That's so funny that your cat wants the shrimpy- a- day. We always thought it unusual for our Sheba to be so insistent. Must be something unique in the shrimp. She did lose alot of weight when we started that shrimpy-a-day treat.

We did this for Sheba for YEARS. I would get the frozen, and give her two thawed (the 50-60 size), each afternoon, around 3-4pm. Then all of a sudden she refused them! I tasted them, and they tasted rubbery...so I bought another, and same thing. So we stopped them. She is eating less and less as she ages anyway. Her skin hangs almost to the floor! If she runs fast (like when a MAN comes in the house to fix something)...her boobies/lion belly flaps and it is hard not to laugh at her.

The vet said she had grade 4 cardiomyopathy years ago and its been 6yr past her estimate of death. I am feeding her now a new formula of IAMs dry that has acetyl carnitine added. I think this is helping her move around. I found it at the new super WalMart on vacation in Sault Ste Marie . So she is still going strong. Sometimes I wonder how accurate Vets are...sort of like human doctors...
