it’s hard to change noa’s diet!!

that was about two week ago..

noa & ash: gimme gimme gimme!!

noa: oh i’m starving! hurry hurry!!

maman: soon noa, i’m mixing food for you!

(she could not stand the smell of the raw food ,

even her dish had a super small amounts of the raw food into the wet food,

she could not eat it at all .. so this time, i didn’t put any of raw meat,

but using the spoon, which i crushed the raw meat for ash’s dish, to cut noa’s wet food.. )

still..

too much for noa..

ash: hey! what’s wrong with ya?!

noa: you know.. i’m a vegetarian… just no meat for me…

you see.. it was very hard for me to watch noa refused to touch her dish for days.

according to cat nutrition.org

“It’s not safe to let an overweight cat go longer than 24 hours without food.

Hepatic lipidosis becomes a serious concern

once an overweight cat has gone without food for 48 hours.”

i mean.. noa is not so overweight cat.., but i shouldn’t take any risk

when i want her to be a healthy cat! so i always served another wet food for her.

but this time… i used a clean spoon to feed her and she ate it

ash: no offense..but noa is a spoiled brat…

maman:

maman: look she eats herself now!!

ash: good girl!!

noa: yeah! i’m the best !

maman: whewwww…

since the small steps, noa started to eat very small amounts of the raw food by herself.

i’ve been slowly increasing the amounts each time. her transition is not completed yet,

but i know she can do it like ash did it

also we switched to chicken meat to rabbit meat,

both ash and noa seemed like rabbit better

ah! ash still scrached her eyes!!

ash: what? i didn’t do anything bad!!

maman: i know, i just want to check your eyes..

i guess these red ones were maybe caused by dry foods which she ate last night..??

it’s not that bad, hmm.. i should stop feeding dry food..

homemade cat food and raw food diet!

meow it’s getting cool in here!

we got a call from the vet last week, and all results were negative..!

that means, ash had allergies, probably food allergies, because soon after we’ve fed

the low-allergy foods to her, she’s slowly stopped to scratch her face.

after research of raw and homemade cat food diet, (i still need more to learn about it,

and if you have any good recipes of homemade cat food,

or good fresh quality meat markets in Manhattan, please let me know !! meow!!)

these are a few of foods that i’ve served to noa & ash.

this is boiled chicken and broccoli

noa & ash: gimme gimme!!

noa: ew!

ash: something new.. hmm.. i still can eat!

maman: try it, noa! you must love this chicken, i cooked for you!!

noa: mm… if you said so.. maybe i can have a few bite..

ash: yum yum (she’s my kitten!)

i’m still afraid to give them raw meats, there is no fresh meat store around our neighbor,

and i’m not sure if it’s okay to serve a packed meat from markets.

we found this “Natures Variety Raw Frozen Diets”

noa & ash had never ate raw meats before, they need to transition slowly..

i’ve mixed small amounts of it into their fav wet foods.

noa & ash: WET FOOD yes! yes! YES!!

noa: what’s this smell?! AWFUL!!

maman: can’t you eat this ? this is your no.1 wet food! right ??

noa: nah, this is not my wet food, i don’t belive you, give me other one !!

ash: hm… i still can eat this, too.

so… as you see.. ash is more open to new food diet than noa.

it’s good, because ash is the one who had food allergies,

for noa, i’ll give her verRRRy slowly transition then..

she’s so stubborn

it’s a long way to get lid of dry food addicts!

annual vaccination

we took noa & ash to annual vaccination last weekend.

they did Feline Distemper respiratory 4 in 1. it’s only $49 each.

if you want to check their website and schedule to visit your neighbor,

click here, http://www.vmprx.com/.

i described the vet about ash’s symptom then he believed that

ash’s itchiness was from food allergies.

i also told him about they are in the middle of transtion to new homemade food

and raw food diet, and asked if there is anything for them to make transition easier.

then he recommended us to add Rec Doxsee Clam Juice.

i’ll get is soon, and let you know what happens!

noa: EWW!!

noa hated it..

ash loved it so much, she ate noa’s dish, too

since the doctor’s prescription foods are gone,
