I have a 10 week old kitten that has turned her nose up at anything other than Lily's Kitchen Kitten food.
When I went to visit the kitten a few weeks ago, I was told she was eating Felix and Royal Canin dried kitten food, but when picking her up at 10 weeks, was told she'd stopped touching the dried food and stopped eating Felix. She was eating Lily's Kitchen wet though, so I continued with this.
I have since tried the little diva with IAMS wet kitten food and Whiskers, as well as Royal Canin and Lily's Kitchen dried food, all to no avail. She simply turns her nose up everything else, even if she is crying at me complaining she is hungry.
I tried mixing in the two dried foods above in with her Kily's Kitchen with no success (an idea suggested to me by my vets)
Now, on one level Lily's Kitchen wet kitten food is a high quality mixture, high in meat content and low in the rubbish you find in Whiskers and Felix etc. But I do worry that Lily's Kitchen is a small brand that might not be around forever and also wish to have a kitten that can/will eat a wide range of foods, both wet and dry.
I was also hoping to ideally move her to eating dried food primarily, with wet food as a supplement/treat. Doesn't look like that will happen.
The kitten is a very good eater, she wolfs down Lily's Kitchen wet food like no tomorrow and she has gained body weight in the 6 days I have owned her (from 0.91kg to 1.05kg).
It might be that Lily's Kitchen wet food has a strong smell to it, while other foods don't smell as nice? If so, what other strong smelling kitten foods are on the market?
Does anyone have any ideas on the strategy to adopt to getting my little girl to eat other foods and not just Lily's Kitchen wet? Should I be buying one packet of every kitten food on the market and see if she will eat anything other that what she does currently? Should I be leaving other foods out and denying her access to Lily's Kitchen wet? Should I, as some sites suggest, put down less Lily's Kitchen wet and leave out another food alongside it?
