How do I get my cat to eat wet food better?
My question seems to be the opposite of some others … I just passed 1.5 years of a fantastic old feline animal shelter. He was fed a combination of Friskies and / or 9Lives wet food in the shelter. I agasint these products because they contain ingredients terrible, but my cat will not eat the wet food or Nutro well that I bought. Should I try mixing some Friskies and 9Lives in food wet and wean him that way? I would not do it as I'd prefer not to eat any of that stuff … but if I have …
Understanding how feed a cat depends on age, activity level and health of your cat. I will address their concern for giving advice based on the assumption that your cat is generally healthy and have no diet or special medical needs. If you have been feeding your cat dry food all day with a food dispenser, the first thing to do is to stop gradually. Kibble addict resist changes and is not a good way to cut short immediately. They are used to the smell of dry kibble – where food manufacturer trick to their senses with addictive layer persuade them to eat. In addition, your cat is accustomed to the crunchy texture of dry pellets and resist eating wet. What you need to do is a gradual transition – introduce her to wet food slowly. Start with a mix of what you are eating now and mix it with wet food. If cats eat dry and humid, you can eliminate the dry almost immediately. On the other hand, if you are addicted to kibble, you have to go slow. Feed more often, less quantity because kibble addicts are accustomed to having food around 24 / 7 (if not fed). A normal healthy and active adult weight at about 6-8 pounds would need about 6 oz of wet food day. For kibble addicts, you need to increase the number of shots at first, but increasingly, serve only a smaller portion. Because they are accustomed to eat all the time, you can try to feed them up to 6 times a day. This is just a very extreme recommendation because once your cat has established a wet food appetite, which can greatly reduce the number of food and increase the amount. Once you got your cat to eat wet food, you can now feed well 2-3 times a day. Always supervise your cat's reaction to food. If after four weeks or less, you find that your cat seems to have grown a little chubbier, reduce and the opposite is true if it appears to be hungry all the time. Sometimes, when switching to all wet using scheduled and portion control feeding owners cat method is upset when they see their cats begging for more food. Resist the temptation to give in. Cats can go very well for a couple hours without eating. Stick to your routine. But never starve a cat to eat. The decision to switch to wet food is correct and I am glad you have taken a step forward to ensure that your cat receives all proper nutrition and species appropriate diet.
