Hey guys I just wanted to update you all on Mew's progress. It's been a super long journey trying to get this cat to eat wet food that is grain-free and good quality. I've tried about 7-8 different brands and ALL of them were rejected instantly. I know it's my fault since for 7 years of his life, I let him eat junk food every day like Meow Mix and Fancy Feast since I didn't know how bad it was Half a year later of research and a lot of money spend trying to find something Mew would eat, I finally found some brands he would eat! It is such a relief to have a nice rotation set up for him and to actually see him cleaning his bowl instead of taking one sniff and walking away ! I tried Thrive Complete from a recommendation of a member here and Mew loved it instanly! I also bought the Bozita TerraPaks and Applaws Pate to try. Mew really hates Pate foods, but I thought I would try Applaws Pate since he loves Applaws. He enjoyed the Applaws Pate which is amazing since I've never seen him eat so much of a Pate food on his own! I gave him Bozita Skin and hair today and he absolutely went crazy for it He really loves the Chunks.
So in my rotation, I got Thrive Complete, Bozita TerraPak, and Applaws Pate. Thrive Complete is a little pricey, so I feed him one can of it in the evening and Bozita or Applaws in the morning. I also leave out Applaws dry food for him to eat all day which he absolutely loves. I know a lot of people discourage dry food, but I don't think a little of it will harm him, especially when he his diet mostly consist of wet food He loves his kibble and is pretty addicted to it. He will try to starve himself if there is no dry food available. I figure it's hard for him to adjust without it since he is 8 years old and he's had it most of his life. I know it's more difficult for older cats to adjust to new changes. But I'm just happy he's happy and mostly importantly, he's actually eating all the wet food I put down at each meal ! I haven't seen him eat everything in his bowl since he was eating Meow Mix and Fancy Feast. So I'm extremely happy and I don't mind if he has a little kibble. So much stress has been relieved to have foods he actualy enjoys
