People have sent Curly a variety of wet foods to sample, which has been a good thang -- I always worry that he doesn't get enough variety in his diet, even though the vet tells me the cat doesn't give a shit about variety at feeding time. In fact, apparently, most cats prefer consistency, as long as what they're getting to eat is fresh.This is the contents of a can of Fancy Feast (no, not yesterday's leftover gravy!) that pg sent along, yesterday (with a squirt of anti-hairball goo on top... which he eventually lapped up, entirely). Unfortunately, Curly and wet food don't really mix. He'll lick it, taste it, and nibble a few bites, as always... but he leaves 95% of it to go to waste. I've tried this several times, whenever I've had a free coupon to try a can or pouch of something wet and smelly to feed Curly, and he has the same, general reaction, each time (he even does this with tuna, believe it or not!)... so it's time for me to stop presenting it to him.
The goodies will not go to waste, though. The Nashville Humane Society's new kennels and clinic are just behind the Kroger I visit, and I will take the wet items y'all sent me over to them, to feed less-finicky kitties.

That's good. (I rarely give my cats wet food, although they got Fancy Feast for Thanksgiving. I might have to develop a taste for it if I can't find a good job;)
Toofers!
Our boys have developed a taste -- a refined and finicky taste -- for Fancy Feast. They get dry food all day, but when we come home from work, the kitties split a can of Fancy Feast. (This started as a way to sneak medicine into one of them.) Now FF has come out with some elegant flavors, like chicken florentine, for pete's sake, and the boys think those are just the bees knees and have started to shnub their old favorites. Spoiled? Oh yeah. Honestly, when I die I want to come back as one of my cats.
JP, good for you for giving the extras to less fortunate kitties.
