The bribing of cats is a serious thing...

[la_marquise]

Ish has stopped gaining weight quite as quickly as he did at the start of the new diet, so I have been experimenting with new ways to get food down him. Today, I proudly present catnip-infused chicken! (See the woman who hates to cook cook when her cats are involved.)
Horus is very very impressed. Ish has yet to sample it.

(Ish is doing okay: the inflammation is reduced and he's full of energy and eating well. He's just not regaining weight at the rapid rate he did at the start.)

Skirt of the day: blue wedgewood.

Catnip infused chicken you say...remind me to try that the next time Phae's heath mysteriously goes south, like it does.

Wishing Ish a nice, pleasant weight gain.

Glad to hear the pusscats are doing well.

Send them round to the woman who loves to cook some time. :o)

Wishing Ish a pleasant increase in majesty.

Ish, eat the nice food.

Bribing cats is definitely an art.

Glad he's regained his bounce. That is often a surer indication of health than eating / weight gain. Good luck with your gourmet cat cooking. Maybe you should ask Gordon fr some tips - or Jamie. Neri says Mreouwww!

Try opening a tin of line-caught Alaskan salmon, the Really Expensive stuff. If Pandora ever learns how to open the tin herself, she will be the size of Boomer in no time.

(not a serious suggestion)

As others have said, bounce is a better indicator than weight gain. As with weight loss, we all hit plateaus...

I demand that you send the recipe for the catnip chicken to my human immediately. If not sooner.

Hahaha, that sounds like a nice bribe, er, I mean "meal".
Best wishes for Ish's weight!

Appetite doesn't seem to be a problem with my cats. In fact the black one just gets bigger and bigger. No matter how much he eats, he thinks he's starving. Mine are generally content with the store-bought stuff. But I do treat them with chicken and turkey when we humans have it.

Any time I make fish, the sit in front of the oven (or microwave) and cry while it bakes.

I have a recipe for fish in an herbed cream sauce that when I make it, I must lock the kitties away until we are done eating. But the last time I looked, I couldn't find the recipe :( I believe it had heavy cream, some lemon, and various herbs that taste good with fish.

Bounce is good. Does Ish like fish?

This is the feline equivalent of hash brownies, isn't it?

I can't believe that desperance hasn't already invented that! Hope it works...

Dear Ish,

please just eat the damned food. They'll just find nasty medicines if you don't.

xx,

Rose

wow, that's impressive. Maybe I should sprinkle catnip on the food Watson refuses. Not cooking, mind you, just as a garnish. (Watson's not sick, just finicky.)

Hope Ish is doing better.
