My moms cat eat wet food mostly but I do add in a little dry food. I changed from Merrick purrfect bistro chicken dry for cats to California natural dry grain free, Have always used calif natural till the recall but now how gone back to both reg and grain free For mine and my moms.. Do not like all the powdered cellulose in many dried food.
We have a older cat who is very thin who always liked the dry food. I ran out of the other dry food I stopped using and brought the new one in. I gave like 5 kibbles to each cat each day as a transition. They all seem fine but the older ill cat got diarrhea BUT I am not sure if its from that as I barely gave him any or a bad can of turkey and gibs it seems fancy feast changed something!! So today I tried again a few knibbles. I just do not know what to do? Can I introduce very slowly without mixing it with the old food (that I ran out of) or do I need to buy more of the old food to make a transition?? Or just feeding a spec a day of the new one??? I will say the cat is ill and will need to be put down down the road. But he has been eating well and seems happy. He was looking for the dry as I give it to the other cats and they just love it with no problems.The ill cat ate it right up.. Her cats are at my moms so I have to be careful as I only give the dry when I go for lunch and that is where the ill cat is. Any ideas. I feel bad because the ill cat really wants his crunchies??? any ideas!!
