The photo above shows our cat Lucifer looking me in the eyes, questioning when will her special supper be served. You can se in the photo, she already has a bowl of kibbles there, and twice a day she gets wet canned cat food, but she is waiting for something with taste, that she can eat throughout the night.
We feed Lucy upstairs on my desk. That is the only place we can safely do it so that Kona doesn’t get to it and scarf down all Lucifer’s food. Right before bed, I am scrambling around downstairs in the kitchen, trying to come up and prepare some kind of special treat food for Lucifer. While I am doing that, she up on my desk waiting patiently at her feeding station, ready to be served.
Her special food is made up of something relatively fresh; like strips of cheese, little chunks of chicken or turkey left over from our meals, or maybe just a small puddle of milk or cream in a plate.
We readily admit to spoiling our pets, but a year or so ago, I was sure Lucifer was about to die. She was incredibly thin and urinating very frequently, making us think her kidneys were giving out. That’s when we started really spoiling her with the special food. While she is still incredibly thin, now she is more motivated, energetic, and healthy.
Looks like she is getting cheese strips tonight.
