Ally, my 9 week old kitten, started eating Science Diet Kitten Original dry food over the weekend. She loves it, which is great, and is eating it frequently throughout the day via a Petmate Pet Bistro 2lb dry-food feeder, also great... but the problem is that now when I go to feed her wet food, she's not hungry and just leaves it.
She also has a Petmate Pet Bistro 2qt water feeder next to the dry-food feeder, and drinks from it frequently.
Does dry food have all the nutrients she needs? If I leave the wet food sitting there, eventually she'll have a little bit here and there throughout the day, but I don't like the idea of having wet food sit there so long.
This morning, she asked for wet-food (or so I assumed thats what the meow meant) and I gave her some. She ate maybe a tablespoon worth, much less than usual and went over to the dry food and started munching away.
Should I just let her eat the dry food and only give her wet food if she asks for it? Or is it ok to let the wet-food sit until she wants it? Or... well, what should I do?
She's got a healthy appetite. No problem there. I'm just want to be sure she is getting all of her nutrients so she can be healthy and grow properly.
