Got some plain yogurt from the Meijer last night; of course they only had the McLargeHuge size, so that's what I bought. Thankfully it was cheap at about 2 bucks for the McLargeHuge container of the stuff. Stir it up well, dish out a couple of tablespoons of it into Lars' gushy fud bowl and present it to The Prince...
...and he licks at it like three times, rejects it and walks away! :/ Mkay. I try a taste of it. Okay, it does taste kinda flat and gross. Perhaps if I doctor it a bit with some of the handy dandy bottle of clam juice I've got. A few more sniffs, a few more licks, then rejection and walking away.
Harlow, on the other hand? He LOVES both versions of the stuff--plain or doctored with juice, he's totally down with the yogurt. Figures, right? ;) That knowledge could come in handy if he ever encounters any tummy troubles, LOL.
So...
I had one unopened jar of chicken baby food left over, so I dished out about two tablespoons of that and mixed in 1/8 of a teaspoon of benefiber very well into that to see if Lars would deign eat same with that tiny amount of benefiber added to it. At first he was reluctant to eat it, but grew more enthusiastic after he got going and he finished the portion, licking the bowl clean as a whistle! So at least I might have that trick up my sleeve...
Another trick I'm contemplating trying in the dairy department is vanilla ice cream. I've yet to meet a kitteh in my life who did NOT enjoy a bit of vanilla ice cream. Every single cat I grew up with loved the stuff, as did every cat that owned me that came before the cats that own me currently. So I'm hoping the trend continues with Lars! That, and if he doesn't like it at least J and I can enjoy some vanilla ice cream, LOL.
Sweet Bast, this whole special food thing with Lars is SO VEXING!!! :( But hey--He's my Special Snowflake, my Floofy Floofy Little Prince, LOL. I expect nothing less from His Royal Highness... ;)
