I have two seven month old kittens. Both eat dry food just fine without complaint. But one of them started vomiting on the orange bag of whole hearted kitten dry food. The vet said its vegetable/non-meat content was too high. So we assume he has a sensitive stomach and don't want to make him sick again.
I want to give them wet food once a day to supplement the dry. They loved wellness canned food which I was able to get on a really good sale, but generally it's cost prohibitive. The only wellness food they didn't like was a can of shreds. I have access to someone working for Petco who can get me pretty step discounts on some higher end foods but not wellness.
I've tried wilderness canned food but they just sucked the gravy off the cubes and spit out the rest. I also tried fancy feast kitten pate. They ate around the edges, presumably where the "gravy" is, but left me with a sticky ball of leftovers that they refused to eat. Smashing up the can with a fork didn't change their habit.
Now it's time to try something else. They seem to want lots of gravy but not shreds or cubes of meat. The wellness had pieces of what looked like real fish or shrimp in it, probably why I can't get discounts on it. I don't know if they would eat tiny minced pieces of meat in their food. They don't want pate.
I'm not having to get this because my cats are elderly or have teeth problems. Other than the one's sensitive stomach they should be able to eat anything. So does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you in advance.
