he doesn't smell like dog so i'm gonna stick with the "he's a cat" theory. plus, he's got slitted pupils. that's what nudged me in the cat direction.
i can't be mean :( the other day my mom gave me this really cheap cat food... i felt bad not accepting it so i had it there for a while... one day i decided to give samsonite some of it, just to get rid of it... he didn't eat all day. ALL DAY. this from a cat that seems to have a 10 gallon stomach. i refused to give him anything until he ate what was in his bowl. it was a showdown. who was going to relent first? it was me. i gave him some of the food he likes around about 2am. i didn't want him fainting on me. yes, he won.
Good choice on the wet food. A dry food only diet leads to too much purines in the blood, which leads to uric acid crystals in the urine, which leads to kidney failure, which leads to peeing on everything you own. So, you feed some good quality wet food (I'm partial to Wellness and Nutro Max because they don't have the crapola that the cheap brands have. Feed em good now and avoid humongous vet bills later. And peeing everywhere.
And, one of our four cats has the same behaviors you mention, except it isn't the paws, he wants skritches at the base of his tail, which produces elevator butt. I swear that boy would eat a whole turkey if we let him, and he never gets fat.
thanks for the heads up on the moist food, i'll look into it.. i just had a few cans of iams in the house that i used to feed the stray cat that hangs out near my aunts house. i really hope that's all it is cause jeezus, he'll sit there and drink for a whole 2 minutes straight.
oh he wants skritches, tummy rubs, paw massages, you name it. he's a cat whore. i'm just amazed that he'll sit there and watch tv for 30 minutes at a time. that and he watches me use the computer. he likes to see the pointer go across the screen. - yeah, he's not the sharpest tack.
oh dave, i can hear her advice right now "it's because you don't give him tortillas, you need to eat tortillas to get full". mexican.
i don't know what in and out burger is. you mentioned it before right? is it that place with that giant 25 patty burger or the place that has 3 items on their menu?
YES YES YES!!! It has both!!!!!!!! ANDDDDD the burgers are super yummy!!!!! They own their own COWS!!! If you want I will buy a burger for you when I am there and totally mail it to you! If I mail it in Arizona I bet it will get there super quick!
So you need tortillas to get full? Well, I just bought some tortillas. What is the best brand? I bought mission. I was thinking I would make some burritos. I bought a big can of refried beans, a can of diced tomatoes with peppers, onions, pork, and green taco sauce.
i'm not sure which brand, i never buy tortillas :( i make them dave, i make them. and if i do buy them, it's usually from some mom and pop shop that makes and sells barbacoa or some other disgusting mexican food that i like.
green taco sauce??? GREEN TACO SAUCE?!?! oh the humanity. :) i love green chili but the really really hot kind.
if you are feeding him crappy filler food he will actually poop a load more.. if your not doing like iams or something better perhaps try that.. cats now adays since wet food is healthier than it used to be are allowed it but def dry food should be his main..
i've been reading up on it a bit and like an0penletterto said, most people think it's best to give mostly canned food.. went against everything i thought too... i think i'll give him canned food and dry food on occasions because he really likes the dried food for some weird reason :)

You train a pet or you let it train you. Looks like you've picked one.
And of course it uses the box a lot. All that food and water has to go somewhere. Only so much can go into making more head.
