I posted an update on Poppy in another forum. Poppy has been with me since January 2011. Poppy was a shelter cat, came with "issues," most of which have resolved. She will always be on wet (canned) food, tho', because of a tendency toward constipation.
I'm a pensioner, so on limited income. Poppy has always done well on a few flavours of Fancy Feast, but has recently stopped eating FF Chicken, which is fine with me, 'cause I don't like the texture of this. I've tried Wellness and Merrick ... Poppy won't eat those brands. I recently tried her on Blue Buffalo Freedom Indoor Chicken, which she ate, but it's expensive.
I have a few questions re canned cat food:
(1) I'm wondering if boredom sets in and do cats really need multiple flavors of food? I rotate flavors in case of boredom, and in case they stop making one or more of the flavors.
(2) What is the BEST canned cat food, given Poppy's history of constipation?
(3) What is the best, INEXPENSIVE canned cat food, given my budget restraints?
(4) What do people here think about Fancy Feast as a long-term diet, assuming the cat will eat most flavors?
Would appreciate any comments re above questions, and I hope everyone, and everyone's cats, are doing well!
