Yum, the froyo mixed brownie and cookie dough swirl is one of my favorites. Not sure if I could share with my kitties (sorry!). But they have gotten to lick vanilla flavors.

The other day I ate yogurt and put my used spoon in front of Persia's face to see if she wanted to lick it, and she had this "what the --- are you doing" face and jerked her head back when I moved the spoon in front of her closer. Surprised she wasn't more excited! maybe it was the flavor? Although, she looooooves popcorn and chips. She stole a piece of popcorn out of my hand before it hit my mouth and I grabbed it from her mouth and stuffed it into mine before I could think of what I was doing and ate it, haha. Love how spunky miss Persia is.

Actually finished my assignments early this week. Just have to add some finishing touches. This is a shoe I designed. Wondering if the instructor will like it...

Wowza! Love the pop of blue and the mixture of browns. Not usually drawn to brown shoes, but these are super cute and I'd wear them. Love the strap idea, too. Seems very functional and more secure on the ankle.

Yeah, fish has a lot of bones. Supposedly they're cooked enough to not cause trouble, but it does make the mineral content pretty high and that's one reason a lot of people prefer to avoid fish-based foods. But now and then is fine.

Yep, avoid fish based food as I've heard it can cause problems if fed too often and plus Boone and Gracie aren't really fans of it. Normally I get any fish mixed with other meats. I've seen a few bones before but yesterday's just had so many!! Looked like both just ate around them for the most part. strider rose strider rose - cats are fine. They didn't seem to eat any. Left them in the bowl. They were small anyway so if eaten probably would have passed without issues.

That’s interesting they ate around them. I used to get it occasionally for my girls but I’d end up picking some bones out that I could see. As the girls got older fish flavors started giving them super stinky poos afterwards and sometimes didn’t stay down. So no more. I end up buying flat trays of single flavors because of that. Beef doesn’t stay down either. :rolleyes2:

I do still get fish flavors treats and bonito flakes for a food topper. I had to do whatever I could to get calories in Noodles. Mooch is just enjoying whats left of that stuff.:hearthrob:

Our girls loooove beef. We feed Wellness, and the beef&chicken and beef&salmon are by far their favorite flavors.

Boone and Gracie love beef too. Right now I have Tiny Tiger beef flavors and also had some Tiki Cat beef flavored but it's all gone. Fish is by far their least favorite but luckily there are so many other flavors to choose from.

I don’t remember beef bothering them when they were young. So maybe for them it’s age/health related. They mostly ate a medium quality dry when they were young though. When they both started with health issues Noodles basically got whatever it took to get calories; so even cheap dry if that’s what it took. As long as it was considered complete. She lived 5-6 more years like that I think.

Got home from work. Went to feed Boone and Gracie. Popped the top on the can... no Boone and no Gracie. That was weird. Put the bowls on the ground....no Boone and no Gracie. Got concerned.

Headed over towards youngest's room and heard a racket at the door. Figuered Boone and Gracie heard the POP and wanted out. Youngest was still doing online school so he couldn't open the door. I went to open it and it was locked.

Poor babies had to wait until son was finished to let them out. Boone and Gracie came running once the door was opened. :lol:

Today had such promise to be a great day. Last day of work until Nov 30. Co-worker who I like will be in today. Then I drove into work. I clipped a buck but I guess the positive is that I only lost my driver's side mirror. Then a few miles down the road, I almost hit a cat. Bad things happen in threes so I'm due for one more. :gaah:

Heh, tbh when I was younger the reason I wanted to shave my head was to NOT be "beautiful" or at least not attractive to men. Just my luck they would have liked that too :/. Now I just don't want to have to fuss with my hair.
