Hello. I have a cat that is soo picky that I have been trying to find a good canned food for. If anyone here has a very picky eater, please share what foods you got them to eat and how you got them to eat it.
I don't have a pet store near me so I have been ordering everything online. I ordered him a 12 pack of Felidae chicken & rice and he ate that really good so I ordered a 24 pack. When I got those the texture was different - not as runny - and he won't really eat it. Does anyone know if they changed their formula recently?
I don't want to give him any food with fish in it as his urinary trouble seems to act up.
Here are the canned foods I have tried:
1. Felidae chicken & rice - ate at first / won't now
2. Wellness (chicken, turkey) - will eat sometimes / not as good as did at first
3. Nature's Variety Prairie (lamb, duck, rabbit, chicken, chicken & turkey, venison) - won't eat
4. PetGuard (chicken stew lite) - won't eat
5. Nature's Recipe (julienne cuts chicken & gravy, julienne cuts lamb & gravy) - won't eat
6. Eagle Pack (duck & oatmeal, chicken & lamb, turkey & barley) - won't eat
7. Nutro gourmet classics pouches (chicken, beef, and a couple others I can't remember right now) - won't eat
8. Nutro cans (several different ones) - won't eat
9. Blue Spa Select (turkey & chicken) - won't eat
10. Natural Life (turkey & chicken, chicken, lamb) - won't eat
11. Newman's Own Organics (turkey & vegetable, and one other one I can't remember - I think chicken) - won't eat
12. Merricks (turducken, grammy's pot pie, thanksgiving day dinner) - ate at first but won't now
There may be a couple of others I have forgotten.
He has had some urinary problems the past few months, with crystals being found in his urine at one point (in May). He is currently on a prescription dry food - Science Diet C/D. I really wish I could find a good canned food that he will eat. He drinks a very small amount of water - some days he doesn't drink any (I know because I measure his water). I have tried a drinking fountain and placing different bowls in different areas - it is so frustrating.
Sorry this turned out to be a little long. Thanks in advance for any help.
