Yummy, Healthy Home Cooking for the Shih Tzu
The Kitten and the Tzu
One kitten was easy to feed, calmly taking the milk I offered. This little one was so black even his eyes were black so I called him Tar Baby. The other kitten was a different story.
Then one day as I was straightening up my living room I heard a smacking sound. When I found the source of the smacks I was shocked to see Bitsy and Hissy Fit in my favorite chair. The fact they were in my chair wasn't the shocker. The shocker was...Hissy was nursing on Bitsy!
There are also some really funny sides to this story. Since Bitsy the Tzu is raised with cats she prefers cat food over dog food. (Note from AllShihTzu – Cat food is higher in fat than dog food & it appears that Bitsy instinctively knows this & prefers to eat the higher fat diet that is needed to produce quality milk!). In fact she turns her nose up at dog food and refuses to eat it. She also sits on the back of the couch so she can look out the window like a cat would. And what about Hissy? Hissy refuses to use a litter box! She goes on paper just like a dog!! She even "whimpers" when Bitsy is out of her sight instead of meowing!
