My crew are such picky little snots, especially my little diva kitten
Initially, Aggie took to raw, but didn't like EZ complete. I went on the hunt for something new she would like and finally found a pre-made she would eat (Quest) until she started turning her nose up at that too. She now will eat wet food (somewhat.... mostly just licks at the gravy and won't touch pate), but I feel like she misses her raw, even though she regularly will still turn her nose up at it, leaving me to toss it. She will nibble on dry food, but it's not her favorite.
3 of the 4 cats do like freeze-dried, but I've found that none like it when I rehydrate it, and again it goes to waste. I started leaving it out dry, and not adding water to it. I know the benefits to adding water, but they won't touch it unless it's dry.
How bad is it, in your opinion, to let them have it dry? I leave it out for them to graze on like I do dry food. Would giving them the freeze-dried as be the equivalent of dry food, from a moisture standpoint? All 4 cats love drinking out of my bathroom sink and our morning routine is for me to leave the faucet on for them, so I feel like they are getting a good amount of water. I've had cats with crystals in the past, so I'm super paranoid.
Also, I'm so thankful I have a dog to minimize some of the food waste.... at least she gets to enjoy it
