Hello good people,
This forum has been a godsend since joining. My cat Max was close to the brink of death, and because of all the input and suggestions I got here, I was able to save his life. He's now on a lifetime diet of urinary health food. Which is a little depressing since, I get the feeling he doesn't enjoy the cat so much, and there are so few options.
He hated all the Hills brand recipes. But I've gotten him to eat the Royal Canin brand, both pate and giblets. He's been eating it steadily since May, but I can literally see how bored he is of it. He runs into the kitchen with his tail up, all happy. And then I put the cat food in his bowl, his head drops, his tail sinks, and he stares at it for like 10 mins before begrudgingly eating it.
When I asked my vet (who I'm not a big fan of, btw) for other ideas/brands, he told me about Purina's st/ox brand. Can anyone else recommend that brand? It's pretty expensive, so before I buy an entire case of it on a site like Petfooddirect.com, I'd rather have him sample it, but the vet didn't have any.
And besides Purina and Hills... are there ANY other options? I refuse to believe it comes down to just 3.
Thanks!
