Re: 01/14 Gentle AMPS 227

Nice start to the day! Do continue to closely monitor the numbers as you increased from 2.75u to 3.25u rather than to 3u. Can get lots of nice green off a PS like this one. :smile:

Just a quick question. Has anyone had problems getting their cat to eat the low carb food? It's not that he's not interested in food period, just the stuff he's supposed to be eating. I have tried putting tuna water, water, mixing with FF MC, little bits of tuna fish...grrr it's really frustrating, he has never been this finicky before EVER!
The good news is he appears to be fine, if not a little pur-snickety while chasing our German Shepherd around the house. If anyone has suggestions, we would so appreciate it.

Thanks for all of your input and encouragement

I'm going to assume you've tried all the usual inducements: crumbling freeze dried treats on top of food, tuna (or bonito) flakes, Forti Flora, parmesan cheese, boiled or steamed chicken, FF appetizers, etc.

Have you tried other brands of food? While my guys are pretty happy with the same food every day, other beans here have kitties that get bored with the same food. It may also be that FF isn't Gentle's cup of tea. My civie is more finicky than Gabby. He's not thrilled unless I put some dried tuna flakes or freeze dried chicken on his food as a topper or he becomes much more interested if Gabby tries to eat his food (so of course, he has to eat hers -- and it's the identical food).

looks good, I see blue yesterday! Hopefully there will be more tonight or tomorrow.
 
Hi,

It's actually the EVO he doesn't care for, FF he loves, just as long as it's the higher carb one. Hmmn... I guess we can see if making chicken for him will help.
Thanks
 
Which EVO are you trying to feed Gentle? Sasha always liked the EVO 95% duck and 95% chicken/turkey better than the 95% venison. Neither of my kitties like the regular EVO much.

Many cats like the FF low carb. Have you tried the turkey & giblets or the tender beef? Both of those are pretty popular around here. My civvie really likes the FF beef & liver.

If you are adding boiled chicken, just be sure that it is no more than 15% of the overall diet unless you add supplements, otherwise that makes for an unbalanced diet.
