The cat is not at all interested in eating rabbit. No amount of attempting to fool him has worked. I even tried pouring the juice off one of the cans of food he has been eating the last few weeks on it in hopes making it smell like something else would work. Nope. The cat isn’t stupid. He knows it’s still rabbit and he wants none of it.

I’m going to leave it out and hope that hunger makes him take a bite or two later. Unlike a kid, you can’t reason with or bribe a cat into trying a new food. They seem to make split second decisions on whether or not they are interested in it. I guess later I’ll try the venison, but he’s turned his nose up at venison before too. I’d really wanted him to have three days on the new food, but if he won’t eat it, he won’t eat it. He hasn’t been doing too badly on the Natural Balance, so it won’t kill him to eat it for the rest of the weekend, if necessary. I guess on Tuesday, I’ll be going to get some more duck. If they didn’t close at noon today, I’d get dressed, get Lin dressed and get us over there to get some today, but Lin is in total lazy mode this morning. I doubt I’ll be able to get him moving on anything until late afternoon. I really need to learn how to drive the truck.

Lin says the cat is eating better than we are. I have to agree. Hope Fuzza knows how good he’s got it! We’ve never even had duck!

Oh, and his mood is vastly improved today too. He’s been bouncing around, getting into things, and in general being the total pest we have always known and loved. Maybe later he’ll be in a good enough mood he’ll let me get at some more of that matted fur. I’d really like to give him a good brushing and a bath with his fancy shampoo (it makes him all fluffy and shiny).
