I am a bit finicky though, I don't like dry food at all. I much prefer food with jelly or gravy so I can lick it off and then leave the rest if I don't feel in the mood.

It would be fun to attach a camcorder to his neck to see where he went. We had a ginger tom growing up, more ginger with less white than Charlie but how we pandered to him too.

Only thing is, we have 11 cats (and no , that isn't a typo) and when they turn up their noses at something they've been given, we're lucky - there's always "someone" who isn't quite so finicky!

My dog, Rayna, does the same thing. I will put her food out for her sometimes she will ate it right away and other times she will wait and eat it later. Her favorite time to eat is as I go to bed or after. I get her the more expensive food so she will not itch as much. She does seem to eat it better too.Dan the Mountain Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011867680756996102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-91650859235405890172017-03-05T21:37:02.778+00:002017-03-05T21:37:02.778+00:00My wife buys our cat the "fancy" stuff. ...My wife buys our cat the "fancy" stuff.
