Hello,
I have 2 cats - a female and a male. The male is about 1 1/2 old. My cats have to eat on scheduled meals, twice a day, because the female is on a weight control diet and will eat the males food if left unattended. Maverick (the male) always is begging for treats and food. But when it is dinner time, he will eat a few morsels, and then wander off. It takes us about 2 hours to get him to finish his dinner, all the while constantly warding off his sister who will happily finish it for him.
We thought it was the food, so we switched from IAMS Adult to another brand. That did not help. He's on brand three right now. He's starting to look very thin now too, as often we have to put his food away since it goes uneaten for so long (or his sister gets it!)
I'm worried there is something wrong with him beyond being a finicky cat. Any recommendations on a better food, or a better solution?
