Sounds tasty. Never thought of adding liquid smoke to tuna. I do have
some on hand.

I bought the Tuna for Selene. She's not been feeling well and is on
antibiotics. Canned people Tuna is not the best food, but I'm trying to
get her to eat anything I can.

And it'll stimulate her appetite to eat some Hills A&D to try to get
some weight back on her.

She is a favored cat and I'm not looking forward to losing her. :-(
She's about 13.

She has an autoimmune issue that makes her mouth hurt and get infected
easily. The vet has had no luck in treating it.

The other thing she will sometimes eat is raw chicken livers. She's skin
and bones right now. It sucks.

I'm just trying to keep her alive as long as I can...
