Actually you do have a point about the little pellets that rolled around..that is what the old Hills for Senior looked like and as you said, she scarfed it down usually too quickly and then threw it back up whole a lot of the times.......but as you said she loved it....The new Hills is more triangle shaped and is a bit larger, she definitely has to work to chew it and can't swallow it whole so that may help slow her down in her eating too... -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Denise 's message, "Years ago I fed SD Lite. That was way back when Iams and SD were THEE premium foods. I hated the shape of the food, little pellets that rolled all over but the cats scarfed it, no one chewed it, just swallowed! Several threw it back up too! When I changed food it took forever to get them all to eat one food but found the Royal Canin Special. It's neat cause there are four kibble shapes (mine don't seem to like the disk shape). I fed that for 8 years but then wanted to cut carbs and the company was bought out and the new people added more grain anyway. I have no clue where I was going with all that, it's bedtime! LOL Glad she ate and hope whatever it was is over and you can stop worrying!" on 9:11:53 pm, Tue, 07/24/07

I took her late feeding upstairs last night and she ate it right up like there wasn't a problem in the world....then a little later I felt her jump up on the bed and settle in in her spot between my legs on my body pillow....so that was all the norm....
This morning she seemed fine...I decided to try to feed her downstairs, if she didn't come down fine, then I'd take it up to her, but she came right down and ate it up...and came back down for her second feeding...and she did use the litter box during the night...so maybe she was just under the weather and just plain hungry yesterday because she really didn't like the other food and got a little weak??

they sure do have a way of worrying us don't they?
Thanks everyone again, I appreciate all your help and concern....it sure does mean alot to be able to come here and talk to you all!!!!
for now I'm just going to keep an eye on her, but she really does seem to be ok.... (NT) -- Kate, 5:38:39 am, Wed, 07/25/07
Kate, I'm SO relieved that she's eating better and seemingly back to her old self. I came down to the basement this morning with the express purpose of checking on Maggie and also Jazpurr. (Denise, is Jazpurr doing any better???) But I see that everyone beat me to the board yet again and it's only 8:45 my time. I guess it's possible that Maggie just didn't care for the food or maybe she just had a bit of a tummy upset or was feeling under the weather. We have days when we're out of sorts and I guess our cats can have those days too. For now, I agree with you.........just watch her. But boy, it's good to hear that she's better.
