| You missed the spot where I said the shrimps were treats. =P Personally, I see no difference in buying specific treats from pet shops/supermarkets or buying a bag of frozen pre-peeled shrimps for the purpose of giving to the animal when I feel like treating him. Except that at least with the shrimps I know they are fresh and don't come with any additives. Ditto for chicken. It's a treat, and usually tends to be leftover scraps from when I roast a whole chicken. Again, I prefer giving stuff that is suitable for human consumption as treats, for obvious reasons.
The mainstay of his diet is the Royal Canin Exigent 35/30, which is the only brand dry food he eats. Trust me, I've tried other brands, but when you see the food bowl go untouched for 5 days and with 3 different brands, I tend to think "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" and go back to the Royal Canin.
Yeah, the shower is extreme, and hence it's the ultimate, final punishment only to be used when all else fails. Had to use it only rarely, most notably to stop the cat from ruining the sofa, and later the surround stereo system. |
