Je crie, donc je suis

After stuffing his face whilst in the care of Blue the Smoke Bengal’s mamma, and looking distinctly meatier and better even though we were only away for two nights, Louis Catorze is back to eating bugger all again. 

For the ten days or so leading up to our weekend away, I barely saw Catorze eat at all, to the point where I wondered whether he could even see his food. Then Cat Daddy and I had this exchange on WhatsApp: 

Not blind, apparently.

No chat-sitteur has ever commented on Catorze’s immense appetite before. I even asked Blue’s mamma to check that it was definitely him, and she could tell by his gut-wrenching screaming that it was. 

Now he is, once again, picking hesitantly at his food. And, as if the pair of them are on some sort of synchronised practical joke, Blue is screaming for more food even after he’s been fed, something that he never does when I chat-sit him. 

What on earth should we do about the pair of them, except perhaps arrange for me to become Blue’s permanent feeder and his mamma to come here and feed Catorze? 

Just eat the food, dammit.
Just be quiet, dammit.

    Aww, these cats are lovely!!

    I hope the feeding issues resolve. It’s kinda scary when they dont eat properly. Wee babies. 😦

      Merci! Catorze has always been able to take or leave food, which makes life difficult when we’re trying to bribe him to do things. 🙄

    I wonder…Ramses has been more manic about food the last few months. Maybe the last six months. Used to be The Kid was manic but it appears they’ve switched roles. Ramses isn’t losing weight or anything and is his normal rambunctious self except for wolfing down his food and whining for more…

      Do you give him more when he asks?

        He gets three small cans of food a day. Brandon gets 2-1/2. They get a small amount of kitty treats in the evening. So, no, I don’t give him extra.

    Didn’t you deny Catorze his favorite hot-smoked salmon the other day? Sounds like he’s staging a hunger strike.

    Life is rarely perfect, we all know it 😺 .

    Nices pictures. Is it Blue in the second one? He looks young and small, doesn’t he?.

      Yes, he does look small there! He isn’t quite so small in real life!

    Gracie was like that. I could never bribe her with food or sneak medications in it. She always knew.

    I think when cats are offered a different food than they are used to, they pig out until you buy them a whole case of it, then they no longer like it.

      Catorze had the same food in our absence as he always does. 🤣🤣🤣
