We are taking the little kitty to the vet tomorrow for his first checkup. What I want to know is . . what is the best thing to be feeding him right now? Mom picked up something called 'science diet' canned food and we've been giving him/her/it some of that with formula and a little straight water. He tried to nibble on kitten dry food on the side but almost choked on it, so we're keeping it away from him for now.
Should we keep feeding him canned science diet? Is there a better brand? Should we just soak the dry food in formula so it's soft enough to eat? Smash it into little pieces so he won't choke? The kitty loves the gooshyfood (canned) and it seems easy for it to eat, so I'm guessing that's what we should be feeding it for now, but it would be nice to have some advice. I'll be asking the vet, too, but don't want to just hear an advertisement for whatever brand the vet might be selling.
Assuming we keep it on the gooshy, how soon should we introduce the dry? Should we break it up and mix it with the gooshyfood? is there some better method? etc. etc. . .
Thanks in advance for putting up with my newb-ness, just want to find the best way to take care of this little guy. Or girl, as the case may be.
