Rotten Cats
 There are two cats in our house, Olive and Slinky (aka Ollie and Stinky). They have been forced to make quite a few adjustments since my daughters arrived almost twenty months ago. In the old days, these stinking cats used to get tons of attention. We used to be meticulous about separating their food since both of them had different dietary needs.Olive is black and white like a penguin and rotund -- the cat likes her kibble, there's no denying it. She has a history of urinary tract infection, so she eats Hill's Prescription Diet C/D, which is a food designed especially for cats with her health issues. I also feed her Nutro Natural Choice, Oceanfish flavor, food you can buy without a vets prescription, unlike the Hill's Prescription Diet brand, also formulated for urinary tract health. In terms of human food, Olive is partial to licking cucumbers and watermelon, and trolls around under the high chairs in the kitchen for tossed chicken nugget leavings.  Slinky is an all-black kitty and the furriest beast I think I've ever seen. She had an attitude the minute she got home from the pound. You'd think she had been here all along and Olive was the cat who was a newbie. But no. She showed up here already jealous and desperately in need of love. So she got it. She also got a series of hairballs, or as I like to refer to them as "the $500 hairballs", which landed her in the vet hospital for a week late last year and almost put us in the poorhouse. She now eats food formulated especially for cats with bad hairballs, Purina Pro Plan, Hairball Management, Salmon & Brown Rice Formula. Slinky enjoys helping clean up the scrambled egg chunks that are inevitably left under the girls' high chairs.Like I said, we used to separate feedings with these felines. But priorities have shifted significantly since human babies arrived. Now the food dishes reside next to one another in the basement, next to the water bowl both refuse to drink from, and the large mug full of water from which they both guzzle. Of course, their hairball and urinary health is just fine, and both eat one anothers food. We were probably being too obsessed with separating things when they were our only wards. Now we're obsessed with separating the non-dairy baby's food from the dairy baby's food. Why can't everyone just eat the same thing? WHY? |
