The Picky Eater
Some cats are very picky about what they will and will not eat. My cats like Purina brand dry cat foods. All of my picky eaters seem to relish tuna canned in water. Cali likes a squeezable tuna-flavored cat food made by Hartz. Cali also likes butternut squash canned cat food and chicken and rice wet cat food. If you switch cat foods, mix your old brand with the new one until your cat’s stomach gets used to the new brand. When you change a cat’s food suddenly, it will vomit until they get used to the fresh cat food. Mixing the old and the new tends to eliminate the vomiting issue.
Some Cat Foods Tend To Cause Diarrhea In Cats
Some cats are nighttime eaters, overeating cat food and getting diarrhea. I like to buy medium-priced cat food because the lower-priced ones tend to cause diarrhea in my cats. If your cat is having intestinal issues take your cat to your Vet. Your Vet may tell you to put your cat on an intestinal brand of cat food to correct the problem. Try not to feed your cat over. If your cat keeps having diarrhea with the food you are providing him, get a different brand before your cat gets run down and dehydrated. If your cat does not get over his diarrhea in two days, take him to your Vet ASAP.
Canned Food Or Dry Food Problems
If your cat continues to get sick on a particular brand of food, see if there are any recalls out on that brand. Some cats have died from cat foods that have been recalled. One time a cat food had too much of one kind of mineral that killed cats in about two weeks. Never make your cat eat food that they want nothing to do with, as they may taste the potential poison or have problems with the cat food. If your cat does not eat cat food, it is their way of telling you this food is terrible, or it could kill me if I eat it.
Keep Trying Different Cat Foods And Foods Until You Find The Right One For Your Finicky Cat
We all have certain foods that we cannot eat or make us sick. Our feline friends are no different from us. Our neighbors had a cat that loved cooked Asparagus. I saw their cat eating a big bowl of cooked Asparagus—my cats like butternut squash. Garfunkel loves to lick out my empty yogurt containers. We have fed our outdoor cats oatmeal, eggs, cooked corn meal, food scraps, and gravy. Cats like to get a good cat treat now and then—my cats like Temptations and Party Mix cat treats. Be patient with your picky feline friend until you find the right cat food for your cat that will keep him healthy, and he will have a happy nine lives.
