I think we're going to go with a variety
of wet food in the morning and afternoon
and leave them some dry overnight.

If you stop leaving dry food out at night your cats will start eating
all the canned you give them because they won't have been snacking all
night and will have a good appetitie. It does take a little time while
you're transitioning but they figure it out.


Tried that. You probably didn't read the other post (it was a few days ago I
think) where I was lamenting that I had to leave it for them because I was
worried they would get fatty liver.
They didn't eat for a whole 36 hours. I got worried. Jeffrey is fat enough
that I worried about FLS with him not eating. Isis is fine. Rowan is too thin
already (she's my sickly baby who has a recurring URI).

I don't leave enough dry for them to get full; just enough so they do
actually eat something for the day if they haven't. They scream at me in the
morning for more food and chow if I give them something they like, so I
figure they're hungry.


Giving them some cooked chicken hearts and gizzards will accomplish this
much better and won't leave a starchy goo stuck to their teeth. :-)


Rowan will eat cooked beef (she loves my tacos). The other two won't eat any
meat that I've tried to give them, cooked or raw.
We tried beef heart, chicken heart, chicken gizzards, cooked ground beef, and
cooked chicken muscle meat. They won't eat canned fish of any kind, including
tuna.
I have odd cats.


What is your definition of good stuff?

Anything they'll eat that costs more than $1 a pound dry and more then .50 a
can wet.
*smile*

I think you mentioned SD,

They hate SD, IAMS, and Innova.

Here's what we've tried...

Paws up for dry:
Chicken Soup Cat Lovers
Royal Canin
Pro Plan
Nutro Max Cat
Nutro Natural Choice
Anything that qualifies as Kitty Micky Ds (cat chow, 9-lives, etc)

Paws up for wet:
Most Fancy Feast flavors (no sliced)
Some Friskies flavors (mostly the shredded)
Some Pro Plan flavors (only kinds with no chunks)
Meow Mix packets (most flavors, not the fish)

Paws down for wet:
9-lives
Wiskas
Wellness
IAMS
Innova
Nutro Max Cat
Nutro Natural Choice
