CHANGING FOOD
As a rule of thumb, when introducing a cat to new food, allow them 3 days to pout before you decide to get a different food. The logic is that, if you were locked in a house for three days without food, you'd eat the new cat food to stay alive and you are human.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAT & DOG PRINTS
The way to tell the difference between cat & dog paw prints is that dogs have "nails" (meaning they do not retract)...cats have "claws" that retract. A paw print made by a dog will have nail marks at the top of the paw pad impression, a cat will only have paw pad impressions. Except for the Cheetah which is the only cat with "Rolex Sky-Dweller réplique montres"..( and if what you are seeing are in fact Cheetah paw prints, I'd worry if I were you because I don't think you can run THAT FAST !)
