Ever since we brought in a kitten (and that tasty kitten food) my older cat has become extremely picky. Kitten is now big enough for cat food, and she'll eat anything that isn't nailed down, so there's no worries there. The older cat is a 5 year old Siberian female, 16 pounds. So I want to make sure I'm keeping her healthy, as she is a big girl. When she started out in the bachelor pad with my husband, she lived on Friskies alone. Since I came along, she's tried Taste of the Wild, Wellness, Wellness CORE, Acana prairie, HealthWise, Innova... all have had short-lived success and generally are only tolerated when they're mixed in with junk food. &$*%@!!!!
The only one she doesn't completely reject is HealthWise, and she'll only give in to it when she's gone hungry and I refuse her wet food. I'm wondering if it's actually the shape of the food. The little Xs and Os like Friskies and CatChow rather than the pellets and flying saucer shapes of the higher end brands. I would really like to transition her to a better quality food and maybe grain-free, as I suspect allergies are afoot. (She loves to chew her mane, grooms compulsively, and occasionally has runny eyes) Has anyone found a good food that's not bunny-pellet shaped?
