Persia does not like the Royal Canin or the Prescription Hill's k/d

picking at it, just eating enough to stave off hunger pangs.

Each vet seems to have his or her own opinion about matters like this.

said, "The important thing is that she eat. If she won't eat the food
that's best for her, feed her what she will eat." It is possible that
not
having the special food will shorten her life, but so will not eating at
all.

Obviously, you have to make the decision yourself, after consulting your
vet. I'm not telling you what to do, just what I did in a similar
circumstance. Whenever I wonder what course to take with my cats, I try
to
think how I would feel if I were in their place. Would I rather live
longer, being forced to eat what I like, or would I rather enjoy what
time I
have left? Again, only you can make the decision for your cat.

IMHO Give her what makes her happy! MLB


I just went to the store to stock up on Fancy Feast and a couple of cans
of Friskies. She's chowing down! Forget the expensive R/x food. I'll
give her whatever she wants, so long as she eats. Thanks everyone for the
support and encouragement.

I suspected that's what you'd do. It seemed like the way to go.
