The State of the Cat

Time for another Talisker update.

A couple of months ago, when I took Talisker (unnecessarily) to the vet, I realised I wasn't feeding him as much as I should, by maybe 20%. The vet also said I should feed him some wet food.

So I changed his diet and his feeding regime, giving him a third wet food (one pouch) in the morning and dry food twice a day (in the afternoon and very early in the morning).

This has had many effects.

He stopped being a cat that ate everything in front of him immediately and has become a grazer - and quite often there is food left over (partly because he seems to be much fussier about wet food, preferring some sorts more than others, and partly because he sometimes leaves some dry food as well, which goes back into the bowl for his next meal).

This means he is generally still eating less than recommended, though he has probably put on a bit of weight, too. Not too much, though.

He has also become less demanding - since there is usually food there.

That said, he still wakes me up to show him where the food is, and now demands getting his wet food when I get up...

And here is the obligatory Talisker photo...
