The last few weeks have been something of an experimental period, to try to establish a feeding routine for Louis Catorze now that he’s on wet food.
This is what I’ve discovered:
- There is one variant which he doesn’t love quite as much as the others. Guess which it is? Clue: it’s the fish that started this whole thing off. (That’s right: despite turning into an absolute hell-beast when we’re preparing or eating salmon, when it’s in cat food he likes it but doesn’t LOVE it. )
- I have to mush the fish flakes into an indescribable paste before Catorze will eat them. (Yup: he, who happily munches the heads off mice and rats, won’t eat a salmon flake if it’s more than 0.01cm².)
- Catorze’s preferred serving size is not a whole pack, like a normal cat, nor even half a pack, but three-quarters of a pack, three times a day. Or maybe four times, depending on his mood. (Obviously if it’s four then that works out at three packs a day, which is fine. However, two and a quarter packs a day is just nonsense and doesn’t sit well with me psychologically.)
In addition to all of the above, the new intake of wet food means a constant round of washing Catorze’s fancy Japanese ergonomic raised bowls and his antique Louis XIV silverware.
It’s a hard life being a Catorzian slave. Yet, I’m sure if you asked Catorze, he would tell you that this is only right and proper, and that all cats should be treated like this.
