Reddit mentions: The best cat food

I have a puker. Things that really improved his pukeyness was a cat supplement that helps them with their gut. (Links below) Its advertised to help with poop issues, but will definitely help with puke issues as well.

You also need to make sure that there is NO grains in his/her food. Cats shouldn't have any grains in their food. Lots of cheap pet food use that as filler. Secondly, a lot of cheap food uses sub par ingredients. Check your cats food for chicken by product. It's bad for them. Its basically all the parts left over from taking the good stuff from the chicken. Wikipedia defines it as "It is made from grinding clean, rendered parts of poultry carcasses and can contain bones, offal and undeveloped eggs, but only contains feathers that are unavoidable in the processing of the poultry parts." Sounds pretty yucky, huh? You wouldn't eat it, so why should you feed it to your cat?
Crappy cat foods use a ton of fillers that are basically the equivalent to a bag of cheetos to humans.

Switch to a brand that is grain free and uses whole meats such as the wellness I linked below. Blue buffalo is also a good alternative. Do you feed your cat wet food? If not, try feeding a good wet food (Linked below). My cats love the core wellness wet food and really eating wet food is better than an all dry diet.

All this stuff is a little pricey, but its worth it in the long run. Taking him to the vet all the time is probably more expensive than switching to a better food. Do it slowly as well, like over a week or two.

Basically anything you can find in your grocery store's pet isle you shouldn't be feeding your pet. Its all junk. Even the "high end" purnia foods. Junk. I know purina makes a sensitive stomach formula for cats. I tried it and it didn't help my furry little puke machine at all. All these crappy foods don't really fill your cat up as much as a good food will so they will be hungrier more often because the quality of the food is just crap.

How I solved my cat puke problem was feeding them wet food in the morning and evening and leaving out a small bowl of dry food for them to snack on throughout the day. If your cat isn't really super hungry than they will eat a bit slower and that'll keep her from throwing up. Some cats don't handle the self regulating diet and instead just end up eating more food, so figure out if your cat(s) can handle grazing between wet food meals.

You can also try getting a cat water fountain and placing it somewhere separate from their water. Cats are weird and don't like their water near their food. Cats get most of their water from their food but having a flowing water source can really help them up their water intake. If cats don't get enough water they are prone to developing kidney and bladder problems. The Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain is really good. I have mine in my bathroom and my cats really enjoy playing with the water and getting their paws wet and licking them etc etc.

As for the stains, the stain remover I linked below is a god send. It's a good product that cleans up stains really well. It even does cat pee. I have light carpets and this stuff takes it right out and leaves no marks behind. It should even work on your old stains, you just have to leave it a little longer.

I know all this stuff adds up to a ton of money but its so worth it not to have to clean up cat puke all the time. I did a ton of research for my puke machine and he went from puking 3-4 times a week to puking maybe every 3 months and then its usually just a hairball. His coat also looked better and he was softer.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help you figure this out and field any more questions about how I solved my cats puke problems.

Cat Nutritional Supplements

I really appreciate all of your advice and suggestions! Our vet was wanting an ultra sound to take a better look at what is exactly going on in her liver, that way we can treat it better. However ultra sounds are so expensive and we've exhausted quite a bit of money just to get this far with this diagnosis. I will definitely call my vet and ask her about the Denamarin. I'm looking at reviews and this looks like it could be amazing for Freya!

We've also been having to get her a diuretic pill or drain her of fluid about once a month since this has started. There's been some suggestiosn that ultimately it will come to putting her down, but I cannot bring her to do it when she doesn't seem like her... quality of life is going down. She still likes to eat, play, and purrs like crazy when cuddle time comes around. The biggest issue we've noticed is ocassional episodes that last for around 24 hours, where she starts drooling, gets extremely disoriented, needs to be reminded where her box is, and refuses to eat. The vet says this is part of her liver functioning issues.

Honestly, I'd likely have to switch her over to the wet form of the food. She's reached a point where she flat out refuses dry food and even has issues eating it. It seems like it's too much effort for her. She's much happier and eats much more if I give her wet food. Her favorite food is the wet Meow Mix cups that have a higher protein.

The vet tried to put her on the Hill's Prescription Hepatic Care wet diet but she upright refused it, even if it was a tiny spoonful mixed in with her normal food, and wouldn't eat for two days until I gave her back her Meow Mix. Considering how much weight she's lost (she's about 5 pounds) I didn't want to risk her not eating. They're now having us try Hill's Prescription Critical Care.

