Question

Anyone out there Know how hard it is for persians to pick up their food with their flat little faces and they are such fusssssy eaters.. I have given tons of food away and they wont touch wet food and I have heated their food ..the only food they like is T/D but it tends to be constipating?? Any persian cat people out there that can help I would love to know what to do

Answer 1

Hi,

I have a solid Persian but I haven't had any problems with her eating habits. Maybe your Persian pals are just fussy eaters and need a little something extra to give their food a kick.

I'm a member of www.Persian-cats.com There are some recipes on the board added by other members and they are pretty 'different'. I tried the Kitty Taco and my persian loved it!

Give it a go, or why not try to make your own recipes now and again with things that your cat does like. Try adding a teaspoon of cod liver oil/mineral oil to their T/D which will help with the constipation problem.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

ok its hard to reccommend a brand without knowing what country you are in
Austria?? Argentina?? Australia??

the problem is the pushed in faces make the food harder to smell and smell is a key to liking a food...
select one with CHICKEN MEAL, TURKEY MEAL, or LAMB MEAL as first ingredient...
it should contain BEET PULP to help with hairballs...
many foods...(and all from grocery or Wal Mart) are crap

ok also remember Persians eat less food than most cats as they are less active, if you feed a good food the cat will eat less... most cats WILL NOT starve themself so even if she only nibbles a bit... eventually she will be hungry enough - if you keep switching its hard on her tummy
make sure her teeth are good.. some people think the cat food is the problem but infact the cat has a sore tooth

Ask your vet.

He/she should know, give the vet a quick call.
