He is a 2 year old male. He was originally my boyfriend's but we now live together and have been for several months. He absolutely will not eat anything wet other than Weruva wet food in fish flavors or Weruva BFF, Solid Gold tuna, or Fromm flaked salmon. Trust me. I've tried all the flavors in so many brands, even the ones that are meat + fish together, and he won't touch them. He will not eat anything dry other than Innova evo in turkey/chicken.
So my question is... which is worse? I know fish and dry food are both kind of bad for the urinary tract, especially in male cats, but since that is all he will eat... what should I do? I've been giving him about half and half, usually more wet than dry, but if one is better than the other I will switch him to that entirely.
Also if anyone has any other wet food suggestions, I would love to hear them. He will not eat: any flavor of wellness, any flavor of natural balance, any flavor of instinct/prarie, any flavor of merrick, friskies (I prefer to feed natural foods but I was desperate!), any flavor of triumph, ziwi peak venison and lamb, evo cat/kitten wet.
I can't mix fish with other food, he won't eat it, even if it's one of his favorites.
He likes the stella and chewys raw freeze dried but doesn't like the frozen. Is freeze dried meat better than dry food? It's really expensive
A lot of questions, I know.
I think my boyfriend turned him into a fish addict.
see thats problem #2 with his eating habits... he drinks very little water (lol though at christmas time he was obsessed with trying to drink from our tree). Maybe one of those water moving fountains would help.
Ive tried mixing in water... he catches on immediately and looks at me like I'm an idiot. Though I'm sure like a spoonfull would go unnoticed... I'll try this tonight.
Yeah what he gets now is one meal of wet fish and one of dry turkey.
Also I've heard that fish can cause urinary tract problems, just like dry food. I don't know if it's true or not :/
I don't mean to be rude but did some of you actually read my question???
I tried the raw. He only likes freeze dried but it's really really expensive.
He does not eat chicken. It doesn't matter if it's baked and not in a can. He doesn't like it.
He does not eat chicken mixed with fish. Just fish.
I work in a pet store. I've tried EVERYTHING, even things we don't sell here.
I leave the non-fish wet food out for him for 24 hours and he never eats it unless he's starving, and then he'll only take a bite or two.
I haven't tried warming the food up though, that is a good idea.
