A little background on Goblin:
I got him as a kitten, and he's just turned six. Over the years, we've done some food transitions: started with cheap dry food which is what he ate when I got him, to higher quality dry, to Friskies canned, and now to Weruva canned.
He's a herpes cat, but rarely has outbreaks (usually once a year or less.) Otherwise, he's in good health besides some allergies (ear infection, itchy skin, occasional vomiting) that I believe was brought on by the Friskies as I haven't seen these symptoms after one shot of depo medrol and the switch to Weruva.
Problem is, he's not crazy about the Weruva. He'll eat it, but begrudgingly, and since it has a lower caloric content, I'm afraid he isn't getting enough nutrition. I was recently given a sample of Primal FD nuggets and he seems to really like them... as long as they're dry. He won't touch re-hydrated FD food. (Nor will he touch Rad Cat, NV frozen raw, or Stella and Chewies, even if I add Pure Bites on top which he loves. He just licks it off.)
He doesn't drink water, except for when I lift him to the counter and let him drink from the faucet and only then, he just takes two or three laps and he's over it. So I know I can't feed him dry FD food exclusively. Would it be all right if I mix dry crumbles of the Primal into his Weruva? I usually add water to the canned food, which he thinks is great, he loves licking up the gravy. Would adding a nugget of Primal into the Weruva balance the calorie content he's used to getting from the Friskies?
Thanks!
