Fun Stuff > CHATTER
We love our pets!
Barmymoo:
Fish are mysterious, unfathomable creatures with no effective way of communicating their needs. Cats are a lot easier - they tell you, loudly, when something is up.

I made "duck soup" for my ferrets last night. Eleven cans of special cat food, eleven jars of all meat baby food, and a bunch of powdered whole eggs, shells and all. All of my furry children go nuts for this stuff. But the cats only get it as a rare treat - my two older boys are overweight, so they generally only get their dry food, plus some Greenies for teeth care. But I had to open eleven cans of cat food, so my cats went nuts. Percy would not shut up.
Method of Madness:
I've seen the movie (albeit a decade or so ago) but I don't get how that's "duck soup".
nekowafer:
According to the internet, its name comes from the first ferret that was fed such a mixture, her name was Lucky Duck. There is no duck involved in any of the ferret duck soup recipes.

I would say they're usually easier. Sometimes they are downright passive aggressive and don't tell you shit and it takes a couple weeks for you to notice that something is up. Also when they're really sick, they don't tell you, they just hide.
I'm kind of mad at my cat. We're pretty sure she just decided to stop eating because she didn't like some backup food that my bff gave her when we went out of town last month. Which is why she now has liver problems and we have to force feed her, which all parties involved hate.
However, our other cat is very keen on telling us whenever he wants something. Very loudly. He can and will find that spot where he can echo as loudly as he can.
