Cat food question
Emily, 15, has a diet problem - most foods give her diarrhea, including
all the grocery-store cat food brands and flavors I've tried. She tolerates Wellness canned well, but is getting tired of the chicken flavor I've been feeding her for over a year now. The only store here that sells Wellness doesn't have individual cans; you have to buy by the case which I do. They say Wellness won't supply them with a case of assorted flavors. I'd like to try a few cans of another flavor before I invest in a case. Wellness dry causes diarrhea too, so I have to be very careful. Suggestions? Maybe some other premium cat food brand that does have single cans available and is more widely available? It would be nice if it had fiber added to help control her hairballs. Now I add three teaspoons of pumpkin to one of her three daily meals, which helps, but she eats it very very reluctantly.

Cat food question
I hav seen "hairball control" on some packages. I do not believe it, because
the only way it can be done is to reduce shedding, that is quite a feat for food, and no way will food keep up such a feat. "Skittles" (Cats do not really hav names: The only thing in the world that knows the name of a cat is an electric can opener...or a pop-top) hardly shed at all for her first two years. She has soft hair. In the last year, though, she has coughed up a few hairballs. When she passes the ten year mark, I expect she will shed quite a lot, hence more hairballs. _______ Polaroids are what Eskimos get from straining too much. |
