You might want to hide those greens most of the time and just give at your discretion.
I did look a little at hauspanther. But those are generally $$$. I don't want to spend $$$ until we've got her gut sorted. And maybe also started on her joints.
Of course. But at this point, the only 90 she'll eat was Fancy Feast. I don't want to go back to that unless I absolutely have to. It's okay by me if she does her own naked transition 0/10, 0/25, etc as if the FF was still on the plate. As long as actually eats a 10 percent portion or a quarter portion at least a few times a day. I think all the new food is making her stomach something awful and I'm just trying to stay ahead of the carpet eating. That's why I'm being a little more annoying trying to get bites here and there when she looks like she'd rather eat a cat tree. The Boss Cat has probiotics in it. Maybe that will help settle her stomach. Tonight's selection will simply be Boss Cat dry with Rawz chicken pate for wet. I'm going to hold off on the rabbit for the moment to keep things simple.You might want to hide those greens most of the time and just give at your discretion.
And yeah, I wouldn't leave the moistened pieces out for more than an hour or two.
I know you're trying to find a regular diet for Betty, and that you're aware that a lot of experts recommend any new addition to the diet to be gradual. You know all about the 90/10 working up to 100/0. So I won't even mention that.
I'd opt for 48. It's too bad they don't have any like the one I got anymore.
It’s funny you should recommend the one with the all wood posts. Because look at the one I “bookmarked” (photo in my Photo Roll) at Petco today.
and 
I hope. 
But at least I know she’ll eat one or both of her options this morning: some Boss Cat and more 50/50. I don’t know if she eats it or just smells it. But I didn’t wake up to any barf this morning. So as long as my carpets remain dry, and she keeps eating real food, I’ll leave the catnip plant out for her. It’s supposed to be good for digestion.
I do prefer the faux fur over the carpet. Especially now that I know Betty will eat frayed carpet. But I think a new tree won’t have much loose carpet to tempt her. Also I am hoping the catnip plant will redirect her roughage desires when a new tree is obtained and installed.
Sounds like a good plan all the way. Cats like pattern/routine. They tell time by the light. I've always fed my cats on a schedule -- not a rigid one but basically before my breakfast and before my dinner, which are at pretty much the same times, especially with having to fit things into a schedule with roomies. And I've become very aware that Elvis is very good at telling time, because he comes in and wakes me up just about every day, at the same time, right before my alarm goes off. Very thoughtful of him!
Treats are bestowed right before bedtime and they absolutely know when that is.
Hopefully it won't come.
I split the last can into last night’s meals and a refrigerated portion for today’s meals. This morning I mixed a fresh can of FF into the remainder and used the hot water bath method to take the refrigerator chill out of first breakfast. And then I waited to see if the boss would go for this or demand a fresh Rawz can. She did a sniff and go drive-by twice over the next couple hours. Then she snuggled with me for a good hour before jumping down to inspect it once more. I thought she was going to eat it this time. Then she shows up at the catnip bar. 
But miracle of miracles, she went back to the plate and demolished it. Or at least that messy first pass that looks clean enough. But I know she’s saving the last of it for later. In any case, her food bill became that much cheaper knowing that I can use the full can of Rawz even if half of it still gets dumped—half a 5.5 oz can plus a 3 oz FF can gets stirred together. Half gets plated over twelve hours. The other half goes to the garbage disposal. The other half of the 5.5 oz can is now free to repeat this quartering on the next feeding shift. Wasteful. Sure. But I’d rather feed the disposal than the carpet. Anyway, whether it’s consistency, flavor, or both, she’s not so much a nibbler with this 50/50. She eats nearly an ounce in a go. Doesn’t sound like much. But it’s huge for her. And it’s such a relief that she can be trusted in that catnip corner once more. Here’s hoping this finally sorts it all.
YES!!!Minor crisis averted this morning. The other day when I made an after hours purchase of Rawz chicken, I wasn’t certain whether she’d take to it. I only bought four cans. Much of that went down the disposal.
She's eating just fine now. 50/50 mix is a hit. She ate herself fat, happy, and sleepy. She's been working on the same post-meal nap for over two hours now. It's been quiet in the office this morning. I left her napping in her sleeping corner cloud when the shift change occurred (the lights and music in both rooms are on schedules to shuttle me from front room to office at 9:30am.) I want to plate her next meal, and go out and pick up some more Rawz chicken cans. But I don't want to wake her.
You start work at 9:30? So you must work until late-thirty? I start as soon after 8 as possible and usually sign off at 5:30.She's eating just fine now. 50/50 mix is a hit.

Well, lookie here! The queen finally awoke from breakfast nap and wants lunch.