I mixed in a good table spoon with her Meow Mix today and she chowed it down like an absolute champ.

Wall of text incoming, sorry. Just trying to give some advice that hopefully helps!:

At Sam's Club, you should be able to buy the Friskies. Usually works out to be a better deal because Fancy Feast are typically 3 oz cans vs the 5-6 oz Friskies cans, and they're pretty equivalent in quality. At my Sams Club, it's about $18 for 36 3-oz cans of Fancy Feast, but $20 for 48 5.5-oz cans of Friskies. Huge value difference. Their variety packs might have fish flavours in them though, which you mentioned as a concern. I am not sure since I don't buy them. I've never heard the fish thing before, personally. I know some shy away from fish based canned food because cats tend to get addicted to the flavour of it easily and will reject other flavours. I give the chicken soup for the cat lover's soul canned food sometimes when I don't have raw food ready for them, and it has salmon in it that they go wild for.

Friskies has more variety too. Have your cats ever eaten canned food? If not, be aware that a lot of cans don't like switching from the dry food, so you might have to do some work to make it work. There's a lot of info online about how to get cats to accept the change.

It's a really good change to make though because cats have evolved relatively little from the African Wild Cat, and they are desert animals. Desert animals get almost all their water from the water content of their prey's bodies. It's unnatural for them to get all their moisture from water dishes. You'll find when they switch 100% to canned food, they'll drink far less water out of the dish. My cats eat raw that is very moist, and I can't remember the last time I saw them drink water.

Anyway, if you want to try Friskies instead, I could suggest you add some of these links to your wishlist. They're variety packs so they would give you some choices, you might find your cats might not like different flavours or different textures (some like pate, some like shreds, whatever).

Some of these get close to matching the Sams Club price for 48 cans as well, if you wanted to just buy them regularly on there, to avoid the fish kinds. The turkey is like $11 for 24 cans, cheaper on subscribe and save etc, if you ever wanted to regularly buy it on there. If you bought three cases at a time, you'd hit the amount for free shipping ($25), etc.

Halo Grain Free Natural Dry Cat Food, Kitten Wild Salmon & Whitefish Recipe, 6-Pound Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0748F39Y9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_AZUBCbSQJK949 This is a really good kitten food and kittens should be allowed to eat as much food as they want to because they are growing so quickly. As your cat gets older near a year, based on how the cat is doing, you can start limiting the amount of food if needed under vets advice. This kitten food is grain free and made from whole meats. I did a lot of reading and finally decided on this one. My girl will not eat wet food I have bought her very expensive wet food of all types and kinds and she refuses. The argument over wet and dry food mostly centers around wet having extra moisture that cats need because they don't drink a lot but I've got a solution for that below. Also some dry foods are not made from very good ingredients but this food is really good and it is better to have a high-quality dry food than a low-quality wet food. If your cat will eat both, get the best quality you can afford in both. With kittens needing to eat frequently throughout the day it is convenient to have this high-quality dry food available at all times and feed wet food two or three times a day.

I highly recommend a water fountain to encourage water intake. If you can afford it go for ceramic or stainless steel because they stay cleaner. I fostered my girls litter from age 4 weeks and I got them a water fountain very early on. It was so cute they were mesmerized by it and everybody was drinking water all the time because it was so much fun. It is instinctual for a cat to drink from running water because in nature that is the cleanest water and much less likely to have illness causing bacteria.

Well, the wonderful folks here and r/randomactsofpetfood have taken care of food and litter for her, but if you or anyone else wanted to send them to her as well - she'll definitely need them.

The sunscreen is definitely huge for her, because she can't leave the house without it even on cloudy days, but I know she needs other things like laundry detergent - I just don't know what sort she uses. If you are interested in helping out, PM me, and I'll let you know what she says when I hear back from her.

Thank you so much :)

I don't know how to say this without sounding too jerky, but I think you might want to add some foods that cost less (make sure they are Prime). Your listed foods are those that we feed our indoor pets & it's ok to feed our ferals high quality when we have the money to do that. I think by putting huge bags of Friskies on your list will only help the cause & keep your cats going. And I'd give to that cause! I have to save the pricey stuff for my cats, hope you understand & hope that helps!

