My 6 year old male cat is a bit of a picky eater, let alone the fact that he has no teeth to eat with... I am having a bit of trouble keeping weight on him, and I'm hoping someone can suggest something for me.
Here are his restrictions;
- All teeth were removed because of decay, abcesses and ulcers
- Lives in a barn, so he runs around on his own accord from 8am to 1pm (after that he lives in a heated tack room by himself)
- Active in hunting, but because of the lack of teeth, is unable to kill and eat anything
- He is fully "intact" as he does not spray or wander, nor does he ever have interest in females (follows me around all day)
He eats one kind of canned food only, others he refuses to eat any of it. He likes gravy and chunks from Friskies, chicken flavour. The can reccomends feeding 1/2 can each day in two feedings. He eats a whole can in a day in two feedings! He eats the gravy and chunks, doesn't leave anything. I cannot seem to keep a good weight on him, so I'm looking for a weight booster or something? Maybe a higher protein or fat content in something similar?
Any suggestions?
