Stella over the weekend

My youngest sister watched my kitties over the weekend. She was great: regular visits and pettings for the kitties. Stella didn’t eat her wet food at all. She also didn’t touch one of the places where I put out dry food in the kitchen. My sister was pretty worried about Stella.

Tonight I gave Stella some different wet food — and she has been eating it all night off an on. I also found out that she did eat all of the dry food I had put out in a second location by Kiesha’s crate. Stella will often eat there instead of coming into the kitchen. I had filled it up just in case — and she ate all of it. So she did get some food.

She still looked so thin this evening. Poor kitten.

Kiesha also didn’t eat. That was a surprise. Her dry food was untouched and she didn’t eat the wet food either. Very strange because Kiesha normally eats anything you give her. (Missing a meal or two won’t hurt the little butterball.)

I guess they eat better when I’m here.

    I spent most of Friday evening and Saturday morning researching cat food. I have two cats who have two different (almost contradictory needs). Stella, with her kidney issues, needs lower protein (25-30%) and medium amounts of carbohydrates. A diabetic cat like Ambush needs high protein and low carbohydrates (ideally below 20%). California Naturals, the kitty…

    So in the middle of all of the stuff in the house, a small point of fun: four kittens romping in the back yard. Imagine my surprise to look out the back window and find a mamma kitty with four 6-8 week old kittens. I’m going to have to contact the Knox Feral Cat rescue….
