Fussy Eater
Haiku has become a fussy eater. She has always preferred dry food to canned food, but even that does not appeal to her any more. Because neither she nor Taki ate canned food yesterday morning, I did not put out any last evening. Haiku wanted me to get up about 4 AM but I did not, and I do not know what she wanted, but I should have arisen, and checked. So, when I did get up this morning, Haiku did not want canned food, or dried food, but she did take treats. I left a second dish of treats on the kitchen counter. Taki can jump up there, but rarely does. Haiku easily jumps onto the counter, and does to check out anything that interests her, including the other day when I was cutting celery leaves off the celery stalks, or I had shrimp thawing for shrimp cocktail. She did not eat the treats during the day, and turned her nose up at it tonight. She later ate some freshly put out treats. She did not want the canned food I put out tonight that she has eaten just a few days ago, the last time I put it out. Taki ate some. Haiku at first did not want the kidney care food, but finally ate a little. She did finally eat a different flavor of canned food. I hate that she has become so picky. I am going to try to call the vet tomorrow after work, and see if they have any other kind of kidney care food we can try. I think she gets bored. Always before, I have varied her foods and she has liked that. In the last year and few months, she has been on the same food, over and over, and has "gone off feed" for a meal or two. I do not blame her for getting bored. But with her weight loss over the last year, I do not want that to be common.
