Oscar hasn't thrown up since I switched her to canned and Wellness a few
months ago.


I would really like to switch the Lunameister to canned/wet food, but
she barfs it up pretty quickly. She seems to have SUCH a sensitive
tummy. I'd happily take any advice and hints from you wet food pros.
It's only from reading here that I am realizing she needs to be
switched! Fortunatly, Jasper came to us as a wet food eater. Now, the
trick is trying to switch him to a better brand of food. He is a
Friskies-in-the-pouch addict...I've been trying to see what he'll take
to...i bought science diet, pro plan, and nutro...tried em all. He's not
diggin it much. If i mix with the friskies, he'll go for it. Im trying
the mix it method, but he REALLY seems to want his friskies. Brat. ;-)

changing the topic...

Luna may just need a higher quality wet food. She must have a sensitivity to
something. Check your ingredients and maybe keep a little food log for her.
Try to find a food without grains (although if dry food is OK you would not
think it was that.) What is the primary protien in her dry food? maybe it
needs to be a food that has no beef or fish etc.


She throws up dry food as well...but not as frequently. I currently have
her on Whiskas dry...just regular commercial brand cat food. This was
actually advice from the vet at one time. She has always been a tiny
girl and the vet wanted her to keep weight on. I had her on Eukanuba and
the vet suggested a more "fattening" brand of food just to put the
weight on. Looking back I question that advice, but I was always happy
with the vet. To be honest, it is indeed time for Luna to have a vet
visit, so Im thinking I may try a new vet (the one where we had Jasper
checked out) since I have moved and this new vet is in my neighborhood.
Man, if being a cat mommy is tough, I am a little nervous about being a
human mommy some day!

I wish I could help, but Oscar has been unusually tolerant in this regard.
She doesn't love wet food, but she'll eat it if that's all she gets.
