Hehe I'd use other words but this one did come out of the blue didnt it?

No answers really 'fit' as this one isnt a sort of one answer sort of thing.
I regularily augment my beloved 4foots with home cooked meals (just like you
do). A bit ago, I got caught low on wet food (not due to lack of money,
just hadnt noticed was low) so they got my pork loin and I ate some canned
soup ;-)

I'm still re-training my cat to take to wet food as it's better for her and
she's doing well, but it's important to keep to a regular schedule of wet
for that to happen. She gets wet or fresh cooked meats every morning and
night, and Cash (dog) gets dry in morning and a mix of dry/wet at night.
They often get a lunch treat of dashi with fish added or chicken broth with
a little chicken added.

(Dashi for those who are not familiar with it is a fish stock and my vet
highly approves of it for getting added water into the cat to prevent
problems).

I'm still experimenting on what they like best. Cash-pup will eat
*anything* (beagle mix) but likes best to have pulled pork before the sauce
is added. Daisy-the-cat loves (you guessed it) seafood and a dibble of
roasted sesame oil. She's also particular that the olive oil (good for her
coat) be a first pressed one vice my normal Bertoli which I use in cooking.
She doesnt mind bertoli, but she's kinda like 'oh, that stuff again' vice
'oh! She used the good stuff! Gimmie more!!!!!!'

Daisy likes red wine vinegar in small amounts in her water (wards off fleas,
just a few drops) and will not touch basalmic vinegar. Cash is so-so about
the basalmic and wont touch the red wine vinegar but is quite partial to
sushi types and sukim Maasim (a spiced sort).

Daisy and Cash are both rescue animals and we are having a ball with them.
He was badly underweight when we got him (35 lbs vice his right weight of
55, mix is beagle and presumed bull mastiff which in his case is a large
beagle look). Daisy was overweight for her frame at almost 12 lbs but she's
trimming down nicely and is at 10 now, perfect for her is probably 9 or 8.5.

Yeah, I'd go hungry before I let them starve. They already get our food, so
if was out of that I'd eat theirs if it was cheaper. Last resort, I'd find
them a good home.
