Greetings fellow Cat Lovers
I continue with the journey that my kitty cat Buddy is a dry food lover (teetering on addict) and major aversion to any wet food that began about a month ago when transitions were beginning with his food and with the seasonal change to spring going into summer. Thankfully, I live in a basement apartment and so it is quite cool. Anyhow, my Buddy has lost a pound or so and I am concerned about him not getting enough calories and nutrition. I thought about bringing him to the vet, but he is still acting like his playful self, eating, drinking, etc.
As it stands, Buddy gets his 1/2 cup of dry food and pretty much eats the entire bowl in one day and then drinks lots of water. Are there any foods that anyone here can recommend that can give him a caloric and nutritional boost- preferably dry since he is such a dry food lover or maybe a mousse texture kind of wet food? I've chatted with my vet's office and they had mentioned kitten wet food has more caloric intake. My local pet store says there needs to be a support group for cats when it comes to food...I think I could facilitate that...haha!
As always, grateful for any suggestions and help! Thank you for your time and help!
With Gratitude,
Mary & Buddy
