Hi again I have went to the Ark www.animalarkshelter.org in Hastings after checking out feline rescue www.felinerescue.org and st. paul shelter and i found a Big guy. He was sitting in the litter box with (princess) a cat at the shelter batting at his head. He looks a bit like pete glaciers kitty I hope to have pictures soon. He has only been in the house for 3 days now but i brought him to the vet for his free physical that the Ark offers for adopted pets. The vet picked butterscotch's teeth and big pieces of plaq came off :(
All he will eat right now is soft food, well he will pick at the hard food but not eat much at all, i have 3 different kinds of hard food out, and he eats the soft food when i put it in a bowl. The only other thing i have tried is putting a little hard food in with the soft but he seems to just eat around it.
Does anyone have any suggestions I know soft food only is really bad for their teeth and would appreciate any advice i could get to switch him to the hard food. The vet said it is really bad for cats to go without food for long periods of time because of keytones and liver damage from burning fat, So i am scared to just leave hard food untill he is so hungry he has to eat it.
