Hi! I know people have different opinions on wet and dry, but I have 2 cats, Esme & Shumba, who have totally different diet preferences.
Esme, my older cat, who we have had for about 6 months is EXTREMELY picky. We went on a crazy wet food hunt to find something she wouldn't turn her nose up to. We finally got her to munch on Fussie Cat, but even after a while, she was not trying to have it, unless it was fish. So, in the mean time, I started her on Before Grain - Chicken (dry). She seems to chow down on this stuff much more than wet. I am not too concerned though because she drinks LOTS of water (she even will sneak into my cups of water over hers if I'm not looking).
Shumba, however, is totally different. We have had him for about 3 weeks and is 4yr young. He will eat pretty much anything you will put down. Wet mostly. He, is not the biggest on drinking water so I would prefer to give him wet. He seemed to really take to Weruva and/or Fussie Cat, but will graze on the dry.
So, my concern is this, with the dry, he only takes a few nibbles and for her, with the wet, she might take a few nibbles. We typically leave the food down for about 45min to give them some time to eat.
Do you have cats who have totally different diet preferences? If so, what do you do? Also, do you feed them in separate rooms (close off with a door?)?
Thanks!
