My local pet store owner told me that Wellness is no longer the
high quality food that it used to be.

Does anyone know if this is true about the lower quality of
Wellness? I have so much trouble finding something my cat likes.

I finally found that she loves the Wellness Signature with the
skipjack tuna. I still can't find a dry food she likes

..............Don't know about Wellness changing. REally, any food
can

change and there can be a lag in change in the label - 6 months.

...........I'd quit feeding dry food. Offer canned food 3 times a
day.

Doesn't eat it? Pick it up and put away. When you leave dry out
all

the time your cat doesn't have much of an appetite as she's always

snacking. Sort of like humans grazing on chips and pop all day then
not

being hungry for supper.

Tough it out. As long as your cat is eating something they're not in

danger of getting hepatic lipidosis like they might if they're on a

hunger strike.

You might be right but honestly I can't afford feeding only wet food.
I decided to try and give the best quality food that I could. I use
the dry for regular eating and the wet as a treat.

Actually I have two cats. One will eat anything so I'm not worried
about her. It's my little girl (weighs about 6 lbs) that concerns
me. She is very fussy. Drives me nuts.

Try roast chicken. Its cheap, and you can pull it from the oven before its
too well done, cut out what the cats will eat, and then stick it back in and
finish cooking it for you and your wife.
