Sakaura definitely has a case of
IRRITABLE BOWL SYNDROME
Symptoms:
The cat seems discontent with what is in the foodbowl. In multicat households this is manifested by cats going from one bowl to another in search of something more enticing. Afflicted cats may also follow the owner to cupboards and demand to investigate every opened can or packet in the hope of a better meal. In severe cases, cats show excessive interest when the owner opens a can of baked beans.
Treatment
An ever-changing selection of gourmet meals is the cat's preferred solution. This entails enrolment on cookery courses and animal nutrition courses. Alternatively, offer a buffet selection of both canned and dry kitty foods purchased in small
packages while advising it that its ancestors had to make do with nothing but mouse. Explain that Big Sid, the local feral with the appetite and table manners of a furry bulldozer, will be joining the cat at meal times. Most modern cats will opt for the buffet rather than risk losing it to Big Sid.
Snoopy, on the other hand, displays autistic behaviours. Not that all cats don't do this to some extent - she is just a bit over the edge. It is okay though. We know her routine and Don is getting to be very good at "reading her mind" so we can anticipate what she wants when she wants it. Don's son, Greg, is autistic - he and Snoopy would get along except Greg is as much afraid of cats as Snoopy is of strangers. Can't win!
