Multiple Cats - How to feed

[Craftlady]

I had the cats on Precise(chicken) and it gave them major gas. Took them off Precise and went to TOFW bison and salmon. NO gas and very few hairballs.

Taking Coco off the Precise (chicken) for dogs and putting him on TOFW (opposite flavor of Snoopy's). Feeding both the lamb would break the bank. Bag wouldnt last long at all. This way giving him another flavor I'm going through bag in 30 days give/take. I measure out the dog's food.

I'm sorry to hear about Skinny and I agree that the RX diets aren't very healthy ones. My Storm had crystals and he became blocked twice so he had to have the PU surgery. He was a few different RX Urinary diets for a while but he would still sometimes get UTI's.

When my RB Starr was diagnosed with Colitis and IBD, my vet put him on a grain free diet. She also said that it would fine for Storm as long as he had plenty of canned food too. Ever since Storm's been on a grain free diet, he's never had any more urinary tract problems. At first I had everyone on Innova Evo, then I tried TOTW but some of my cats couldn't handle it and they got diarrhea. Then I tried Nature's Variety which was much more expensive and some of my cats got sick. Now the oldest 4 are all on Wellness Core dry and some of the Wellness grain free dry. Storm eats 4 small feedings a day and he eats about 1/2 can per day. It's sp hard to find one food that everyone likes and does well on. Alani & Blaze have to eat a different food because they don't do well on grain free diets. Good luck with Skinny.

Ming is my UTI/Blockage kitty and I was told to put him on Rx food. I refused to do that. Moosmom (thank you so much, Donna) suggested Blue Wilderness dry and all of my cats have been on that food for over two years and Ming has not had a recurrence. I've even been able to reduce his meds by half! It's great stuff and most cats will eat it! I hope Skinny feels better very quickly!

Do any of you have good suggestions of high-quality non-prescription food for kidney-challenged cats?

Thanks,
Pat (and Sydney and Bob)
