Fancy Feast: Tatsuko's favorite!

[mckitterick]

I have been a little worried about tatsuko_shikibu's weight for years now: She averages between 6 and 7 pounds - just a tiny thing! And keeping food inside of her is a challenge, too, so she only eats soft food (she nibbles a little crunchy stuff, but only as an appetizer, I guess). She's been eating less lately, so I thought I'd try something new: Fancy Feast soft food. It's pretty much human food by the looks of things. Last night, shredded chicken in broth; this morning, turkey nibbles in gravy.

Wow, but does she love this stuff! She just about finished the chicken in one meal last night, and it was all gone by this morning. But the turkey - whoah, it's already gone! Tonight's menu: chicken hearts & liver in gravy!

I expect that, very soon, she'll exceed 7 pounds for the first time in a decade ;-)

Now, off to ship some things at UPS (one's for you, edichka2!).

Aw, poor skinny little Tatsuko (née Tortilla). I'm glad you hit on something she likes.

I'm not sure about a long-term diet of baby food, by the way: animal hospitals use it because it's easy on the digestive system and highly palatable (for enticing sick animals to feed), but it may lack essential amino acids that cats (but not necessarily babies) need, notably taurine.

Ah, true; thanks for the tip about baby food. Maybe only as a treat once in a while to keep variety in her foods.

And, considering her original name, perhaps she'd like Mexican food; maybe a bit of chorizo.
