593.0. "In need of help for kitty" by POLAR::BOURGUIGNON () Wed Aug 25 1993 15:50

    
    Hi, I'm new to this notes conference but I have been reading
    it for about three months now.I really like the way everybody talks 
    about their(and other)cats! I was wondering if you could help me with
    my kitty problem?! Shadow (between 2-3 years old) has always eaten
    dry food , but always had her treats such as tender vittles,and was
    always quite happy, until, Babie-- she's our new kitty (6mths).
    We feed Babie her kitty food, which is canned food, and Shadow has 
    taken a liking to it, and now she won't eat her dry food and meows
    (howls) for canned food -- whenever I walk into the kitchen no less!
    She get's along great with Babie, actually mothering her and teaching
    her everything she knows,but she's also getting fat and demands food 
    every time I walk by her or pass by the kitchen! What can I do to get
    her out of this habit?

    I hope noone thinks this is cruel, but I just ignore them.  They get
    the hint very easily.

	I feed mine wet food, they like it best.

	I clear up when they've done, and put down dried food for the day.

	When they know the food will be removed before I go to work, they 
	don't tend to pick at it so much.

	They do meow at me when we're eating chiken and any other meat, I tap
	them on the head between the ears with one finger, and say NO.
	They then sit patiently 'till we've done, hoping there will be a bit
	left over to put in their bowls!
