I have been trying to find a food that is not full of dyes and fillers that my cats will eat. All are formal ferals. Funny thing, They would eat anything & Everything when they were wild. Now they have developed a discriminating taste bud. Daryl was very overweight, but suddenly went 17 pounds to 8, in 8 months. After spending $ on blood tests, fecal tests etc, nothing is abnormal according to the Vet. (he is 6, not an old cat). His stools were smelly and yellow when he was on the cat foods that the supermarket carries. He had an accident (because he was so frightened) at the Vets..she stated, that was the worst bowl movement she ever smelled from any animal patient she had, ever..(we knew as soon as Dary'l left the litterbox, even upstairs and down are large, in the cats special "bathroom room) and had plastic bags there just waiting to get it out of there fast)
He recently started to avoid the commercial cat foods (I bought at the supermarket) and steal/gorge on table scraps such as chicken and salmon, then vomit it up soon thereafter. Two of the other cats would eat some of the commercial brands, then vomit.
(I was buying the higher end, well know major brands, all from little tiny cans to foil packs, not generic)
I am hoping it is just a developed food allergy to the junk in commercial cat food brands.
I bought several cases of various better "natural" brands off Amazon this month , relying on customer reviews. It has only been a week , but He (and the other five) Do like this Tiki Brand. The fact that they eat it, and it does not wind up on my floor (and sometimes on the bottom of my foot) is a blessing! Daryl's litter is not smelling as bad. Daryl has not vomited as much, and he likes the fishy varieties of this brand. He is not eating as before he lost weight, but I give him a little, he finishes it, later more etc..WE are hoping this new diet is the answer. We hope he gains weight back.
The food from this company looks more like parts of fish..something an animal should be eating.
I will keep you posted on his health update!
He also likes the wild salmon flavor.They will lick the chicken flavor, but do not finish it
Just glad they eat most of this ..they have Fromms dry available at all times, so that is perhaps the reason they are so picky, and not inhaling the canned varieties.
