Buddie when she was younger would not eat anything but dry and she
was picky about which dry. She wouldn't eat chicken, beef, most any
table food. She did like bacon, and potatoe chips. When she got
extremely over weight and I had no choice but to put her on a diet, dry
was out. Dry food is the worst for cats, and I wish I could get my 2
dry food junkies off it.
To my amazement she started eating the canned all on her own, I wasn't
putting out dry except in the evening, I guess she quickly decided she
didn't like being hungry all day and started nibbling on the wet. After
a few days of noticing her eating wet, I stopped feeding dry all
together. When she was eating good and losing weight, I stupidly
starting putting out dry for the 2 junkies, but Buddie never again ate
the dry, she lost 5 pounds over a year and a half and was doing great
until she got liver cancer shortly thereafter.
I'm still trying to get the two 2 junkies (both who by the way are
overweight and the only ones who are overweight), off of the dry. Every
time I decide I'm going to get my guys on better food, somebody gets
sick with something really bad, I'm almost afraid to try again. Before
Buddie got sick I was trying to switch all to raw. Before Bailey got
sick I was trying to switch the ones who wouldn't eat raw to a better
canned. And immediately after losing Bailey, Fred comes up hyperthyroid
and CRF!!
