Plus this one time I was really, really late and came home to find that either or both of them had jumped up to the counter and on top of the refrigerator trying to get into the cabinet where their bag of dry food was being stored and EVERYTHING (no they did not manage to get into the bag) was all over the floor! *rolls eyes* (I started putting the bag in the upper cabinet because one or both figured out how to get to it in the bottom cabinet and chewed it open one night.)
*sigh*
So, if I try to go the route you suggested then I am already shaking My head thinking of the sleepless nights and stressful days of the 'poor starving kitties' routine... rather like bein married again, I must admit. *ducks* *laugh*
Our girls are litter mates - one got the looks and the other got the brains. The smart one plays fetch (she taught US), opens pocket doors with her paws, and has broken into the kitchen cabinet to help herself to the kibble. She managed to open a can with a plastic snap-on lid, which really surprised us. Her sister just eats, sleeps, cuddles, preens, and leads the charge to the dinner bowl.
Late last night I saw that the recall is moving into corn gluten now. It's not being recalled in the US (yet), but has been implicated in pet deaths in South Africa. That's 3 grain products adulterated with melamine now - wheat gluten, rice protein powder, and corn gluten. There was never a better time to start preparing our own pet food - even if imperfectly.
