When we adopted our newest baby began to really evaluate what we were feeding our kitties. My almost three year old girls were getting pro plan indoor formula dry since they turned one but when the baby showed up I switched everyone to wellness dry and began adding in canned for breakfast with measure dry portions mostly because one of my girls, Ariel, is pretty heavy. I think she should be around 10 to 11 pounds, but she's 13. The problem is I have is twofold. She doesn't really like the canned. I've tried a few brands and she'll eat a little here and there, so she doesn't HATE it, but she doesn't love it. The other problem is that her sister and the little dude LOVE the canned. All the canned, so when I try to put out three bowls, they eat theirs then go for hers if she isn't eating fast enough. And she is really timid, so she backs off and won't eat any more if the others try and get a her bowl. Not to mention that the kitten, Dmitri, gets dry as well and she is forever sneaking into the kitten kibble too. It's like the universe is conspiring for this dang cat not to lose any weight! I'm not sure if there is a solution, but I wanted to share my struggle and see what other people say. It also doesn't help that my mom keeps telling to me to quit giving them canned because that's what's making her fat and I'm all she's the one that DOESN"T EAT THE CANNED, Mom!!! She's be thinner if she did! My mom and I butt heads alot, her cats are declawed, she free feeds Purina dry, and more or less subscribes to the lowest of the low maintenance pet ownership club. I mean, her cats are in good shape, but I want to do better for mine, ya know?
