Carol Shenkenberger was heard barking to Susan Cook about Re: best food!

 CS> Suggestion?  Cobee may be folowing 'nature' and you shouldnt mess with
 CS> that. Feed Cobee beef and chicken. 

We are probably going to do just that. He will eat the other flavors
but definitely shows a preference. I think it's because I also give
him tiny bits of cooked chicken or steak when I have that for dinner.

 CS> Sadly, I know Face is failing rapidly. I suspect that long sad trip to
 CS> the vet is soon due to her quality of life.  She seems not in 'pain'
 CS> but she's not having any fun either.  Pure age. Pedigree-wise, she's
<SNIP> How old is she? I am assuming she is getting on in age. It's never
easy to let a pet go regardless of what age they are.. they sure have
a way of squirming into your heart and claiming a peice for their own!

 CS> Roscoe suprisingly, is still going strong at age 13.5 or so.  Had
 CS> several scares over the years about him but essentially I was warned
 CS> he wouldnt make it past age 6 and each vet since then has been telling
 CS> me it's borrowed time (and now i get 'jesus! He's still alive and ok!
 CS> Thom the Rescue Kitty?  Well techncally the others are also but Thom
 CS> is pure 'tabby'.  His only problem is he is 23 lbs pure KAT.   Vet
 CS> says he isnt really overweight as it's mostly muscle but we cant
 CS> reduce his food access without also also reducing it for the other 2
 CS> (bad, real bad to do!). It's ok though. Roscoe just chased Thom around
 CS> the house again so Thom got his workout! 
 CS> Gotta laugh though.  There's something very comical about a 4.5 lb cat
 CS> chasing one who's 23 lbs til the 23 lb cat gets tired, sits on the
 CS> little one, and starts licking it clean til it ****YOWLS**** to get
 CS> free and starts the chase of the big one again....

Grin... I can just picture it.. Roscoe being a crotchety old codger giving
this big whippersnapper his commupence.. (and secretly enjoying it for
the sheer fun of it all!)
