Thanks for the replies, all. Yes, it does appear that Tigress is "alergic" to dry cat food. And it has crossed my mind about keeping her teeth clean, if she can only eat canned food. She will nibble some dry food, but then, if she eats too much of it, she gets sick and begins to barf it up. Even though this morning she barfed up the dry food, I gave her another small can of cat food, which she immediately ate, and then began to run through the house with Fawn, chasing each other! As it is now, I feed her canned food in a pet carrier with the door latched shut, but not enough for her not to be able to get out, when she has finished eating. This arrangement works OK because it keeps the others out. Tigress is also the same cat who eats practically everything I eat. Therefore, I will purposely leave some cat-type food leftovers for her to eat and/or lick up. BTW. she loves yoghurt, and she gets what is on the lid of the container. I'm wondering if this will help her digest dry food?
