Hi everyone,
I'm new to this list and look forward to sharing precious moments with cat lovers.
I have a 6 1/2 month old pure white Oriential Shorthair, female. Her name is Ms. Tiggy. She was a week short of five months when I bought her from the breeder at the Cat Show in January. The breeder weaned her on 'canned' food and there-in lies the problem!! Ms.Tiggy will not eat dry cat food. She's very small, only two lbs., so with- holding food is not an option... she can't afford to lose an ounce of body weight.
Not eating Dry food is a problem... if we want to go away for a week-end, little Ms. Tiggy will starve and lose the small amount of body weight that she has.
I've tried three different kinds of dry kitten food and she won't even try it. I've mixed the dry with the canned and she won't eat the dry, just eats "around it" and eats all of the canned... the dry pebbles are left in the dish.
Can anyone offer suggestions??
Kindest Regards,
