The difficult business office of having multiple cats who are on multiple diets is keeping the proper noses inwards the proper nutrient bowls.
I had done this before, amongst my Devon Rex rescue cats. Chanterelle had been on a restricted diet; Cooper wasn't. The solution proved to travel easy, every bit Chanterelle had a hip injury in addition to would no longer limit onto my kitchen counters. So I'd travel out a container of Cooper's favorite nutrient opened upwards on the counter, in addition to a bowl of Chanterelle's prescription diet at their traditional feeding station.
No such luck amongst Geronimo. Or Milo in addition to Lucy.
Milo in addition to Geronimo |
So I began past times feeding Milo in addition to Lucy on my island, in addition to Geronimo on the counter. This works—so long every bit the kids in addition to I recollect to set the nutrient away when the cats are done amongst it. After all, the medical staff at warned me when I brought Geronimo habitation that they had to operate to convince Geronimo to swallow his prescription food. He is a well-behaved, slowly going truthful cat ... who may travel convinced that he needs to swallow his prescription food, only that doesn't hateful he doesn't honey whatsoever I'm feeding Milo in addition to Lucy. If their bowl isn't placed safely on exceed of the refrigerator, he'll happily chow down.
The i matter I didn't await was that my sweetness Lucy would honey Geronimo's prescription food. That she would limit upwards onto the counter in addition to wolf downward whatsoever she could, fifty-fifty the half-bitten crumbs Geronimo leaves behind.
In fact, she likes it in addition to thence much that sometimes, she'll teach to keen lengths to teach to it. Apparently, she missed the memo that prescription nutrient is icky.
Now the lamentable tidings virtually this prescription nutrient trip the calorie-free fantastic we're doing over here: it's working, only non fast enough. Geronimo is scheduled for surgical procedure to take away his bladder stones on Apr 4. Let's promise it all goes well; he's non virtually to travel a foster failure even in addition to thence in addition to pass the balance of his days amongst us, only that doesn't hateful he hasn't wormed his agency firmly into our hearts over here.
Editor's Note: We're happy to study that Geronimo did good inwards his surgical procedure in addition to is at habitation recovering. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 big give cheers y'all to the veterinarians who took keen attention of Geronimo!
