I feed her the dry food, and much to my surprise, she actually likes it. YMMV. he's been on KD hard food for about 2 yrs. been on KD soft food for about 6 mos. he still eats it, but not enough, and if he likes something better and will eat more of it, that's what i was hoping. bob |

My vet says that more cats find it palatable either that or he just told me that because he stocks it. My Isabelle did eat it but she also forms crystals and the Modified diet didn't help that so she's back on the C/D. Given the choice between having a cat who over-groomed herself and peed outside the box and one who appears to be much happier, has her beautiful coat back and is using the box I'll take the happy box-user.

Joy Ah yes... when Francis was prescribed Hills' renal food, he *refused* to eat it with a look of "You expect me to eat that sh!t? You can stick that up your..." For a while, as he was in acute medical need, I fed him it via a syringe. Basically I mashed it with water into a paste and squirted it into his mouth. He hated me. If looks could kill, I'd have died a thousand deaths. But the food did the trick. After a month I put him on normal senior cat food and he's been on that every day since. |
