Raymond seems to be hungry quite a bit. I give him wet food, dry food, and a delectables once in a while as a treat. But, I'm not sure how often he should eat or if he should be on a schedule?

Rn I have canned food basically overflowing (friend gave me ALOT) my drawers are full but I do NOT want to run out again with two kittens and the giant cat. How often do y'all with three cats restock wet food to avoid running out(I only feed wet). Idk if I should wait til it's half or stock a little every paycheck to avoid it ever getting to half. I'm always running out when I don't expect it.

My senior female cat has bladder stones and she has authorization for different Royal canin health features. Urinary, urinary + calm, urinary + calm + aging. This is just so she has more food options to choose from as she’s extremely and dangerously picky, and I’ve spent hundreds of dollars just to figure out which prescription urinary food she will eat.

I ordered a small bag of the urinary + calm dry kibble and she really likes that one. I was thinking I might as well change it to urinary + calm + aging, but I’m worried it might smell or taste different and she won’t like it.

She also likes wet morsels but I got just the urinary version. I’d like to also move that one to the urinary + calm. I don’t think they have that specific flavor in +aging.

She hated the wet loaf flavor. Those I got in U+C+A (there another $80 😔)

Recently my boy cat was diagnosed with diabetes, when he was first diagnosed I immediately switched him over to the diabetic diet my vet recommended. Since I was recently injured at work I’ve had minor financial troubles and couldn’t immediately start him on insulin. Now that he’s on insulin and immediate danger is out of the way I want to get him back on a rotating diet. His vet has recommended a couple different options but unfortunately since my boys diagnoses he’s grown extremely picky.

We’ve tried the Purina Pro Plan DM Veterinary Diet, along with the Royal Canin Glycobalance. He seems to really like the RC dry food, but not the wet food and it’s the complete opposite with the DM diet. The vet was really adamant that my cat didn’t have to just stick with the vet diets, especially if he wasn’t a huge fan over them as long as they stayed in his food rotation. He would much rather him eat something that he liked as long as it was high protein/low carb so when I gave him his insulin he had a full tummy.

Now normally I wouldn’t come to reddit with this problem, I’d just do some research and find a couple different options but along with my boy being just diagnosed with diabetes, my girl cat start having seizures. When she had her first one I rushed her to the emergency vet, we did bloodwork, everything looked fine so they sent me home told me to keep an eye on her. She was fine for a couple days but then had another seizure, thankfully this one didn’t last as long but because she did have another one the vet recommended starting her on phenobarbital. Since she’s started it she hasn’t had another seizure. Now on top of me having to give her a liquid medication every twelve hours, and find a way to do it without traumatising her, I’m trying to find a food both her and her brother can eat without causing issues for the other.

My vet highly recommends keeping them on as similar diets as possible bc their entire lives they’ve eaten the same thing and anything my girl didn’t finish my boy would. Both my vet and I would prefer not to stress them out even further with massive behaviour changes to their lives, that have been allowed for years, on top of the medication.

If anyone has any suggestions I’ll gladly take them!

Found this giant piece of uncut cat food in the Meow Mix bag

ive been trying to find a kitten food that is somehow comparable to zealandia and affordable. anyone has tried this brand?

I took my 1 year old bengal/tabby cross to the vets today due to an extended bout of naaaaaaasty diarrhoea, parasites and viruses were ruled out and the vet said he’s got a very sensitive stomach and suggested chicken and broth with probiotics which I had already been doing for a week. He went off his food beforehand so was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to feed him when his stomach settles? Both wet and dry suggestions please (also, I am on a budget as I’m disabled.) Thanks in advance! 🙂

I’m from UK, I have a very 2 rescue cats from Dubai- one is a very fussy 14 year old. She doesn’t lose her appetite, however she goes off food very easily. We’ve tried all different foods but she’s not interested in them for too long. I’m thinking of trying her on Bella & Duke as I’ve heard some really good things about them, but she hasn’t tried raw in the past. Just wondering if anyone else has a fussy cat who has tried Bella and Duke and if they liked it? Or other things you’ve tried for your fussy cat? Thank you in advance

good morning, I am adopting a 10 month old female kitty soon. she is 5.3 pounds, and I assume she needs to eat enough to grow since she isn't an adult yet and is quite small and active, but the advice I'm seeing online seems tailored to adult cats or newborn kittens. I have a ton of cans of wet food which I plan on adding water to to make sure she stays hydrated. One thing that's weird is that these cans don't say how many calories they are, and even if they did I'm not sure how many calories would support her correctly. I don't want to starve her but I also don't want her to be obese. Any advice?

Hey! Currently my cats are on applaws ocean fish complete dry food, I have two cats and one is intolerant/allergic to chicken (maybe poutry in general, he seems to react a little to turkey, but not as much), which unfortunately, is pretty much in everything in one way or another. I'm finding it hard to find a wet food to give thats affordable, I'm 19 and just got out of education so I dont have much money (trying to save to move out, too). Since I've taken over the care for the cats I've changed them onto a new dry food (applaws), guessing that my cat is intolerant to chicken. It has worked amazingly so I assume my guess was correct, no more runny poos etc.

But now I'm having trouble finding a wet food. Its hard to find an answer online, but are cats like humans with tuna, can they only have a few portions a week? I'm not talking about giving them human tuna, just cat food tuna based tins daily. It seems to be the only affordable thing I can find that doesnt include chicken.

If anyone has any wet food recommendations, please let me know!

Edit: I am in the UK so the food needs to be available to buy here!

Thank you!

I’m pulling out my hair over here trying to figure out what is happening with my prescription Purina e/n. Wondering if anyone may have a resource to see if they have changed formulas recently or if anyone else is having the same experience?

Both my IBD and non-IBD cat were eating the Purina e/n dry food happily for over a year and now they suddenly want nothing to do with it. The auto-feeder overflows with it every night because nobody wants it.

My IBD cat has also happily eaten the pate wet food for the last year and now he is repulsed by it. (Of course right after I purchased an entire pallet for $75). He is prone to picky eating while having a flare but I can usually entice him by opening a new can or sprinkling a bit of treat on top. NOPE, not anymore. It’s a struggle to get him to even consider eating that food in particular.

I also lent my friend a can for her cat who also eats e/n normally and he vomited both times he ate it.

What gives???? Id think maybe I just got a bad batch but what are the chances both the wet and dry food are bad batches?

I saw in the /rawfoods sub that purina is making a lot of pets sick and paying off people to stay quiet.

I’ve been feeding my kittens purina pro for months. I’m not sure what brands out there that are actually safe. A lot of these brands seem to be vet backed so it’s confusing.
