There aren't a lot of canned kitten food out there, or feline
growth formulas. Little Scarlett hasn't thrived as much as her
brother since she has had many set backs with first herpes- or
conjuctivtis-like issues, then the problem after her spay surgery.
She's turned into a very picky eater.

They were first eating Innova in the red can after I adopted them.
Their first month with their rescuer, they ate nothing but dry
Kitten Chow, but after observing how they hovered over the water
dish as if dehydrated, I decided canned food was going to be their
main food.

Scarlett doesn't have the problem her brother does when changing
food (Rhett gets diarrhea if not changed slowly; Scarlett has never
had a problem with her stools) so I've tried many brands and
flavors with her to find something she consistently eats. Rhett is
easy-going, but will hone in on Shamrocks or Bonnie's food if they
walk away, but he'll eat his own food, or go eat the dry SD Kitten
mixed with Wellness kitten food. Scarlett doesn't like dry food. I
discovered that she loves turkey. It was all she'd eat when she was
infected by her sutures. I still give her some when she gets picky
and I know that is not discouraging pickiness. If you saw her,
you'd give her whatever she will eat, too. If it is ok to keep
feeding her turkey on an every-other-day or so basis, should I ask
the vet for a taurine supplement? Should I worry about mixing in a
calcium supplement in such a young cat, even if the main food isn't
just the turkey (or chicken)?
