    Font - Tom Nichols ... @RadioFreeTom My wise wife just noted that the cat food shortage in the grocery stores is not actually a shortage of cat food, but a shortage of the food *cats happen to like", which is not only the most cat thing ever, but the very definition of a First World Problem.

    Wow, wiser words have never been spoke. Well, to be honest they probably have been, but still, we find this kernel of wisdom on the interwebz to be pretty heckin illuminating. Cats are such sweet yet finicky creatures, especially older ones who are set in their ways.

    Font - cai @AnneNotation Replying to @RadioFreeTom My cat recently went through one of his inexplicably fussy phases. And his reward was 1 pound of Kirkland signature smoked salmon.

    What a terrific reward for continued bad behavior. It truly is impossible to discipline a cat, we would know, but thankfully we have each other (well, our fellow cat owners) to lean on for support when the store is sold out of Fluffy's favorite brand of cat food.

    Font - Маx @аохaтахоа Replying to @RadioFreeTom truly incredible how cats decide "this is the food I eat" and even the slightest attempt to deviate means they'll refuse to touch it. An woe be the cat owner who has to change their food and spends a week trying new options

    Font - Маx @аохатахоа Replying to @rpidrivestick and @RadioFreeTom We have 3 cats and have had spells where 1 of them gets sick once and we have to re-introduce them to their food, and times when we had to change it completely and it was a bunch of "I'm going to devour this and then refuse to eat it ever again"

    Cat - Dawnmsh @Dawnmsh Replying to @aoxamaxoa and @RadioFreeTom My cat wants a variety, and there has to be something she will reject. If I eliminate the flavor she doesn't like, she will just start disliking one she previously liked.

    Font - Julie Stanton @Seamuskitty Replying to @RadioFreeTom I am attempting to control what my cat eats by feeding her something different at every meal. And by feeding her whenever she asks for food. I think it's working. (No)

    Font - Susan Jo @sjabrahamson Replying to @RadioFreeTom Our cat *happens to like* mice and songbirds, but he gets processed food to save the natural world. Very first world.
