I knew Mia had lost some weight but I never realized how much. The beginning of summer she weighed 12.1lb and as of tonight she is 9.8lbs. Shes lost a total of 2.3lbs in5 months.Before I got Mac (June 30th) she was eating Max Cat and did well on it. Then when Mac came I didnt have much money for kitten food too as he was totally unplanned. So I just bought Purina Kitten Chow for him (I know....but it was all I could afford as Im on permanant disability. Mia wouldnt eat her food anymore just Mac's so I went ahead and let her share his. This went on for a while then it suddenly didnt seem to set well on their tummies so I got Purina One Sensytive systems for them. They loved it and the upset tummies were gone. Mac is still eating it but I've noticed lately Mia is not at the bowl as often and where as they ate a total of 2 cups daily before only about 1 1/2 was being eaten now. I panicked when I saw her weight and ran to Dollar General and got some Friskies wet food (its the only thing around this little town. I split a 5.5 ounce can between the 2 but Mac ran back and forth between both plates. I couldnt stop him. I'm not sure how much she ate but she was at the plates as long as himand there is still about 1/4 of a can left and I KNOW Mac was being a piggy.
Obviously I need to find something different to get her to eat better sence she is loosing weight. I just dont know what is as inexpensive as possible but still a good quality. No grain free. When Mia was younger I tried a few different grain free foods and she had diareah. Then I put her on a food that had some grain and it cleared up right away. It needs to be kibble as its easier to afford. She does drink a good amount of water daily so I'm not worried about that.
Any suggestions would be great!
