I had to laugh, reading your explanation. The things we do for our pets . . . looking for a quality food one cat HATES, ha haaa. Only another multi cat owner would understand . . . . .

Interesting website! I had to wonder, though - it mentions brewer's yeast as an "alcohol production byproduct." Guess the webmaster's never shopped in a health food store.

Anyway, from your description, it sounds like the food you picked was exactly what was needed for your cats' situation!

Love, Columbine

It's been a week and a half, and still no puke. Ming was a bit hesitant about "new food" for a couple of days, but now they both chow down on the "good stuff"! They both LOVE the Blue Wilderness Duck dry food. They prefer the Nutro canned food. Guess what? Petsmart is starting to carry Wellness! I bought a can of that to see how it went. I haven't fed it to them yet, but if they like it, they will be getting that, too.

This is great news. I don't know if you have any Pet Clubs close to you but I've found that they have the cheapest price on Wellness canned cat food. Pet Club is like a Costco for pets. Petco and Pet Food Express also carry the canned food but I think it's a bit more than Petsmarts. Good luck.

Well, Wellness canned is a no-go. They both smell it and walk away. Oh well, they love Wilderness and Nutro, so I'll go with that. It won't help them if they won't eat it.

Oh well, at least you've already found a food that they both like. Which flavor did you try? A long time ago I tried a can of Wellness Cat/Kitten food on my cats and they didn't like it either. I think it was chicken flavor. They must've improved them because now they love it but they've also been on the grain free food for quite a while now so maybe this has also helped. I also don't free feed them so they have scheduled feedings which makes them hungrier at meal time.

It's funny, but because Mac needs to put on some weight, always has, I free feed. Since they've been on the Wilderness Dry, they actually eat less. Probably because they keep it down and don't puke it up!

With the better quality foods that are high in protein, they don't need to eat as much because it doesn't contain all of the fillers,grains etc., that the cheaper quality foods do. It probably also contains more calories per cup so Mac should get plenty of calories while still eating less. You'll also notice less stool waste because their bodies will use most of the food. They should also have more energy and will probably feel a lot better now too.
