susandennisBetty has always been serious about her food. She's the first to stand her and start staring at me a good hour before her dinner time. She'll push Travis out of the way if he has more food in his bowl than she does and he moves away without any argument at all.
She is all fur. Under all that fur, she really is skin and bones. Always has been.
They nearly always have dry food available to nibble on. Every night at 5, I split a 3 oz can of stuff between them.
Tonight, after she cleaned her bowl (and Travis'), she was on the counter, licking the can clean. So I pulled out another can and divided it between their two bowls. Travis sniffed his and went to take a nap. Betty chowed down.
When I went back in a bit both of those bowls were clean again!
She very nearly ate her weight tonight. Wow. I'm ordered lots more from Amazon. Maybe we can get some meat between those bones and that skin!
