Right now Treasure is eating ~4.5 oz nutro wet blended with 2T pumpkin & 2T yogurt; about half a cup of red moon / nutro blend dry; and then 2 oz nutro kitten mixed with another tablespoon of yogurt. 

Fully grown she'll be between 8-12 pounds and she's almost 8 months old.

Hey WendyB
Good to see you!  I know you have special dietary requirements for Treasure due to her breed.  How is her weight doing on her current diet?  How much does she weigh now?  You can reply by PM if you want to or post here.  Love to hear about Treasure.  You should post some pics

Hey Mike! :wavey::wavey:

The dietary issues are more around the older kitty's CRF. But now I'm dealing with coccidia + antibiotics in both of them - thus the pumpkin and yogurt which they LOVE. Precious actually eats more when I blend the Max Cat with the pumpkin and yogurt and will beg for more :clap:

Treasure feels about 5 - 6 pounds. We go in Saturday for a check on the coccidia so I'll have a new weight. But it's cute - after the morning gorge (which is what it seems like when they have breakfast) she has a belly that is gone by noon.

I do have to say the difference in her coat now that she's on mostly max cat / max kitten wet is amazing. I've given up on separating the foods because Precious will eat the max kitten and Treasure will eat the max cat. See a problem? So long as it's nutrient dense I'm not terribly concerned and if Precious (CRF) will eat, more power to her.

LOL... Love the pics!  I see no problems in their diet.  The nutrients they are getting along with protein are the big issues.  Glad they are doing so well!!!

Hi Mike,

Treasure is up to 5 lbs 11.5 oz so she's getting to be a big girl.
