The answer to this enduring, burning question is...perhaps both. Mr. Kiwi lives for eating. Before I begin this story, I need to fill you followers in on a little history. Kiwi has ate more than his fair share of food. He eats 2-3 scoops of cat food daily and a wet pack at night. However, if you do not feed him on HIS schedule he will let you know. He reminds you of one of those sirens when danger or a disaster is happening, and just like a disaster alarm it doesn't quit until the disaster is gone...the same with him.
Kiwi's food is your normal, run of the mill star shaped kibbles. Well, he doesn't exactly know how to eat them correctly,or just doesn't care. He eats his kibble bits down to one last star "prong" and leaves it next to bowl.You would think he would do this to only 1 or 2, but no not Kiwi "Mr. All High and Mighty Kitty", does this to ALL of them. Therefore, his food rug ends up constantly being littered with his "nib lets" as we like to call them. As you can imagine, this is quite annoying to deal with. So when you walk into the room and you see about 40-50 nib lets all over the place around his food bowl, and the worst part is that he meows for more!!! Get a life cat.
OK now to tell my story, or really my boyfriend J.C.'s story. One morning J.C. was up getting his coffee ready as usual before school and he decided to tend to the animals. He took our dog out to let her do her business and then feed the cat. He walked upstairs and into the cat's domain. Yes, I said domain, because it is. He has a full bedroom to himself with a dome litter box, scratching post, perch/cave,a padded sleeping tent, and an array of toys. Can we say spoiled?? Well, J.C. said he looked around the bedroom and couldn't find him and proceeded to the drawer where we keep his food and started scooping it out. All of a sudden he said he heard a meow and scrambling below him. Cat litter is flying in places it should never fly, and in the midst of all this....Kiwi. Kiwi comes out making a ruckus and does a u-turn and squats and drops a turd (sorry for the language) off his butt!!! The cat can't even wait to finish his business because he is so obsessed with eating. I sometimes can't believe I am living with this crazy animal. :-/

That crazy cat~~have you dewormed him lately? You may even need to have his thyroid checked, that can cause a revenous appetite sometimes also. Just a suggestion....
ReplyDeleteI can't spell it right, but try some Eukanuba cat food. It's in little balls. You might even get one of those cat feeders that you fill up and fall with gravity. I have one for my cat Ernie. He eats when ever he feel like it. Maybe that might be good for your kitty. Ernie is not fat and doesn't overeat. They have pill for over-activity and stress. I had to give it to our dog after his buddy died. Do you let him outside? Perhaps if he were an inside outside cat he'd do better. lol I do laugh at his crazy-ness. Bless his heart...debbie
ReplyDeleteI have tried about 25 different cat foods, expensive to cheap and different shapes. I have finally decided on a halfway decent cheap brand that he likes and give him a bowl full, which he seems to enjoy. He still chews up and spits out niblets, I think he would do that with any food.
