Hi all, I know I've posted about this before, but it's out of control and I'm almost in tears with frustration! Scratch that, I am. I'm completely at a loss as what to do, and I'm hoping, praying, someone can help.
My cat is 13. No health problems at all (she had a complete panel done three weeks ago). She's 11 pounds. All her life she's eaten wonderfully.
Until two months ago.
Now, she will only eat new food. As in a new bag, new flavor, new brand. And she will only eat it for a maximum of 4-5 days, and eat it enthusiastically. Then, all of a sudden, she's done and I'm stuck with a full bag of brand new cat food (I do donate what's left to the shelter). I've tried crunching treats up and mixing it in - she digs out the treats. I've tried slowing incorporating old and new food - she digs out the new food and eats in on the floor. She refuses to eat food toppers - sniffs it and walks away. I have had her for 13 years and have yet to find a wet food she will eat, instead of licking the gravy or pate sauce/jelly (Friskies, Blue Buffalo, Purina One, Nutro, etc). Her bowl hasn't changed, eating area hasn't changed, nothing in her environment is different. I've brought this up to my vet who doesn't have a clue. Her teeth are fine. I keep buying bag after bag and it's far beyond out of control.
