We are trying to figure out what to feed our three cats. Right now we feed them two meals a day and a bedtime snack. The meals are 2- 2.5 oz friskies seafood varieties and the snack is less than 1/3 cup meow mix. One cat is about a year and a half and the other two, which are 6 1/2 months, are her babies. We also leave out a dish of dry for the kittens to free feed ( in a place where the mom can't get to it).
When we first got them the mom, Bub, had seriously loose stools- we figured out that she has trouble with poultry. So we looked through the friskies varieties and decided on the seafood pate varieties ( 13 oz cans). They still have some poultry in them, but it is much farther down the list. The meow mix has a lot of poultry in it, but it doesn't seem to bother her much.
Last week we fed them the salmon variety all week and all three of them developed really loose and stinky stools. We switched them back to the mariner's catch variety and they have gotten better, still stinky, but firm. Yesterday we feed them the whitefish variety and the little girl ( who has always been more picky) threw up and refused to eat anything all night. This morning she was ravenous.
I am wondering what varieties/ brands of canned food are best for a cat who can't eat poultry but aren't too expensive. Also, are there any dry foods without poultry? I did some looking but it seemed that all of them had poultry.
