I'm just wondering if anybody else has had this experience. I've had Ailish for 2 years this summer. She will be 3 years in August. When I got her she was on supermarket dry food which we changed without problem to good quality wet for three of her four daily meals and good quality dry for the fourth simply because it had to go into an automatic dispenser. She was a little underweight when I got her and had just weaned a litter. The 8 lbs seems to be a good weight for her per the vet, she is small.
I have fed her a big variety of foods since I've had her and she pretty much eats (ate) anything. I've been very lucky in the feeding department. She's very food motivated. She loves the dry and the occasional dry treat. Recently her favorite wet food came off the market and I had to fill in with something so I upped the frequency of Weruva, which she has always had, not very often, and liked.
Suddenly, and I cannot think of one thing that has changed, she will mainly only eat Weruva. Any kind of Weruva. She will also eat freeze-dried raw (Primal). She never got this before, but I was desperate the other night so I tried a sample. Gobbled it right down, licked the plate clean. Now she will not touch the normal pates and even some of the shreds she used to like. She even turned up her nose at TikiCat chicken and tuna. What cat doesn't like Tiki? She loved it up until now!
She is a fairly active cat and remains that way. Poop and pee are normal, especially considering she's missing some meals, partially eating others, and is sometimes eating a whole new food type - the Primal, She's still crazy about treats and eats every molecule of her nighttime dry feeding. She also doesn't pester for food like clockwork like she used to, although when the Rubbermaid with the treats in it is opened she can hear it downstairs and on the other side of the house and comes running.
As anyone else had this rapid change in their cat? If so, did it lead to more pickiness, or did they go back to their former ease with food.
And I'd like to add...there is NO free food available and never has been.
