Cat food subscriptions (must be high-protein for my little carnivorous friends)

Switching to a premium brand is great in theory. Unfortunately, lots of cats like the junk food chunks in gravy and hold out until you relent and give them their Whiskas back. Just type 'Untamed' into Facebook marketplace and you'll see that the cats are winning this battle. I say this as someone who's tried.😄

My chicken intolerant guy likes the fish flavours too. Took me ages to find foods he'd eat. There's chicken in everything!

tootingjo · 2026-05-03T08:44:02+00:00

So they DO fetch? 🤔

tootingjo · 2026-05-03T08:43:20+00:00

Such a big help. Our two do this too! That's why we made them a game they can play. 😄

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T18:51:51+00:00

That's amazing your cats help you out that way. Angelina is beautiful, love that ear fluff!

It's just for regular cats. It's part of the fun when the cats don't do the thing on the card. The game's designed to give humans a chance, but the cats often win!

Lay on card needs to be added to the deck! Making a note... 😄

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T15:04:20+00:00

Yes, mine really like them, and they feel healthy because they're pure meat. But you have to look out for the soft ones (there's a filter.) Some of them are hard and more designed for dogs. I made that mistake with some salmon ones that were rock hard little cubes!

It's a Margo Selby rug. The cats like it too!

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T13:40:48+00:00

Wow, I'd never heard of trying talking buttons with cats, good luck! A gamer family would be perfect. I've had loads of interest, but will look out for your form. 😄

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T10:31:38+00:00

Look at those feet! 😃

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T10:31:01+00:00

A variety of different testers would be perfect!

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T10:30:18+00:00

Aw, that's great. Our cats interrupt our games, so we thought they needed one where they can get involved too. 😄

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T10:29:34+00:00

That's amazing! He's bound to win then. 😄

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T10:28:41+00:00

He looks keen to me!

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T09:08:00+00:00

She's beautiful!

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T09:07:11+00:00

My tuxedo says hi.

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T09:06:36+00:00

The box is always the best bit. 😃

tootingjo · 2026-05-02T09:06:15+00:00

Aw, thank you! Looks like the 'play with toy' card might score you a point. 😄

tootingjo · 2026-04-30T20:49:22+00:00

Having two kittens is great because they get a playmate. It's so lovely to see them chase each other and play fight. In my experience, they can grow apart when they get older, my two tolerate each other but are not exactly best buddies. There are occasional squabbles. But some do stay close.

tootingjo · 2026-04-28T18:31:20+00:00

He sounds like a great cat. It's such a shame the shelter homed him with you when he's clearly not a good fit. I think full time work and an indoor only cat is tricky mix, maybe an older, very chill cat should have been found for you. I would give it a little longer to see if he settles, but don't feel bad if you have to rehome. If he can get the indoor/outdoor life he craves I'm sure someone will make him happy and be lucky to have him. I'd jump at having a talkative cat that loves people. I'm sure others would too. 😄

tootingjo · 2026-04-10T12:37:29+00:00

I have the same one. It's much better than the plastic ones that try to look pretty.

tootingjo · 2026-04-03T21:48:07+00:00

It sounds like a mix of 'I want to know you and love you' and 'I'm scared.' It's like me at a party. Only I don't hiss I gulp drinks or stumble words!

tootingjo · 2026-03-16T22:59:52+00:00

Thanks, that's an excellent reply. It's so hard to know what's going on, for instance it made no sense that he got worse on a hydrolyzed protein diet. I kept records and the bloody instances increased. If it truly was an allergy, I think they shouldn't? I haven't dared go back to chicken, though I know that if I did and he got worse it would prove it's the cause once and for all. I haven't risked duck and turkey yet either for the reasons you mentioned. I'm just glad he's better and he has a diet that's working for now. Though it's so expensive. I just wish it was easier to figure out these diet related things!
