\nWe supplement Nysse’s dry food with tuna, and occasionally with fancy wet food from little plastic sachets. He eats all of it with gusto – I’m not even sure if he has any preferences.<\/p>\n

The best thing about the dry food is how easy it is to handle. We have a plastic container in the pantry which we occasionally top up from a 10 kg bag in the basement. When it’s time to feed Nysse, we just scoop up a reasonable-seeming amount into his bowl. No fuss, no mess. The least good thing about the dry food is its smell.<\/p>\n

The best thing about the tuna is that it feels, psychologically, like real cat food. Cats did not evolve to eat dry pellets. It’s a bit messier because of all the cans, and because Nysse doesn’t eat an entire can in a single meal so the rest has to be refrigerated.<\/p>\n

The best thing about the fancy wet food is that it looks and smells like actual food. The worst thing about it is the sachets. It’s really hard to get the food out, and despite all my squeezing, I can always feel lumps of food still in there. The lumps are the meatiest parts, so throwing those away feels like such a waste. I’ve ended up cutting the sachets open all the way around and “serving” them to Nysse on his little place mat. Once we run out of these, I might look for something more user-friendly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
