Pumpkin loves peas and carrots and corn. She begs for them when she sees or smells them. Vene used to eat cantaloupe as I'm cutting them up. How about yours?

my furkids are strictly carnivores. I present them with either fruit or vegetable and they start to assemble their favorite toys and threaten to leave Shocked

Zeus has run off with a pork chop before while I was preparing dinner...wouldn't catch him doing that with a head of broccoli. Then one Christmas I found him with his head stuck in the turkey carcass (that was particularly embarrassing with my entire family here for dinner), but he wouldn't dream of peeling a kiwi.

Mary, you changed your name! How come you have to start with 1 feedback? Lol's with Zeus and your reply! As kittens, Milo and Venus used to go after chicken carcasses too.

Hey, what happened to MaryNH's post count? That's weird! She didn't change her name. Going back on topic about cats and fruit....I've never had a cat that liked fruit. Then again, I don't think I've ever offered them fruit. Handsome thought string cheese was real worms. This sounds really goofy, but now and again I would give Handsome some string cheese and he would throw it up into the air and then attack it. It was so funny! Hmmm...what I just said had absolutely nothing to do with fruit. Romeo and Juliet only get their Wellness, but it has fruit in it. Does that count?

My cats seem to like peas but I can't think of any other fruit or veggie that they have been interested in other than that. Oh, and garbonzo beans...some of them like those too.

LOL! I can just picture that! <- I hope this is supposed to be someone laying on the floor laughing really hard?

You and Max are just too funny. I hope you get to adopt Mikey. Max might be persuaded to stop dropping his mice in your fresh coffee cups and go after Mikey instead. Mr. Green But they'll be like this when you are working or out shopping:

My kitties don't seem interested in veggies. They absolutely love tuna, though. When I open a can and they get a whiff of it from a different floor, they come running for a sample.

Mary:
Quote:
the leaking has slowed down and the bloat seems to be less pronounced. She doesn't look pregnant now...but she is thin. Eating like a horse though.

She still has to wear a diaper at night and during the day when no one is home...but there is much less cleanup

She has a recheck on Friday and I hope it goes well. Her last appointment there was so much fluid around her heart that her vet could barely make out a heartbeat - so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that problem is gone. But she pants a lot and that has me concerned about the condition of her heart.

She's so happy that it's hard to imagine anything else. She's done to one prednisone/day and that ends Saturday - hopefully the liver won't get so enlarged again.

I wonder how the maintenance of this will be - but will cross that bridge when we get there.


Best wishes for Sadie's re-check on Friday!
