I finally took my fat cat (Tulip) to the vet to get her checked out. The vet said she is overweight but otherwise seems healthy. We put her on a diet plan. I have another cat at home (Pansy) that is not overweight but I decided it would be easier if I transition them both to the new diet to make life easier. Life is not easier. I am having trouble getting them to eat much of the dry food. Pansy is suddenly being very picky and will only eat the wet food I used to give them and even then, only when I've opened a new can. And she doesn't eat it all so it goes in the fridge for next time but then she won't eat it if it's been in the fridge. It's frustrating and I'm wasting a lot of food.
Neither of them finish their dry food, they hardly eat any at all. I'm not sure if it's because they don't like it or not, but they whine that they're hungry. This diet isn't going to work if Tulip doesn't eat the entire amount that she's supposed to each day. Any suggestions?
Also, I've notice they've been pooping less. Especially Tulip. Could this be because the food I got from the vet has less fillers? Is it abnormal that she's only pooped a very small amount since Saturday (it's now Tuesday morning).
Thanks,
Kristi
