Help! My beloved 4 months tuxedo male is healthy and playful, had all vaccinations. However I suspect he was weaned on human food only (the previous owner did not want to disclose information) and he refuses to eat cat food. I've had him for two months now. I've had cats before and never seen anything like it.
He will starve but will not eat supermarket cat food. I have 6 brands of unwanted catfood here at home - kitten dry food, kitten pouches, adult dry food, adult pouches, treat sauces, dreamies. He will not touch a single particle of it.
He keeps 'covering' it as it was poo - even although the litter tray is far away.
All he eats is boiled chicken. I was successful with ham before but the vet told me to stop due to the salt, so I boil plain chicken every day for this cat.
He likes milk, too. I give him goats milk and he likes it. I was also successful with the occasional salmon skin. So far I found 2 things that he would eat plus milk.
However I don't think that a diet only on goats milk and boiled chicken can be healthy. I leave him the whole day with fresh supermarket food straight from the packet and he will starve, but won't eat. I've forced him a few times, he cleans his snout but will not eat it.
Any advice? He has no interest in tuna or mince beef either.
My dream is for him to eat supermarket cat food, so I don't have to cook for him anymore.