Also, I feed my ferals this: Note it's cheaper than your listed brands, but 15lbs vs 5lb foods you listed

I use Instinct Original Grain Free Recipe Natural Dry Cat Food by Nature's Variety. Subscribe and save for an extra buck ninety off. Kitteh loves the stuff. She's a lazy house cat, but self regulates her feeding is not overweight at all. Been using it for about a year and a half and am just finishing my third bag.

Edit to note: The linked product is not the formula I've been feeding Kitteh. It's a re-formulated product. I'm going with Instinct Ultimate Protein Grain Free Recipe Natural Dry Cat Food by Nature's Variety on my next order.

Edit 2: After reading the reviews, Instinct Original Grain Free Recipe Natural Dry Cat Food by Nature's Variety Rabbit Formula has more actual meat in it. The Ultimate Protein Formula's second ingredient is tapioca. I put in a subscription for the Rabbit Formula.

Calvin unfortunately only eats dry food. I've tried getting him on wet food because I firmly believe it's much healthier, but he's never really taken to it. Even worse, he really only likes kitten food, which has more fat than normal dry food, and he's a bit.. chunky.

Marcel like wet food, and will eat canned food, but he strongly prefers the Whiskas wet food packets, which works out well for me since they're much easier to open and serve than cans. He prefers the sauce over the solid bits, so the saucier the food the better. If I could find a 'cat soup' I'm sure he'd love it.

My boyfriend recently got into NYU for graduate school so we went to visit new york city and spent some time there! The school is really beautiful and I am just really excited for him because he wanted to get in so badly! So its just been a lot of excitement and the trip was really fun because it was a beautiful day out and a big difference from my normal day of sitting in class for 9 hours straight!

If gift cards count then I would love that as I am saving up for this $60 textbook I need, but I would also love this cat food to donate to my local animal shelter!

Can I ask why you think cats need to eat meat?

When I ask that there tend to be three groups of answers:

The least informed people say "cats are obligate carnivores", not even understanding that "obligate carnivore" is just a synonym for "needs meat" so nothing additional has been explained.

The group of people who know a little bit about the subject will claim that cats require taurine.

The most informed group of people will claim that cats require preformed Vitamin A, Arachidonic Acid, Vitamin D3, L-Carnitine, and the right amount of magnesium to prevent the serious problems that can occur from its lack (hyper-excitability, soft tissue calcification, metaphysos swelling) or its surplus (uralthiasis and cystitis).

These last two points are entirely true, cats do need to have all of these needs met, but there have been widely available vegan cat foods such as Ami-cat that have been on the market for over a decade now that meet all of these needs.

While it is easy for people to lie online, it is not difficult to find many people who claim to have been feeding their cats Ami Cat Food for years without issue. I have been able to locate a few pictures of veterinary blood test results that people claim are for their vegan cats.

EDIT: People are aggressively downvoting this while not adding any replies, so I'll add that I do not have any cats, do not have any desire to adopt a cat, and do not feel that this point is particularly important to the ethics of veganism. My only interest in this subject is a desire to know the truth, and while public opinion is clearly on one side, the reasons that at least most of those people hold to justify those views don't hold up to scrutiny.

Definitely grain/gluten free; first ingredient some "real" meat/fish. I have several foods on rotation, to mix things up and to discourage foodsnobbishness. Right now, it's this:

tend to switch it up a bit, free feeding high quality dry and offering wet in the a.m.

Some of the dry food my monsters seem to like:

They also LOVE Merrick's Before Grain -- and it's a good value:

http://www.amazon.com/Merrick-Before-Grain-Chicken-Pound/dp/B001709GF2/ref=pd_sim_petsupplies_2

awesome! and yeah, it really is surprisingly affordable especially with only one kitty. i narrowed it down a bit since you can order online, i would consider this, this, or this. come to think of it, i was able to successfully transition a carb addicted cat to blue buffalo easily enough. hope that helps a bit!

I had to deal with this a few years back (actually now that I think about it, over a decade ago. I miss you, Oatmeal). The liquid they usually give is Lactated Ringer's. The expense isn't bad. It's mostly sugar-water, and needles are dirt cheap. You'll have to stop by the vet every couple of weeks for a new bag and some new needles, and to properly dispose of the old needles.

Three times a week I would have to hold her down, scruff some of her back skin, put a rather large needle in and let the fluids go for about 10 minutes. Your cat will enjoy this just about as much as you will. Some cats will get better if you do this regularly, some won't. My Oatmeal didn't get better, but she stopped getting worse (due to her kidney trouble, she did eventually pass just from age). All told, I was doing this 3 times a week for about 3 years. I usually gave her some kind of treat after.

