Over in America, pet food has been subject to a fair amount of variability lately. It's gotten to the point that I just drive down the highway I live by every couple weeks and hit up every Target along the way to find the wet food my mom's cats like (they're picky eaters). So far, I've been able to get enough every time with just three Targets, but there are plenty of others I could hit up if needed. The town she lives in has one Target, two Walmarts, one Petsmart, and they've all been out of stock for over a month.

Never thought I'd be supplying my mom with cat food, but here we are.

I am glad that we have pets and that we take such good care of them. That said, it is very amazing to me that even our animals have food preferences.

Part of it is that my mom basically fed them their favorite wet foods, and cats can eventually "develop finicky eating habits and become very selective about what foods they’ll accept" [0].
