I'm new to the diet thing... when I was growing up we never gave our cats diet much thought. But now that I'm out on my own and have a new kitty I'd like to make sure I'm feeding him the absolute best thing for him. With our first cat we fed him canned Science Diet for most of his life and with our last two cats we fed them canned food for a while then switched to dry.
Now with Maui I have been feeding him Authority (Petsmart brand as I'm sure you all already know) for kittens (he's 6 months so I'm told) and he seems to be doing well considering he's only been with me & eating it for about a week. I'd like to continue feeding him the Authority and then also maybe give him some canned food each week to give him the best of both worlds.
How much/how often should I give canned? Like once or twice a week?
Should I mix them together or just serve canned one day and then go back to dry the next?
Any particular brands anyone would like to recommend?
Also- if you have a better suggestion please let me know! I've been trying to read about different diets but everything I find on this site is too advanced- everyone already knows what they're talking about! I need a newby breakdown!
On my sugar glider site they have like a research area that you can get different diet recommendations & how to prepare it all... plus they have a section just for diet chit chat!