Some things I'd recommend that I've learned since then, and you should apply this advice only where it does not conflict with what your vet is telling you. At the time, I was feeding Oatmeal just about the worst stuff you can feed, and wasn't adding water. Start buying this stuff to feed to her, and add water to the mix (mix just as much water as food). The most important thing is to get water into her so her kidneys have a much easier time doing their job. And this is really good food, like the best you can do for your cat short of either grinding up rabbits and chicken yourself, or buying live bird/mice. One whole can is probably too much for her at a time, so invest in those little tops you can pop on to save the rest.

Sounds like you might have tried it, but this Natural Balance is pretty good on restrictive diets.

Also, that look. You could be in trouble, hope you don't wake up to any "gifts" in your bed from her.

Good Luck!

1. Ferret math means you'll rarely have one animal. I'm not just saying this to be cute; ferrets are extremely social animals, and if you don't (or can't) provide them with regular interaction they will not be happy, healthy creatures. Please do consider a pair of ferrets; the upkeep isn't significantly greater and it will be a better experience for both animals. That all being said, the Ferret Nation Habitat is a very popular and sturdy cage for one or two animals. They also sell a dual-level model, and these can be expanded with additional units.
   
2. You'll get a great deal of discussion about this. My personal preference is SwheatScoop unscented. It is a wheat-based clumping litter with low dust and, as a bonus, can be safely flushed down the toilet. Should you go looking at other options you'll want to be sure to avoid anything with perfumes/scents, and anything clay-based.
   
3. My ferrets adore and thrive on Wellness CORE original formula. Don't balk at the price; it takes my three ferrets about about 4-6 weeks to go through a 12 lb bag so you're looking at about 33¢ per ferret per day. There are other options out there; avoid anything that isn't at least 35% meat-based protein, anything that has sugar or sweeteners, and anything that has grain or grain product as the primary ingredient.
   
4. Treats are tricky as you don't want to give them anything that's patently unhealthy. In the past (before I knew better) I would give my ferrets Honey Nut Cheerios, peanut butter, raisins, and a bunch of other things. They loved it but it really wasn't healthy for them at all. Most ferrets like a squirt of Ferretone every now and then. Freeze-dried meats and jerky products are good, but again avoid things with added sugars and salt (honey and molasses finds its way into many pet jerky products). Once in awhile I'll slip my ferrets a little bit of cooked hamburger or roasted turkey but that's hit or miss. Remember: Ferrets are total carnivores!
   
   Though you didn't ask, I'll volunteer: Be very careful when giving your ferret(s) toys to play with. Avoid anything made of foam, for example; chewed pieces can get caught in their intestinal tract and cause serious problems. For similar reasons, avoid anything that has pieces which can be chewed off (e.g., a plastic eye); anything with plastic bits (like ribbons); and all kinds of squeaky toys and things made of thin rubber. Good toys: Cardboard tubes and boxes. Ping-pong balls. Super Thru-Way. Cotton rope toys. Large towels. Small cotton unadorned stuffed animals.

Give her anything he likes. It's contrary to our goals of giving healthy foods but ultimately any food is better than no food.

Canned tuna, shrimp, fish, and stage 1 meat baby foods always tempted my CKD cat in a pinch. I sometimes pureed them in a blender with Fancy Feast; other times, I gave them as is, maybe minced and bound with an egg yolk if needed. When the situation was dire, I also gave liquid CliniCare and CatSure as a treat or blended with wet food boost calories. Pure bonito flakes are also like kitty crack and can be crushed on top of food or given directly.

Re the constipation: It was an ongoing challenge with my cat. If it's ongoing with yours, you might talk with your vet about mixing canned pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) to her food. A can costs a buck or two, it can be frozen in ice cube trays, and a teaspoon or so a day could work wonders. MiraLAX is another option but sticking with wet foods and trying pumpkin first is probably best.

I live in Arizona. Winters here are amazing and my most favorite thing about living here. To be able to go outside without being all bundled up is pure joy.

Should I be chosen, I'd appreciate a little treat for my foster babies. Thank you for the contest!

My cats go wild over Inaba Churu liquid treats. Pick up the syringes and feed her water angled at the side of her mouth (don't just shoot it directly in, there should be quick videos you can watch). Getting her water is more important than slight trauma but you can make it as non traumatic as possible - baby talk her the whole time, sort of sing song it as you're giving her the water, and don't give too much at once. Then follow up with a liquid treat or tuna if possible to reward her. Good luck!!

