My kitten refuses to eat dry food

Also, they have feeders that you can put wet food in and it turns on a scheduled time for you. I have two and they can be set to rotate every 6, 12 or 24 hours to the next tray of food.
There are ice packs under to keep the wet food fresh. This would be helpful for a weekend away if you needed to leave her.

Thank you. That could be a real issue and that my be a solution. I've given up on this plan. She was just too hungry. So I guess it's wet food for her from now on. She is a lot calmer when she's not really hungry. My next move is to upgrade to really premium food that has no fillers at all hoping that she'll be satisfied on less total food. I'm going to try Blue Wilderness Kitten, which is very expensive. If this works out a real benefit is that her poop won't smell so bad, which I understand might take up to a month. The litter boxes are in the basement and I've never been able to smell it upstairs until now. My other cats always at premium dry food and odor was never a problem.

Hopefully that will work for you! Yup, less fillers will be good! Hope this is a solution for you!

What kind of dry cat food were you trying to feed her? Maybe if you tried a grain free kind she might prefer it. When I was pet sitting for 2 cats and 2 dogs, I noticed that the cats didn't really like eating their dry food. I didn't even have to refill their bowls and this was from Fri.-Sun. The female cat loved eating canned food and they also both liked eating the dogs dry food which isn't good for them. I told their owners about this and when the woman came by to get her key back I showed her the dry cat food that I was feeding my cats. I also gave her a sample to take home with her. Her cats loved the new dry food. I was feeding my cats Merrick's Before Grain Salmon dry cat food. I would also feed them the chicken flavor too. I think that they were being fed Iams or Purina dry cat food which they just didn't like. I ended up pet sitting again for only the 2 cats and they would always finish the dry food so I would have to refill the bowls each time. The woman also upgraded their canned food from Iams to Fussy cat which they also love. I agree that feeding animals good quality food without all the fillers is much better for them. They will produce less waste because their bodies will absorb all the good ingredients. It may cost more but you don't need to feed them as much of it. I hope you'll be able to find the right food for your cat. Good luck.

Dry cat food was a problem for my kitten too so i gave her the junk food lol meow mix. If natasha has treats then i would pit a few pieces of kibble mixed in thats how i got sasha to eat it.
