I bet no one has as picky of a cat was we have! Tigger has been driving us crazy lately with her incessant meowing! It is all because she loves to go outside at night time and prowl around and then she always comes back in in the morning and sleeps her day away. Well, it's been so cold for nearly a month that she can't go out. I've opened the door for her several times and she gets all "blinky"... she blinks really fast, her fur gets blown back out of her face and her body language reads "nope, not yet!". Tony said she went out for him and she walked 10 steps away and then turned around and sprinted back inside. The poor thing.. Poor us! So, I've been feeling sorry for her and I bought her some cat treats. May be once a year we get her some so they really are "treats". Well, she turned her nose up and walked away! We've tried several times and she just won't eat them... they're tuna fish... something every cat should eat. She's so finicky. So, I've tried babying her a little and giving her milk on a plate. The plate has to be clean (not one we just used).. the milk has to be fresh (not from the open cup that sat in the refrigerator overnight). So, you can see I'm really trying to please her, and get the meowing to stop! Today I bought her 2 kinds of treats. The first one she gave me the "are you kidding?" look. The 2nd one, a chicken one, she finally ate. Whew! OK, at least she was quiet while she was eating it. Anyway, just thought there might be a cat owner reading who understands the effect of cabin fever on cats and have sympathy on us. I've made her take time-outs in the garage but the kids think I'm mean. I just want the meowing to stop....
