When will Lord Phaedrus learn to watch his girlish figure?

[fireun]

Phaedrus- Mom! Mom! I'm hungry!

April- *goes to feed the cats* ...you have food.

Phaedrus- That's not the food I want!

April- Your dish is full. That is the food you will eat...dear gods, I have turned into my parents.

Phaedrus- So...canned salmon time?

April- ...yeah.

I'm curious... Does Phaedrus express any particular interest in dairy products?

(Cue regular conversation in our house... "Bird! You are *not* a mammal!"

Mildmay adores cottage cheese and yogurt. Phaedrus is ambivalent about dairy.

Bravo, Phaedrus! Excellent cat-behaviour...

(Actually, having said that, I have been blessed with easy eaters. The girls just ate what they wanted from a bowl of kibble; the boys just eat everything, regardless. I have seen other cats wailing their hunger at the same time as turning up their noses at food on offer, and was bewildered. As of course I ought to be.)

I have had Phaedrus hunger strike on me a few times. I generally out stubborn him and he goes back to eating whatever is presented to him.

But somehow he KNOWS when I have a stash of canned food 'treats' somewhere in the house, and will ask for them incessantly.

The other cat, Mildmay, really just eats anything. So nothing is wasted, and if Phae tries to be too stubborn about it and turns up his nose at the bowl, Mildmay gets a nice large meal.

They exist to try and get one over on us, they really do.

Agreed.

I have never had a cat that was a fussy eater, for which I am always grateful. Any food I buy, my cats are thrilled to have. I got lucky.
