Katthays, I remember your darling “Mo” — and hopefully Rotley will have some time before he has to go, the same as your sweet and very loved baby. Thanks for the kind words!
Update:
The vet told me to TRY to get Ruggles on the same diet as Rotley (special and expensive KD dry and wet foods), but to TRY VERY HARD to get Rotley on this.
So I tried.
Rotley seems to take to the new foods quite well, and although he’s been sneaking some bites of the regular wet stuff when I put it out for Ruggles, Rotley seems to be showing some improvement.
Now, about introducing Ruggles to KD: I prepared lovely dishes of the different (and yes, very expensive) KD foods for Ruggles. Details are below:
1. I lightly heated a little dish of the wet stuff and put some Friskies gravy on top.
2. He took one mouthful, glared at me, and spat out the entire wet wad (eewww).
3. Ruggles proceeded to scrape OVER it like it was something in his litter box.
4. He then turned around and kicked invisible dirt over it and stalked off like Lady Macbeth
I put five tiny pieces of the KD dry food in Ruggles’ regular dry food. The five pieces were carefully placed on the mat next to his food dish this morning.
ANY suggestions?!?
