I am pleased to report that harmony reigns back in the Madcat household now both kittens have had their ops and recognise each other again.
Boy cat is a healthy eater BUT only fresh, tinned or sachets. He will chomp through giblets and tackle chicken wings etc (so it can't be his teeth) but refuses to even consider popping a kibble/biscuit in his mouth. He'll eat soft treats, but just wanders away from the biscuity ones.
Luckily I am home most of the day...usually...but there are going to be times when it would be so much easier to leave them with a bowl of food and kibble until the evening. He is a stubborn little lad.
Should I try softening the stuff in water? Should I gradually introduce a few pieces into a sachet of wet? We still have some tiny baby kitten kibble.
Any hints and tips gratefully received.
