well it's weird, she even lick her toothpaste willingly. i will buy different food today maybe she's just bored of her regular food?
Well, they are cats.Sorry for another double post. I figured something. I opened a new can, rivel seems eager to eat that one quickly.
It's so weird. Maybe there really is something bad in the last can (but silver ate it like nothing happened) or it might be the freshness? Like refrigerated content would lose some of the aroma, i do reheat them with hot water and i can even smell the aroma, but maybe not enough for cats?
Also rivel didn't have trouble with refrigerated food before. Like ever before this. It's so weird, but at least i can narrow down other reasons now. The Investigation continue. Other brand of cat food should arrive tomorrow.
If you mean the tuna treat, is a 2 pieces (the slice is about as big as the ones on sushi) shouldn't be harmful right?Well, they are cats.
I am so glad t hear she ate from the other can of wet food. So I am guessing it was just something with that other can. I am not sure, maybe it lost its freshness.
I wouldn't worry.
Be careful about feeding tuna to the cats though. I am not an expert on food and health but I know that experts worry about cats having tuna. You may want to post on the nutrition section to get good advice.
It happens, cats are finicky. But it sounds like Rivel is back to normal.
How is Rivel acting with the new kitty? And acting normal in general?
I am not an expert on food so I am not sure. I would post a thread on the nutrition section and see what people that have expertise think.If you mean the tuna treat, is a 2 pieces (the slice is about as big as the ones on sushi) shouldn't be harmful right?
As for food, mine is tuna and chicken mix. I didn't know tuna was bad, as long as you mix in poultry or other white meat too. It's grain free wet food with affordable price and few filler so i thought it wouldn't be so bad, but i will look into it later. Thank you.
As for rivel, yeah. I already used the gate again, but i do not have it open all the time yet, just during playtime or just leave it during the time rivel is awake and she would check it out, hissed several times but did not growl. Sometimes she check the other one out without hissing.
Other than that, she's pretty normal. She was kinda normal other than the eating problem
She does whatever she was doing previously. Like the bathroom is door is beside my room's, she has another scratch board and litter box there, so she does whatever she needed to do, then go back to living room, laying or sitting on the sofa.That sounds really good about Rivel and the new kitty. What does Rivel do after she hisses? How does the kitty act?
"She does whatever she was doing previously.

That is wonderful.She does whatever she was doing previously.

Food is still kinda sensitive, i still have to feed rivel away from the bathroom, and i have to feed her first before the silver or she would give me some serious stink eye. She wouldn't eat kibble treat in front of silver and more interested in watching.
Meanwhile silver is just dandy, as long as i play and feed her regularly. She's already rolling around and rub my leg when i am around. I can feel the bathroom is starting to be too cramped for her since she has way more energy now (probably a good thing because she used to almost lethargic) but i am not rushing things.
You are welcome but THANK YOU for all you are doing to save lives. You are wonderful!!!thanks for your guidance. i am probably will be a lot more stresed without you guys.
also i have confirmed rivel doesn't want refrigerated food. one solution is to change brand with smaller can so it doesn't stay in the fridge for long. the food i opened last night become no-no this morning i have to hand - fed her again. i tried reheating it, it doesn't work.
edit: i will try several things. i read around, it seems the food loses aroma or pick up other scents from the fridge that makes the cat hesitant to eat it. i will try bunch of stuff like glass jars, or tupperware box, et cetera.
Sounds like major progress is happening!!C calicosrspecial
so i tried getting silver out while rivel is awake. they don't hiss. silver was on my stomach while i watch TV, rivel is on the coffee table sitting. i pet her with my left hand, while using my right to pet silver. after a while rivel got up and moved elsewhere. is that good or rivel moved because she's uncomfortable.
there's no hissing though, they just stared a while but i try to distract each other from staredown by petting them.
i will try that. putting it in glass container probably works too without putting it in fridgesAs far as the food situation goes, I personally don't understand why so many fuss with the fridge and reheating. I spent $3 on two of those cat food can lids that pet stores sell. I feed my cats half a 5.5 oz can in the morning, put a lid on the can, leave it lidded on the kitchen counter, and later in the day give them the rest of it. The lid prevents any browning at all, and they treat it like fresh food. I've had lidded cans sit overnight by accident, and it changes nothing. My conclusion is that for processed cat food, which contains perservatives (of course they do) there is just no need to fuss with refridgeration. Of course, if one has only one cat and tries to save further money with the really big cans, refridgeration may be necessary.
I'm not too sure of the science of it. With a lid on, and half the food in the can, there *is* some air, so why doesn't it brown at all? Will it matter that there is *more* air in your glass dish? I like science, but the principle here is beyond me.i will try that. putting it in glass container probably works too without putting it in fridges
