Hi, sorry this is my first post. I'm posting it on different forums to see what advice I get!
We have amber a small asian/burmese cat, and he's about 10 years old. He's always been slight but I can feel his ribs and kind of his hip bones, I don't know his exact weight cos he wont register on our human scales. He was fed crap wet food for most of his life, but after we got our Great Dane we researched canine nutrition in dog foods and all the crap that goes in and it goes hand in hand with cat food. we learned a bit more about the ingredients used etc and switched him to almo nature wet food and science diet dry food(not the best but he eats it thats a start!!) as I read it was good for them to get a little bit of both dry & wet. He is SUCH a picky eater, he gets sick of the same thing in like a week and he hardly eats anything, he seemed to like almo at first but he only picks at it now. I'm desperate! I really want him to gain weight.. He's regularly wormed and he's getting on in age, I don't wan't him to be skinny and old cos if he gets sick it won't help.. We now feed our great dane on raw but to be honest I can't see it happening for amber. He might like it for like a week... and stop eating. Argh!
