So far so good on the new dry kitten food

When I picked up Sunny, she was eating some Walmart brand kitten food so I bought her Earthborn Holistic Primitive Feline Grain-Free Natural Dry Cat and kitten food to mix with it. When I'm done with the current batch which is a 50/50 mix I will give Sunny just Earthborn Holistic Primitive Feline Grain-Free Natural Dry Cat and kitten food. I went with Earthborn Holistic Primitive Feline Grain-Free Natural Dry Cat and Kitten because of the high amount of protein and fat it had which is perfect when your tiny kitten needs to put some meat on her bones.

My suggestion would  be to introduce can wet food to her as well now while she is just a kitten because it is actually better for cats than a kibble only diet. If you get your cat addicted to kibble when she is older she may not eat the can food. I have  two one year old kitties. the one I have had since she was 4 weeks old and the other since she was 6 months old so they were introduced to can wet food young and now at 1 year they devour can food. I have a third cat that was a year old when I got her and she turns her nose up at can food. She has had to go to the vet for a urinary tract infection which is often the case when cats are dehydrated. Cats do not typically drink enough water that is why can food is best. Now I am trying to figure out how to switch her to can food. So introduce it to Sunny now while she is a kitty you will be glad you did. You can still feed her kibble but give her a meal of wet food daily as well.

Thanks. I will get some and try it out Sunday. I won't try anything too strange, maybe a chicken/beef combo.

I got a couple of cans of Blue Wilderness Rocky Mountain Feast as a test and she went right to it and seemed to like it. I guess I will know for sure in the morning based on how much is left in her food bowl.

That's great. Get her to eat the canned now and you won't have to worry about transitioning her later in life.

cutiekitten,
