Canned Cat Food Question

[Lizzie]

I have a cat that really needs to eat wet food because of recurring bladder/UTI problems but I pretty much have to shut him in the bedroom for the day alone to get him to eat a can of Fancy Feast. As everyone else has said, some cats really don't like wet food of any kind. Then you get the ones who like wet food but can't stand anything with fish in it, or those that go mad for your wet food after rejecting every kind of cat wet food ever invented. I've even had cats with no teeth who will eat dry over wet. As long as Jade and Lexi drink a decent amount of water, they should be fine

There are no two cats that, given their druthers, would have the same eating habits. As some of you have read in other posts, the current formula for Picky Pinot is...

Science Diet (Dry, Indoor), 1/4 cup
about a small forkful of Science Diet canned, minced (various flavors)
enough water to make gravy
stir

She drinks the gravy, waits for the dry food to soften a bit, then eats it all.

How we came to that is not worth going into - but it works. You just have to figure out the formula for your own kitty's likes. There's no right or wrong.

Does she like a Martini...shaken not stirred with that.
Just kidding....you are an awesome kitty mom to make her special meal the way she likes it.

Check out the current Thursday's thread in Dog House - you're closer than you think on the Martini!!

I, too, have a cat that must have wet because of urinary tract problems. He loves his wet, though, and his dry. In fact, he will eat almost anything! Did I mention he could lose a few pounds?
For cats that have Uurinary tract problems but won't eat wet, there are many dry foods out there that address this problem. My boyfriend has a cat that won't eat wet. We've tried everything, but she will only eat dry. Oh well, she's healthy and that is what really matters! As long as they are healthy, it shouldn't be a problem.
