Hi Everyone! I have a neutered male 5 year old cat. It took me 2 years to get him to eat a specific food consistently. My cat refuses any type of wet food such as pates, shreds, mouses even wet treats.

Finally I had found this site (new account now) and I noticed people kept mentioning a brand called Dr.Elseys specifically the chicken dry food. I couldnt believe it he ate...

Hey everyone! I have an almost 8 month old kitten that’s picky! Lately he’s only been wanting to eat Friskies shreds or pate however I’d prefer to feed him something a little more healthier and aimed for kittens. I’ve tried Tiny Tiger, American Journey, and Sheba and he doesn’t like them. He does like his sisters BFF pate food but it’s not for kittens. I have gotten him some kitten Weruva food but it’s a little pricey and he doesn’t like them as much as the BFF pate. I want it to be a kitten... Wet food suggestions for picky kitten ..read more

First things first, I have no choice but to feed my cat dry food. She never learnt to eat properly, she doesn't use her teeth, she only licks and that only works for dry food.

Wanted to see if there were any suggestions out there we haven't tried! We have a 13 year old kitty whi has only ever eaten kibble and almost exclusively crunchy treats. Doesn't like wet things and by that I mean even if he got saliva on some kibble he wouldn't touch it. We have found a couple varieties of softer treats he will each but those are rate exceptions.

About a month ago, we had a couple of unseasonably hot days here in the northeast, and Maple did not eat much until it got cooler. Not even dry food. I didn't want to jump to conclusions, so I wondered if maybe she didn't feel good that day or had stomach issues. She was also very lethargic. As soon as the weather went back to normal she began eating well again. Now it's hot again, and she's behaving the same. Just a few nibbles. Her dish is usually licked clean by this time of day. She's... Cat Won't Eat in the Hot Weather ..read more