We've been doing Core Wellness dry food on a subscription from Amazon the last few months. http://www.amazon.com/Wellness-Grain-Food-Original-Recipe/dp/B001BOVE54/ref=sr_1_2?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1373340748&sr=1-2&keywords=grain+free+cat+food

Wag.com has some great coupons for first time orders, but after that we found amazon to be a better price (we have a prime membership for free shipping).

Thanks for the response! I have read that before on various posts made by others as well which is why I was transitioned from this cat food: natural instinct raw boost only this only in the mornings and wet food in the evenings.

It's tough having to do all that while getting ready for work in the morning a pure lazy thing I guess..I am going to start by giving them pure wet food on weekends! Any recommendations by the way? At the moment I'm feeding them this wet food

But I'm not sure if it the best? What is raw diet? Any recommendations?


The tower tracks is now in my amazon cart :)

Unfortunately the little dude cries nonstop until the balcony door is open. I'm going to look up how to make a catio and well..make one lol. I understand the danger as he's been over the ledge a few times and I live on the 5th floor apartment..Now I'm constantly outside whenever he is outside..although that can get annoying..

We have two cats who have been on Ami Cat for two years. We have had this OKed by two different vets. FWIW, one cat had a lifelong itchy-rash on his neck that went away after we began feeding him the vegan cat food. Correlation does not equal causation, but I thought it was interesting that it happened around the same time.

We have the means to purchase this food, so we do it. I'm sure there are cheaper ways. In the end, I don't want to kill other animals just because I want to keep the one in my house alive when I don't have to.

I get my baby Natures Variety Instinct. It's a little expensive but it's really good for them (: I get him the Instincts raw boost dry food and also the wet food. Personally I feed my kitten wet food two to three times a day and leave the dry food out for him at all times.

Those are the amazon links btw, but i get his food at Petsmart.

I agree with others that you should take him to the vet and get him checked as cats don't show when they're in pain. Also, I suggest searching up on cats and seeing what they like, what they're supposed to eat, etc.

I get this brand on Subscribe and Save. Each flavor counts as an item so it's not too hard to get the maximum discount. It's the least expensive 95% meat food I have found.

There's a lot of nutrition in this food, so its real price is lower than it may seem on the surface. I feed 2-3 cans/day for 3 cats depending on impending chonk status.

I used to make raw food, but I only had one cat at the time. If you have the motivation, try it (use a supplement mix!). I had great results.

Kitty food for Admiral Coolcat, $10 gift card to get me to $60 for headphones (to help me cope with SPD), and chemical exfoliating pads or this gel to clear up the cyst that's been in my cheek since about 8th grade...

You are so wonderful for hosting this, seriously. <3

I would love some kitten food for the foster kittens.

Thanks for the contest :)

Yeah, I know. They actually do need nutrients found only in animal meat, unlike us. The one I know offhand is taurine.

But there are vegan cat foods.

To quote someone else:

> "It takes a little perspective to see that food really is made out of chemicals. It is reduce-able, and we can build it back up. And we can change it, and we can make it better.

I already admitted that feeding cats plant-based cat food is something you'd want to be careful with. Keep contact with the vet. Make sure their bloodwork is good. And if they for some reason can't be healthy on that food, then they need animal-based food and there's nothing that can really be done about that at this point.

Try a different brand or texture? My cats only like minced. They'll barely touch paté or shredded. You should also look into treats like Churu Lickable Purée. Wet food is super important to a cat's diet and it helps stave off kidney failure which affects A LOT of cats who only eat kibble and will shorten their lifespan dramatically.

I think the most important thing on my wishlist right now is: Kitty food because I plan on getting a kitten soon, at least by my birthday, unless I get all the supplies I need before then, then I can get a kitten before then. If that makes any sense.

But I know that the kitty food isn't the cheapest, so, if I do win, anything on my wishlists would be nice, so yea. Thanks for the contest :D

Yeah, this. Plus it's not something new and experimental, this particular brand is there for some time and as you can see here, for example, people and their cats are quite happy about it. Some say they use it for years and the cats are healthy.

It last about 2-3 months, and it's only $30. You can ask him for 15-20$ to chip in for a huge bag, Royal Canin is about $35 on Amazon for a huge bag.

I mentioned this in my other reply, but our normal vet highly suggested switching our cat to wet food.

