The main reason why the switch to wet food is recommmended is that it gets more fluid into them and helps prevent crystals (FUV I think it is, only the female cats get cystitis.) To reach a happier compromise with Jerry try using a little off the boil water from the kettle on his dry food, it must be warm for Jerry to smell it and start lapping it up, my girl finds it hard to eat dry but laps up this mixture. This way Jerry will still get the taste of his dry food he loves so much but not the crunch. (I put what he doesn't eat out for the birds, the magpies love soggy cat food!) If he still wants the crunch try water bowls around the house to encourage ease of drinking and change the water at least every day. Jerry may be able to have a few hand fed biscuits as treat if he is encourged to drink more, just a thought. |

He's a real good drinker since I got a water fountain 2 years ago and I always add water to his wet food but he won't touch the dry if I put water in it. I have in the past thought of putting on to a raw diet and am going to go for it now! He didn't touch his food last night or this morning so that's 2 lots of medication he's not had!(he's far from stupid, he knows I've put something in it lol)! I've been speaking to a family member in America who have always fed their animals raw, she advised to try Jerry with a bit of raw mince first. He is currently stuffing his face and not seeming to care about the 2 crushed up tablets mixed up with it! We may be in to a winner here!! |
