Hahaha :D
Ermm... not really.. but those are some very unusual mouse torture techniques :p
Our countryside cats never ate the tail. Always starting from the head and leave tail in the grass.
We used to give Applaws too. Now she eats Carnilove and she likes them. No weird dandruff too.. so that's good.
I just googled Carnilove. It sounds good. And is cheaper than Applaws. I'll try with small package to see weather she likes it.
We tried all kinds of food from those better ones. Some she simply refuses to eat, some she cant. This one seems good :)
Good luck with your kitty.
Yes, I know how it is. I spent a lot of money till I found what she likes, and what has quality ingredients. With wet food I had more problems, and at the end I gave up. Now I buy her something of wet food only once a month.
