Preferred foods…

Basenji Talk
  • Kananga is not normally a Basenji that is motivated by food. I know he loves fresh cooked chicken and yogurt, but last night I had a good laugh…

    I had made some alfredo sauce w/ pasta. I went to sit down and eat it, and Kananga was staring right at me from about 2 feet away and "licking the air". I've never seen him do this before around food. He must really like the scent of this sauce. He thought he could eat it all from a couple feet away. Such a silly boy. I did give him a chance to lick the bowl after I was finished. Just for a few moments but he was happy. He gets table scraps every blue moon because he's so picky. :D

    I only do that because he's polite and doesn't try to jump up. He sits there like a good boy.

  • That was sweet that you let him have a little being polite and not jumping has its rewards.

    Agree with all above - you also might like to try mixing a teaspoon of sardine/tuna with a little water and spreading it over the food. Good luck!

    One of my pups, Crystal is the ultimate garbage gut… and will dive in any bush for that "thrown away" KFC chicken bone... sigh.. Poor Ann is forever grabbing for what is in her mouth... especially when around any place that is doing construction... one day it was an entire slice of pizza....

    Neither of mine will catch food, it hits them in the face and falls to the floor too. They're both pretty good at catching toys when I tell them to but do get bored with that game rather qiuckly.

    @wizard: I forgot to mention that my previous basenji loved to eat rabbits that he caught and muskrats. (I did my best to get those away from him) Oh. ew. We have found one or two squirrel carcasses in the yard over time, but I'm not sure who's killing them. Gypsy has in her youth, but I'm not sure she has the eyesight or speed for that anymore, so it's probably one of the Basenjis. Grosses me out! I know they'd both like to make lunch out of my cats.
