Feed your cats wet food if you can afford it. it’s better for them and their kidneys. when they’re older you’ll be glad you did
And if they'll eat it.
Mine slurps up half of the gravy, and then shows absolutely no interest in the solid food.
He was a rescue, so I didn't get decide what he got used to eating.
Edit: I was not asking for advice. You are not giving me new ideas. The boy is over 10 years old at this point, the transition to wet food has been attempted a couple times, with veterinary advice.
He was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure in december, when he stopped eating even dry food. He is now on a veterinary diet to extend and make the remainder of his life comfortable. As such even fewer options are available. The wet versions of the special foods were tried, but especially considering his condition, he must eat, and do so regularly.
I tell you I feel this comment. Sums up my experience with Lemmy perfectly. Just unending unasked for advice. This whole website is basically made up of old guys at a bowling alley who try to teach everybody how to bowl against their will.
