I´ve been feeding my cat (now 15 months) part homemade raw, part wet (ziwi peak) for a few months. Prior to that she was fed ziwi peak only, wet and dry. Two weeks ago I noticed that her amazing fur has started to change. It is not oily, but the fur seems to "clump together" to form peaks/needles. It is as soft and shiny as before, but the texture has changed a bit. She seems to feel well, and is as energetic as usual.
I´ve decided to move back to feeding mostly wet food for a few weeks to see if her fur changes back to normal or not.
The only change in my reciepie I´ve done recently is to add fish oil, instead of wheatgerm oil. The basic recepie was "approved" of someone who has been feeding her cats this for a long time, and knows much more than me about this. 20% heart, 10% bone, 6-8% liver (depending on what animal it comes from), 1 egg yolk per 2 pounds of food, 0.5 tbsp of algae/iodine salt per 2 pounds of food, a few ml oil, the rest is meat. The meat and organs used varies between chicken, veal, venison, lamb, rain deer and pork.
What do you think- could there be something missing in her food that could cause her fur to change this way? It is dark and cold in Sweden, and she does not like to be outside as much as usual. Could this affect the fur? Or is it hormonal?
