Cats have a very small window to learn what is food, and it lasts about as long as mom is bringing home something for them to eat. It helps them learn what is edible in their environment. You can help an older cat adjust to new food, but it takes some patience. The website I linked above (http://www.catinfo.org) has some great tips for transitioning a kitty to a new food.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-72428954124589720652010-11-11T11:23:14.300-05:002010-11-11T11:23:14.300-05:00Thank you for putting so much effort in with these...Thank you for putting so much effort in with these kittens. The work you do humbles me.<br /><br />When my husband adopted our cat he tried to feed him raw and canned food but he wouldn't touch a bit of it. Even now he will only pick at it. So it's kibble for us, unfortunately. I wonder if that has to do with what he ate as a baby.Kristinehttp://rescuedinsanity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-28229687308337566382010-11-11T06:23:33.747-05:002010-11-11T06:23:33.747-05:00We came by from the CB too.

Herman has a sensitive stomach and the really healthy canned food makes him barf, so he gets Fancy Feast, but I do give him some high quality dry food and he likes that, as well.Karen Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532742616554346462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-61027879690828583512010-11-10T21:11:11.956-05:002010-11-10T21:11:11.956-05:00We stopped by from the CB and wanted to follow you...We stopped by from the CB and wanted to follow you so we can learn more about you guys and become friends...Our Mommy just started a new job, so we will usually comment on the weekends, but wanted to meet all you beautiful kitties today...xoxo...Calle, Halle, SukkiJacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682861905817173908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-78257855248778792322010-11-10T20:38:59.256-05:002010-11-10T20:38:59.256-05:00HI I just came over from the Cat Blogosphere to me...HI I just came over from the Cat Blogosphere to meet you! And oh I have to say I sympathize about the junk food preference. I have tried to switch my cats to healthier food - they love the dry crunchy stuff that is pretty good (blue buffalo - I haven't been able to get the totall grain free they like lately for some reason) but for canned or raw - forget it. They won't even consider raw (even the young ones who didn't have a ton of canned experience) and even when I try the healthier (and preferably grain free) canned they won't eat it. They just prefer the junky canned (it is my own fault - when their older brother got sick I did switch them to grain free and they ate it, but then when he wouldn't eat it and was loosing I got desperate I got the less healthy stuff and he went crazy for it - and so did everyone else - at least they are back up to fancy feast from the even worse stuff). I am lucky because they do eat the healthy crunchy but oh I wish they would try it when I get them the raw stuff. I can't hate on the less healthy too much, because my cats growing up ate it and lived to be 20+, but still I wish they ate better!<br /><br />Anyway, sorry to ramble - if you get the chance please stop by to meet us all at House of Cats - we are doing a commentathon tomorrow to help out shelter cats through the Santa Paws drive - every comment will get a 25 cent donation from us!Amy & the house of catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345856423713438044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-78379891549490431242010-11-10T14:38:10.849-05:002010-11-10T14:38:10.849-05:00We feel lucky that we found a holistic vet who tau...We feel lucky that we found a holistic vet who taught our Mommeh about nutrition. We usually alternate between raw medallions (chicken, beef, rabbit, bison or venison) about 5 days a week, and good canned food 2 days a week. Our current favorite is Weruva Mack and Jack. I am crazy for it! My Mommeh is sad that I ate dry food for the first few years of my life, but she didn't know better then. Your kittens are lucky!Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412703583921658038noreply@blogger.com
