Hi. Two dietary questions:
My cats wont drink water, I bought a fountain and they still weren't interested. I switched to wet food and it's not been an issue. I'd like to go back to kibble and free feed during the day, and help strengthen their teeth. Will cats start drinking water if they don't get wet food? I'm nervous to try. Or just abandon the thought of dry food all together?
Also, after eating wet food twice a day, one cat runs around in the back of the house yowling and I think she might be in pain. She does gulp her food down instead of slowly licking like my other cat does. They don't eat next to each other.
So, think I should switch to a different wet food? They share a 5oz can of Friskys Pate poultry platter in the morning and another shared can at night. 5 total ounces a day per cat. Both cats are 5 yr old females (not litter mates). Digit is 12 lbs and eats at normal pace, S'mores is 8 and she's the one who yowls after eating. Both cats are healthy weights.
I feel like I should try a diff wet food to see if she's more comfy but don't want to break the bank. Friskies Poultry Platter is roughly .60 for a five ounce can. I'm spending $1.20 a day to feed both. A total of $40 a month. Got any suggestions ?
Sorry for the long post. I did a search before asking but didn't find much. Thanks!
