    I haven't seen the 'raccoon test' mentioned in their ads ... I wonder
    why ?

    I see their ads, I think on Netflix, with dogs. I get a chuckle but then dogs like to roll in shit. Blue has had recalls and isn't spoken of too highly. I didn't do any prior research, saw it at CostCo, and thought the cats might like a switch from Friskies. No go.

    Maybe they don't like propylene glycol.

    My remaining old cat has gotten really finicky lately. It's gotta
    be Sheba with turkey chunks.

    When he gets hungry, he has an annoying meow. I made a
    notification sound of it for my phone.

    To get your attention, he finds objects to claw at, rug corners to
    flip up and down ("flop... flop... flop"), and things like TV
    remotes to knock to the floor. In bed, he comes up to your ear
    canal and starts licking, sometimes puncturing nose or arm with
    his claw.

    The cat is an asshole.

    At least he hasn't knocked the TV over yet.

    You're lucky. Our cat (RIP) did that, and totaled it. One thing you can
    say for CRTs is that cats couldn't knock them down.
