Well , my cats are finally eating  100%  can/wet diet ..  They got their Fancy Feast and very happy about it .  

I am just happy they are eating well ..   I give each   3 cans  per day (morning , noon , night ..)

 They don't always finish but I want to make sure I am feeding them enough .

My  cats are not Pate eaters  , nor are they Rotation eaters . I found this out the hard way . A  lot of wasted money  & food ..

I  will stick with the Fancy Feast unless I  find something else they might like then  I will move up the scale ...

For now , they are happy so  Mommy is happy View media item 227572

Congrats. It can be hard to get kitties off that addictive dry kibble. So much healthier, but you may want to start brushing their teeth if you don't already. Plaque build up is common on wet diet.

Thank you very much ..  I think they are loving the wet food .

Oh lord , they would  NEVER  let me brush their teeth . They are both psycho about that .. 

I  do give them Dental Greenies several times a day  so that will have to be good enough ..

I guess teeth brushing has to start early. Frida loves it. Lil weirdo. I think the kitty toothpaste must be tasty

I am so glad you got your kitties completely switched over.  One thing that helps with tartar buildup for kitties is called Plaqueoff for cats.  I had always thought that all of those types of products are a waste of money but this one has helped kitties with stomatitis.   It is thought that stomatitis is an autoimmune reaction to plaque on teeth.  http://stomatitisincats.com/review-of-plaqueoff-for-cats    

It's actually a European product but it is available on Amazon.

Yay!

Most indoor neutered adult cats of regular size will only need about 6 ounces of Fancy Feast a day. . .you could try cutting back once you're confident they're eating enough. or just split one can between them for one meal (lunch maybe; most kitties don't seem to have so much of an appetite in the middle of the day) instead of a whole can. Just in case you get tired of buying/opening so many cans! :D

Thank you so very much ..  Yes  , I  will do t  that ..   My boy is 17 lbs so I want to make sure he is getting enough to eat ..  Thankfully he will stop when he is full so that helps a lot .. 

The little girl is only 9 lbs  so she is not a big eater anyway . Maybe  1 1/2  cans per day .. They are doing really well ..

The brand is Nylabone and it is just called pet toothpaste. My vet told me even just letting them lick a little off your finger is better than nothing.
