First I was explaining to Melody why she couldn't have the wet food she'd rejected back; I'd replaced it with kibble. (Canned food eater morning and evening with kibble midway up the cat tree as a snack.) And I mean explaining in FULL sentences to her. Then, I am telling the bits of kibble she didn't want that they are "rejects". And, I am still working 3 days out of my normal 5, so it isn't cabin fever .
