But I was just wondering whether anybody has experienced this, and if they ever found a moist food that was liked, or also if they tried raw and whether the finicky ones liked that?

Re: cats who don't like moist food
Yeah, I have few overweight, too, and that's why I'm trying to switch more to canned now that I know it is healthy and so much lower in calories. Fortunately, the overweight ones like anything (partly why they're overweight I suppose lol) and the ones who only eat dry are pretty good. But it's hard to have dry for them and try to keep the others on moist only, so I was hoping to get them off of it. I think I'll try some of the raw stuff and see. I agree they would be more likely to eat it if no dry was available! I cannot tell you how encouraging it is to me that your cat lost 5 lbs. over a year and a half!! I have a couple who could stand to lose a good 3-4 pounds, so I'm hoping we'll finally get somewhere now that I have learned some more things. Thanks for your input, as well as everyone else's, too, and sorry your cats keep getting sick!!

Re: cats who don't like moist food
My cat Lucy is exactly like this. She would only eat dry, period. Then she got IBD and could not eat dry, and luckily she likes raw food, so that is what she gets now. I was afraid she would not eat the raw because she would not eat wet food, but she was into it immediately. I give her Stelton's ground turkey from the health food store (comes frozen in one pound tubes, is free range, etc.), mixed with Omah's frozen ground turkey organs (I get it from a dog training place that sells it-- they have a website) and Feline Futures pre-mixed raw food vitamin supplement (which has the recipe for mixing the meat and organ meat too). She loves it. You can try either raw, or at least the EVO dry food, which is a much better quality dry food and does not have any grains. Michelle In a message dated 6/23/2006 11:22:36 A.M.
