- Be glad. Be very glad. My 19 week old (Feeper) likes licking faces.
- Anywhere. As long as it's the face. AND, unfortunatly, ONLY if it's
- a SLEEPING face.
-
- Four A.M. is not the best time for loving affection from my felines.
-
- Since her diet is just fine (Science Diet Growth formula, some kitty grass
- I've been growing for her, and some odd occasional treats) I think she
- just happens to like the taste, and doesn't actually need the salt/whatever.
-
- NOW if I could just discourage her from it while not discouraging her from
- sleeping with us. Of course, I don't think I really mind. Nermal (my
- year-old cat) has become very uh.. *dignified* and *aloof* since Feeper
- showed up, and has started sleeping in Siberia. (Probably because she's
- overweight and can't run away fast enough from Feepers sharp little
- "playful" claws)
-
- OBQuestion: Anyone have experience with the "I'm an adult cat and don't
- want to play with this little sh*t" syndrome? AND! I've got a very
- hectic schedule, and can't feed them at regular times. I've been doing
- the "open feeding" thing, but they're on different diets. (feeper gets
- growth, and Nermal is on Hills weight reducer.) Feeper ignores the
- weight reducer stuff, but I *think* Nermal's nipping into the growth
- formula, because she hasn't dropped any weight for a while. Any
- suggestions out there in net.land?
