Question on feedint a cat to avoid cystitis
I was just wondering...
Which would be worse for a cystitis kitty: 1) A diet of 100% wet cat food that is not grain-free or 2) A diet of high-quality, animal protein based, grain-free dry food? Had someone tell me the other day that it's the grains that are more important to keep out of my cat's diet. I'm not sure I believe that but thought I'd throw this out for discussion. jmc |

Question on feedint a cat to avoid cystitis
The most important reason for feeding wet food is that it gets water (70
percent) into the cat. But why feed a wet food that contains grains when wet food that is grain-free is available? ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Suddenly, without warning, ---MIKE--- exclaimed (8/2/2009 8:56 AM):

But why feed a wet food that contains grains when wet food that is grain-free is available? ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') We're working on that. Currently, she refuses wet food if it has insufficient carbs. Stupid carbivore g. I've found one or two grain-free varieties that she's shown some interest in, so we're making a little progress. jmc |

Have you tried mixing the two wet foods together (grains and non grains)? Try a 3:1 ratio (grains to non grains) and very slowly reduce the amount of the grain wet food. |
