I have a question on raising a cat?

Question

I have a cat ,and once I got her she was eating can food ,and by the time I give her dry foods she won't eat it. Any advice on how can I get my cat back to eat her cat dry foods again?

Answer 1

You say you have a cat and once you got her she was eating can food, but by the time you gave her dry foods she wouldn't eat it? So how can you get your cat back to eating her dry cat foods again if she's never eaten them in the first place?
If you want to switch her from one to the other (and that's going to be a hard sell because cats prefer the moist, canned food over the dry food) try mixing them together for a few days, then gradually cut down on the amount of canned food you put in the mixture. Either that, or experiment with different kinds of dry foods. Cats are like people -- they don't all like the same food, so try to find one that she does like. There are moist pellets too, that are half way between dry cat food and canned food. Looks like you've got some experimenting to do!
Good luck.
PS - cats can be incredibly stubborn. If she decides she doesn't want to eat anything but canned food, then that's the end of it. Just resign yourself to feeding her canned food.

Answer 2

Ive got finicky cats myself and all they want to eat is the can cat food but ive found a way to help this problem try mixing the canned cat food with the dry cat food. You might try just taking the canned food away and just leaving the dry. If she/he is hungry enough they will eat. If nothing ive said works you might try contacting a vet they might be able to help better then I can.

Answer 3

Actually, for good nutrition, cats need both dry and canned. In the morning, set out her bowl of dry kibbles and a small portion, 1/4 of a small can of whatever cat food brand you use. Also, set a larger bowl of fresh water.

In the evening, do the same thing all over again. She'll eat the cannned stuff, but, she'll also eat the canned food as well, and that will be a balanced diet for your cat...

Answer 4

Start mixing the dry food with the canned food. Soon she will begin to eat it dry again.

Answer 5

You will just have to wait it out. My cat likes Purina, I give him a half a can of canned food in the morning, and about 6 hours later a half cup of dry food to hold him over til the next morning. But you may have to give him nothin but dry food until he gets used to it, then switch to the canned in the morning.
Canned food is good for a cats digestion because it helps with furballs so they don't get constipated. And dry food is good for their teeth.

Answer 6

If your cat will only eat wet food, that is all she will eat. I started out by feeding my gray tabby wet food. I decided to give her dry food so that both my cats would eat just one kind but it didn't work out. She was very stubborn and lost a lot of weight. She refused to eat the dry food. I caved in. It's up to you.

Answer 7

Try mixing some dry food with canned food then slowly add more dry food until the cat is conferable with it. =)

Answer 8

You need to acclimate her slowly. Add a bit of dry food to her wet food and keep dry food available for her all the time. Each day, add a bit more dry to the available pile and bit less of the wet. Eventually, you can use the wet for special treats. It does take time, but it can be done.

Answer 9

Try mixing the dry and the wet food together.

Answer 10

Try mixing some wet food with her dry food, then gradually put more dry food and less wet. I got kinda lucky my kitten doesnt like wet food at all...
