I prefer feeding my cats dry food without many dyes or byproducts in the food. My cats love Purina One Pro Plan with turkey and chicken.
On occasion, I will feed them canned cat food. I look for canned food with a low ash level. High levels of ash in cat food can cause health problems. Cats love tuna in water. Cats will not eat tuna packed in oil. Never let your cat eat chocolate, as it can kill your cat. Two teaspoons of whiskey can kill a five lb. cat. Cali loves Hartz squeezable’s. My cats also love Fancy feast turkey canned cat food. They like wet cat food that has pumpkins in it, also.
When my cats have a sensitive stomach or another health issue, I go to my vet and purchase their cat food for that particular issue.
A cat will starve to death before it eats a cat food that it does not like. If your cat does not want his new food, don’t think he will eventually give in and eat it. He will not. An excellent way to get them to eat different foods is to introduce new food along with their old food. I put a dish of fresh food next to the old food. Never obliterate their old food until you are positive they like their new food. My cats have never eaten or enjoyed cat foods with many dyes or byproducts. Your cat is an excellent judge of what is and isn’t good for his health.
I like to give my cats healthy treats to eat. An excellent time to pleasure your cat is if he has been a good cat. A treat is good to reward your cat. I give catnip to my cats now and then. Your cat will roll around on the floor after eating the catnip. He will also act like a playful young kitten again. They love Friskies and Purina cat treats and treats with catnip.
Never feed your cat a lot of food from a family gathering, as this could cause pancreatitis.
