Time to go cat food and kitty litter shopping

It's time to go to Petsmart to stock up on food for my babies. They both like Fancy Feast the best, so I generally buy five or six cases of food at a time, so that they have a large variety of favorities. Just like people, they like certain flavors better than others, and also hav preferences as to texture. Sweetie likes the traditional ground cat food, which is finer and easier to eat. TC on the other hand likes the "grilled" variety, which is shredded or chunky in texture, and needs to be "smushed" up by me with a fork before he eats it. I've found that they like a variety of flavors, although beef, turkey and liver are generally their favorites. Both like some fish flavored food, but generally not salmon or tuna. I feed them a variety of flavors each day, so if they don't like one food for breakfast, at least later in the day, they will have a choice of another flavor.

As for dry food, they prefer Royal Canin or Purina One(Salmon and Tuna) or (Sensitive Formula). Don't ask me why they like the fish-flavored dry food, but don't care for the same in canned food flavor.

I also have to buy kitty litter, which they seem to prefer the unscented formulas and clumping litter. I scoop out their litter boxes at least twice a day. My babies are so used to clean litter boxes, sometimes they will wait for me to scoop the box, and then go immediately to use them. I've tried most every kind of litter out there - such as the pine, newspaper, wheat etc. They prefer just regular unscented clumping litter. Even though I have no-track mats by the litter boxes, litter still gets tracked around, but it really isn't that big of deal, as long as you sweep it up.

For a treat, I recommend Feline "Greenies". Sweetie loves them, although TC doesn't know how to eat a treat. Be careful though, and don't feed them too many greenies at one time. If you follow the directions on the back of the bag, you should be fine.

I'm going to buy more cases of food during this trip, as I'm going on vacation Saturday, and want my babysitter (my ex-husband) to have numerous choices for the babies. I'm very lucky that the babies' daddy (my ex-husband) lives in the next building and enjoys coming over to see them. He will generally stay for two to three hours at a time to give them each a chance to get some attention, "lap time", petting and cuddling. Since I know that they will be well taken care of while I'm gone, it makes my vacation much more enjoyable. I couldn't bear to see my babies in a kennel, while I'm away, as TC would most likely refuse to eat, and would not be happy. He only trusts a very few people, but still wants to be petted while he eats.

That's it for today. Petsmart is always happy to see me, although they always ask me how many cats I have when I buy six to nine cases of food at a time. I'm probably one of their best customers.
