Where do you live? I have no problem finding canned tuna in olive oil in
my area (Philadelphia). In fact, I have a cat at work which will
probably be lunch tomorrow.

LOL!
That's the way I read that too! ;-D

I'm sure he meant "invited to lunch" and he plans
to feed it tuna, but it sure was written funny!

I buy the cheap tuna in oil for my older kitties to encourage them to
eat more calories. The geriatric cats always seem to get really thin
before they die, even with regular vet care. :-(

Orchid will probably not be with us much longer. <sigh>
And I can't get her to eat the prescription food that would really help
her!

Rellies had an elderly cat some time ago that caught a serious case of
"cat cold" and wouldn't eat. Vet pointed out cats won't eat what they
can't smell; so for the best part of a week she dined on excellent
fresh prawns [shrimps] at about $20/kg. :):):)


Cheers, Phred.

Very true...
My vet has sold me a decongestant pill with an appetite stimulant for
kitties in that condition that works very well!
