I recently changed my cats' food from a commerical brand cat food to Natural Balance Pea and Duck formula. I supplement with vitamins, tuna, or canned food once or twice a week, and home made food with turkey/venison, rice, cottage cheese, eggs, cabbage/spinach/carrots (a mix I feed my dogs) another one or two days a week. One of my cats has transitioned well, loves the vitamins, and although he is not eating as much dry food as usual seems to be doing well and adjusting. My other can is not adjusting well. He's overweight, but surprisingly picky after the change. He barely eats the dry, runs away from the vitamins, and doesn't care for the home made food. If I put out canned food, parmesan sprinkles, or tuna he voraciously eats it. But I am trying to convert him to a healthier alternative. It's been almost 3 weeks and he has lost a noticeable amount of weight, no vomiting, not as much stool as usual in the litter box, and he's been active, friendly, and in a good disposition as usual. I am planning on trying EVO dry food or Solid Gold cat food next. But, I am worried. Should I be nervous about Feline Hepatic Lipidosis?? Any other suggestions on persuading my little man to eat the goods?
