Doctor Foxx 02/05/18 10:16:21 PM #12:	Ok he's being a picky b about his food. It happens. If this is a recent thing it might be slightly stale food. My cat with stones hated his dry food so I mixed it with wet prescription food and a bit of water. Water intake is really important for cats with crystals. You can also buy freeze dried liver powder which you can shake tiny amounts on to food to make it more appealing. That's one way to entice. Works for a lot of cats. --- Never write off the Doctor! <cite>Doctor Foxx posted [p:895542129] in I don't kn... [t:76287687]...</cite> <quote>Ok he's being a picky b about his food. It happens.

anti-helly 02/05/18 10:34:34 PM #20:	well that's not a very good thing, regardless. take some dry food, and add a little water or milk to them so they soften up a bit and see if he'll eat that. otherwise, wet food would be the way to go. in your case, give him only a quarter of a can or half, for breakfast and dinner. and just save the rest in the fridge for next time. even if he doesn't eat all of it at once, that's fine. i'd give me cat a whole can at once and he'd eat it periodically throughout the day. they aren't like us who eat several big meals a day, they just eat whenever. Tezlok posted... he's been eating this exact food for like at least a year now yeah, but take dry cereal and mash it against the roof of your mouth with your tongue. it hurts a bit, right? now do that when its gotten soggy with milk. it's easy, right? apply that to a toothless animal eating dry food <cite>anti-helly posted [p:895543288] in I don't kn...

Lunch meats and canned tuna are really high in sodium and not good treats Tuna is actually a very dangerous Gambit with cats. They can become addicted to tuna because of a certain protein that really screws them up. It reminds me of Koalas. I believe that they can become addicted to milk.

The roof of a cat's mouth really is intensely hard. maybe some don't but i feel that'd be individual and something that'd be determined under examination from people who know the cat. zikten is asking for help because his cat is having a problem so if the cat is having a problem eating dry food moistening isn't a bad thing to say.
