wet food diet...more bathing?!? is this normal?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
My poor little guy just went through a rough week of recovering from a catheter and very early stages of blockage. I recently changed him to an all wet food diet (with some sprinkles of dry food...since he was on an all dry diet before).

I noticed he grooms himself a lot more now.....he's not pulling out hair, but he tends to really bathe himself...is there a correlation? anyone else notice this behavior or know why he may be doing this?

If he was on medications and/or pain killers, this may be the cause of it. Of course, he may also be allergic to something in the new food. I noticed, though, after surgery or staying at the vet's for any reason, my cats tend to groom more to get the smell off them and to smell "normal" again.