This is what he eats now - http://www.amazon.com/Whiskas-Pouch-Variety-Pack-Food/dp/B005DL797S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417546613&sr=8-1&keywords=whiskas

The emergency vet tried to convince us to use prescription wet food, but our normal vet said any wet food is fine. It helps keep them more hydrated, which prevents the blockage.

I need help this month. I need cat food, it is located on my WL called "Pets and Animals"

I was able to get freezer foods, some veggies and gas for myself and small human (which is why i don't have regular food items on my WLs). I'm still going to work - just waiting for my last month's paycheck.

Pre-thanks to anyone who is willing/able to help <3

I like wellness and they sell them in the 12.5 oz cans https://www.amazon.com/Wellness-Complete-Natural-Food-12-5-Ounce/dp/B000WFORH0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467522098&sr=8-1&keywords=wellness+grain+free+wet+food+cats

If your kitty is getting more water from a fountain, then they don't necessarily need wet food. Just be sure to feed them a high-quality grain-free dry food and they'll be good to go.

Here's what I use:

have you tried giving him liquid food like CliniCare or CatSure?

The best stuff we've found for our two picky princesses is Taste of the Wild. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0018CJYCO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1377729396&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165

Sorry for the long link, posting from phone.

Kitty food is always needed at my house!

Thanks for the contest!

Also where are you getting those prices? You can get 10 kg for 77$ here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00ENMH12Q/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new or 16 pound for 67$ here: https://www.amazon.com/AMI-BA111-Ami-3-3lbs-1-5kg/dp/B018K4OG9I/ref=pd_rhf_eeolp_s_pd_crcd__1/132-3227011-1679531?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01B2XPEFO&pd_rd_r=8d298b62-cad7-4268-8d7b-1677f15d94f6&pd_rd_w=cIdpm&pd_rd_wg=hNxTG&pf_rd_p=c6269878-d677-4a89-a68c-ff0df2b6ce6c&pf_rd_r=MX3BTVM8GP247SQ5YH75&refRID=MX3BTVM8GP247SQ5YH75&th=1 Both of which seem like reasonable prices for high quality cat food.

Looks like its gonna cost me $150 a month to feed my 2 cats =(

Some cat food. My cat eats grain-free, and a change will upset his little cat stomach an awful lot. But a recent unexpected bill has made it so hard to buy some, and I don't want him to ever go hungry. I'm portioning it out as best I can now, but it won't last long.

I'm almost out of cat litter even more than I am out of food, though. Either one, really. I'm Turking as fast as I can. God, I don't deserve to be a cat mom.

Feeding your cat only dry food is fine, thousands upon thousands of people do it. We feed our cats one wet can a day, lunch time, and have a big bowl of dry food out all day for them to eat at their leisure (this only works if you have cats that dont gorge).

Right now for cost reasons we use kirkland brand dry food from costco. On a better budget we were using Taste of The wild dry food. Taste of the wild is made with zero grain, and grain in dry food is what makes it bad for cats in the first place. When looking for a dry food, just try to find grain-free, or little of it.

Cats are not omnivores. Other than the occasional grass/herbs for medicine, they are 100% carnivore. If you're feeding your cat a food made with grains (99.9% of all dry, and a vast majority of canned), you are doing nothing but making them fat and sick. I have three cats, and an 11 pound bag of this grain free cat food lasts almost two months. I never let their bowls become empty, they eat all they need and don't overeat. They are slim, healthy and don't hack up hairballs/piles of food every other day like they used to.

I just went through this with my kitty with Lymphoma. I ordered this and this. I had to syringe feed mine in the end- just heat it up in the microwave for about 10 seconds, mix with a little water if needed, and suck it up into the syringe, then give a little at a time slowly into the side of their mouth (put some in, let them swallow and take a breath, repeat). You need to give a good 3-4 syringes full twice a day. You might also ask your vet about an e-tube.

Sometimes cats don't like when their whiskers touch the edge of the bowl, try feeding him out of a saucer or larger flat plate. You could also try microwaving it for a few seconds to get it smelling even more fragrant. There is also Fussie Cat which is a junkier type of food but it gets them eating. You could try mixing some in with his regular food.

Why do you not think so? I'm not sure how much research you have done and maybe you know something I don't, but I'd recommend going through this:

Just got my cat's blood work back, and he's still got a clean bill of health. People still call me abusive for feeding my cat a plant-based diet fortified with all the micronutrients he needs to thrive because they'd rather I feed him dead chickens and fish.
