Cat Mutiny! Help!
OK, in an effort to be a good cat momma, I purchased $60 of fancy cat food for my three babies... artemis and royal canin dry, wysong and wellness moist. The cats will crunch on the dry but completely turned their noses up to the moist food.

Help! I know they'll "eat it if they get hungry enough" but any other suggestions?

Anyone wanna buy $30 of moist cat food off me?

1. Think they would be fooled if you mixed the dry and moist together?

4. mostly fish (salmon and trout) fish...
they all prefer fish to chicken and turkey (or they used to, in the less expensive brands like fancy feast and friskies).

What part of Montana?

6. Northwestern Montana
I live in Seattle now, but next year heading home.
How many cans do you have - I can buy them if you ship them. Let me know - if you want, email me.

7. my best friend lives in Bozeman, it is beautiful there...
I've considered moving to Montana but my husband isn't too happy with the idea of cold winters (though Bozeman's been in the 50s this last week).

I'm going to give my critters thru the weekend and see if they come around, otherwise I'd be happy to ship it to you if they go on a prolonged hunger strike. I have a few cans of fancy feast that I'm going to try to mix in and see where that gets me. I ordered 36 cans, now have 34 left...

8. OK, fine, you can email me
Bozeman is a long way from where I am, but global warming has decimated Western Mt. Our ski area has not been open for two years and no snow. 20 years ago we had 30 below zero and snow from Oct through June, 10-30 feet, now there is nothing. Sad, so very sad.

9. I know... Mt. seems to be one area where the climate
change is reeeaally showing up (noticeable elsewhere, but Montana just makes you scratch your head and worry). My friend is a ski instructor in the winters (weekends only); one of the reasons she moved there (from Park City) was for skiing and now there's so very little of it.

I'll email you if the cats wear me down. Thanks!

5. Get some of the old cheap food
and start mixing the new stuff with it. Gradually increase ration until it's all new stuff.
