was opening up my last three cans of wet food and the doorbell rang. It was one of my volunteers and friend and she had a bag of canned kitty food for us! I was so relieved because the two kittens don’t really like the dry stuff much and one of the tomcats has major mouth issues so he can only eat wet food. The timing couldn’t have been more purrfect for the arrival of the 15 cans of food.
Flanigan the orange and white boy from the trailer park is proving to be quite a challenge. He won’t eat cat food- either wet or dry. The only thing this kitty eats is deli chicken which leads me to believe he must have been getting his dinner from the deli across the street from the trailer park. I have tried all sorts of different brands of food types of cat food- he wants nothing to do with any of it. It HAS to be chicken and if it isn’t he very LOUDLY tells me what he thinks about the situation. I have him in the living room because my neighbor was really exasperated by him hollering all night. So I took him out of the deck enclosure and brought him inside, what a mistake. He is LOUD! LOL Chicken will shut him up!
They are talking about snow by Christmas so we put the heater into the stall enclosure so the kitties: Lexi and Bradley will stay warm. The two toms have heated cat beds so they are set for the oncoming chilly nights.
God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world-
Excellent timing – and generous action – by the volunteer and friend, but I imagine even fifteen tins won’t last long. I hope you have more coming.
Snow is predicted here for Christmas Day. It’s good to see the cats comfortable and not caring a bit about the weather.
I have a cat that is particular about the texture of food. She will only eat poultry, chicken. Turkey, or duck, and not pate.
She likes Wellness Signature Selects in shredded White Meat Chucken and Turkey In sauce and Shredded White Meat Chicken with Chicken Livers in sauce.
I get it in 5oz cans at PetCo. They have sales a few times during the year and I can get a can for a little over $1 a can so buy several cases of 24 cans. Otherwise it can be quite spendy 🙁
I want to wish you and Mike and all those cats – and dogs – with you a happy Christmas. You do wonderful work, and though it may seem that at times it will overwhelm you, every day you help living creatures to have better lives. That’s something worthwhile.
Merry Christmas!
