I haven’t met a cat yet that doesn’t like Boston Market chicken – I used to trap cats with it, too. Mackerel is great too – the kind for people, not for cats.

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: Tanya's CRF Site
Yes, for one of my kits, I spread a thin layer of baby food on top of healthier food---just enough to get the smeller going. You can also crumble kibble on top of better food, or use other really smelly bribe foods as toppers, e.g., bonito flakes, tuna water, crushed dried tuna, nutritional yeast, etc. On Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 6:33 AM, GRAS wrote: > ** ** > > YES, not good at all, especially for CRF patients, however, sometimes they > won’t eat anything else, and something is better than nothing.
