Hi everyone, I "suspect" it would be good for nutrition to feed them a variety of foods (all canned), but how does it work in practice with their digestion or even psychology? Is it ok to vary the kind from meal to meal, day to day, or should the change come more slowly? How slowly? Thanks....

When we tried adopting Henry, he was an aggressive stray tom whose hormones were still kicking after being recently neutered. The introduction went well for a few weeks, but after going too quickly with the intro, and a major knock-down dragout with Louis (where Henry was the aggressor) the...

Hi, I posted a short while back about my cats suddenly developing diarrhea (and vomiting) in reaction to their usual Innova diet. I've been since experimenting with other brands (Burns, California natural, etc) and after a month of this insanity, I finally try Royal Canin's formula for Sensitive...
