I've read that a small amount of veggies are good because they contain phytonutrients, some vitamins and minerals.
The reason Ann Martin uses yogurt and cottage cheese is because it contains calcium. But I wonder, Is the calcium in cottage cheese and yogurt a good enough source of calcium for a cat?
Well, looking at these ingredients, this is something I would only prepare as an occasional treat, rather than a steady diet.
I've successfully gotten my cats to eat more wet food now. I give them a quarter of a 5.5 ounce can or 1/2 of a 3 ounce can 3 times a day, once in the morning, again at 5 pm after work and again at 8 pm on work days and on weekends, wet food for breakfast, wet food for lunch and wet food for dinner. The cats also get a little dry food every day but less than what they used to get. This is an improvement already, reducing the dry and increasing the wet.
