I think one of the things that Sable may enjoy about being an insider-cat now is the food. There is plenty of it; the hard-food is available throughout the day, and the soft is served regularly. I know she eats the hard-food, and know she likes the soft; fishy flavours seem to be her favourite.
But I have noticed a characteristic. When I am home, Sable is usually either downstairs in the library, or upstairs under the bed. When I feed her downstairs, where she will allow me to approach within a yard if I am moving slowly and hunched over (she will temporarily hide if I move too swiftly and am fully upright), she tends to eat only about half of her soft-food ration. When I garnish the remainder with a dusting of Fortiflora, she finishes her meal.
If she is under the bed, I will push her dish to her, and she will almost always consume the whole portion, without pause or further encouragement. I have observed this happening regardless of the flavour or variety. There are exceptions to this rule from time to time, but it applies for the most part.
My former outsider is starting to show her personality.
You know, some like to dine alone. And like little interruption, like the waiter coming back all the time asking questions while the diner has a mouth full. Maybe this is Sable.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. My guess is that she feels safer under the bed, so she eats at her leisure.
ReplyDeleteCats are a wonder.
ReplyDeleteEach cat has its own personality traits. Just like people, everyone is different.
ReplyDeleteGlad she is adjusting.
ReplyDeleteShe is very pretty and is really adjusting nicely.
ReplyDeleteShe just wants to do things *her* way!
ReplyDeleteYou have worked wonders with her
ReplyDeleteShe definitely seems to be adjusting to her changed life. She is doing things in her own time and in her own way.
