Since I like variety in food I stupidly assumed that Abi would too. Recently she was vomiting...more regurgitating right after breakfast... so i took her to the vet yesterday and she said that while the cat might LIKE eating a variety of food, her tummy might not like it and I should stick with one food.

She also put to rest the amount of urine my cats produces everyday, of course there is more and she is now 7 pounds but the vet said she isn't fat...phew. I dont want to make her fat.

Well I have to decide on the Nutro in bags or the Blue in the little cans.
Any informed opinions regarding the better of the two?

Nutro's Max Cat canned definitely come up so I guess I am bringing half a case of it to the humane shelter.

It's a shame she has a sensitive stomach. 7 lbs. sounds so little to me (Jamie weighs almost 14 lbs; he was 9 lbs. at 6 months). I'm not familiar with the Blue brand, so no help there. Does she have a preference for pouches or cans?

Cindy is 7 pounds too, I can't get her to eat more. She eats just about anything I give her and doesn't seem to have a sensitive stomach, but she just eats a tiny little bit each time. The vet says she's fine, but it seems like she should gain a little bit.

I'm not familiar with the Blue brand - is it similar to the pouches (morsels in gravy?) I would go with whichever one she eats the most of.

yep big cats here too...12 and 12. Remy the cat posted is only 9 months old but apparently ragdolls get up to around 20 lbs. We do the innova e. since both of them can use it.

she will eat anything, finicky isn't the problem, it just that some things come up right away so I am sticking with nutro morsels for a week and seeing if the regurgitating stops. The vet doesn't think she is too small,
she's only 8 months old and a petite foxy cat. She also get ALOT
of exercise because we play hard several times a day and she loves charging up and down the stairs. and leaping fro window to window to catch bugs behind glass.

The new house in Portland has three floors so she can go even more wild once she settles in and feels comfy.
