I have posted before about trying to transition Brandon my male cat over to wet food completely. It has not worked. The only wet food he will eat is fish, no matter how I disguise it. He hates it. In the fall the vet said he needed to loose a couple of pounds. He weighed 16.4 pounds and she wants him to be around 14 pounds. I suggested to the vet trying to switch him to wet and she agreed although she had no problem with his having canned fish all the time. That bothers me, which brings me to you again for your opinions. I am concerned about his weight and also want to prevent crystals developing in his urine (I've seen many posts in this forum recently and it scares me). I am presently feeding Brandon: 3/4 -1 cup daily of Innova Evo Dry daily which has 0.10% magnesium and 9.93% ash. He also eats maybe 3-4 tbsp daily of Natural Balance Tuna with Shrimp canned which containes 0.025% magnesium. I feed both of my cats twice a day. My questions are:
1. Should I stop the Tuna Shrimp canned and feed only Evo dry? Is this enough fish to hurt him?
2. Am I feeding him too much? He literally devours what I give him and never seems full. I noticed on another thread that some of you are feeding a lot less dry food than I am. Thank you!
