Hi! So my cat is 6 years old and he is my whole world. Up until he was 3-4 years old, he was on a crappy dry food diet. I was only a teen when i got him so I didnt know anything about cat nutrition at the time, but once my little man almost died, i dedicated a lot of my time to trying to find good food for him so as to prevent future issues. He has had the PU surgery, it saved his life. And he has been eating a few things since then but has had UTI's and bloody urine a few times since. I'm only 22 and live on my own so I dont have a ton of money but i always make sure to get him good food. I have given him wellness core, spots stew, weruva, nutros max cat, and a few other things ALWAYS wet food. I never give him dry food anymore. And in addition to his food, I add a bit of vitamin c powder (to help break down crystals if they appear) and i also use cosequin cause i read it helps the lining of the cats bladder and cranberry pills when i have them.
my issue is that i buy a 24 pack of 3 oz cans for about 35 dollars.... and that only last him 12 days since i give him one 3oz can twice daily. its expensive. im wondering if there is anyone out there who has a cat with similar issues and has a brand they use. sometimes when i am REALLY low with money, i get him the grain free purina wet food... im ashamed to say i do as i do not fully trust that brand. but the case is only 11 dollars for 12 cans.
i have given him raw food once, my friends mother makes raw food for all her cats and its good stuff but my cat is picky. he wont eat human food. doesnt like sliced turkey or ham or cheese or cooked chicken none of that stuff. he really likes canned foods with lots of gravy and stuff. idk im looking for any help anyone can give me. i just want him to be healthy and happy
