Hi - I've heard such mixed things about nutrition, it is hard to sort it out! I have been feeding my Murray Purina One for Urinary Tract Health since he had a nasty UTI a couple years ago. He eats well, but doesn't seem to savor it. After hearing some not-too-complimentary things about Purina One on other cat forums, I asked my vet about it, and he said he was no fan of Purina One and recommended Royal Canin Urinary SO. So I ordered a bag and will try to switch Murray to it, if he likes it. I figured I might as well, since he could kind of take or leave the Purina One, anyway.
I have also, on the advice of posters at other cat forums, started adding some wet food into Murray's diet. He hadn't liked wet food in the past, but I had never tried Fancy Feast (which Simba, who lives with my parents, loves), and Murray likes the Fancy Feast. He only eats small amounts at a time, so I give him some every few hours. It has taken him a couple days to go through 2/3 to 3/4 of the small can. Slowly but surely... I think the wet food will give him a more balanced diet and help keep him hydrated. I realize that Fancy Feast might not be the best wet food available, but I figure I could always switch to something more "premium" later, after Murray has gotten into the wet-food habit.
I welcome advice from others! Thanks!
