Hey everyone,
Firstly I would just like to apologize I have not been around for a very long time but i hope to get involved here more now that I have the time. I have an epidemic.
My 3 year old siamese (applehead) refuse to change his dry diet. He usually eats soft food at night but during the day he nibbles on his dry. He started out on wellness but eventually lost interest and would not eat so I switched to EVO. The EVO he liked but due to the food being somewhat larger than most it crumbled quite a bit when he tried to eat it and was always left in his bowl so it became a waste and expensive. I then started searching for another food and tried all kinds. He didn't like Natural Balance, Merrick, Wildreness OR Blue. I was feeding our local "stray" Purina One and he seemed interested whenever i would get the bag to feed the feral so I decided to let him try a taste.
What a mistake.
He liked it a whole lot so since I could not get him to eat any other food other than a "purina" product I now feed him Purina One. I still want to "ween" him off of the this stuff for a better healthier food so I found out about "Spot's Stew"..the ingredients seemed really good and the food itself was not to small ot too big. (he likes food that he can crunch). The problem is what do I do if even when I mix his Purina One with Spot's Stew and he only picks out the Purina and leaves the other food in the bowl? Do I keep doing this regardless if he is getting enough food in a day or do I give in and keep trying to find another food until I find one the he likes.
People have told me just to keep leaving the Spot's Stew in there because sooner or later he will get hungry enough and eat it. I don't want my cat to be undernurished and starve himself what do I do? Here is my finicky feline.
I am up in the air about all this "holistic" food stuff that seems to be popular these days because my cat refuses to touch it. I know corn, ect is not great for them but why do cats seem to be attracted to the lesser brands of foods? Very confusing.
