Hi everyone,
My cat was born in August 2014 (I think because she was feral when I got her and that's what the vet estimated) and I was still a college student. I don't recall what brands I fed her but I switched to Blackwood Dry Cat Food Chicken and Rice in January 2017 when I started to make a little more money as a server. At the time, I recall the internet saying this was a great brand.. I recently started looking into cat food again since she's now 6 and a half years old () and I finally started my career after finishing graduate school.
I'm not reading that Blackwood isn't that good(???) and is rated a 3/10 on catfooddb.com. My heart dropped because I thought it was "one of the best brands". I think I tried giving her Blue Bufflao BEFORE Blackwood but she just would not eat it. She's not crazy about Blackwood but she's been eating it since 2017.
On the other hand, my mom has been feeding her about a tablespoon of canned food but the various brands from local super markets.. which I only also recently found out is pure junk. I recently (+/- a month or two) started buying Stella and Chewy and 3 of Life Essentials Freeze Dried Chicken (soaked in water) as her dinner. She loves it and it makes me feel better knowing that she is also getting more water intake now.. I never witness her drinking water.
I told my mom to stop feeding her the wet food and to replace it with small portions (2-3 pieces) of freeze dried chicken + water as I just purchased a sampler from Smalls for Cats which has been rated top second or third from sites I've seen (Dr. Elsey's Pure Protein is out of stock everywhere).
I guess.. my concern is.. have I messed up her diet or shortened her potential life span in any way from feeding her Blackwood and the junk canned foods from grocery markets?
She's my baby I am just freaking out. Thank you for your time.
