They're down to one cat plus the dog now....but due to the other 3 either passing and one needing to go to a farm instead. The 3 cats would lie on the floor outside her bedroom and meow and do the foot under the door thing. The meowing was so pathetic as to try to make one feel sorry for them. They had the best of owners and were plump. Our cat was independent as cats tend to be. She "taught" us to play fetch with little nerf balls. After some time the balls would disappear to ???? We found only some when we moved. Where the others went---would be any human's guess. The late evening Zoomies were hysterical to watch. Hope you find a happy food choice for yours.
My wife says I'm a soft touch when it comes to Kitty. I suppose I am. The little critter is a past master at eliciting sympathy.

The nerf ball thing is funny, and reminds me of something I just found out a few weeks ago. I began noticing that pens were disappearing. My wife denied being the culprit and to be honest I tend to be pretty forgetful myself so I just chalked it up to putting them down and forgetting where. Kitty has a favorite chair that she sleeps on. One day I saw the tip of a pen sticking up between the seat and the back of the chair. Further investigation revealed FIVE pens stuffed in there.
