Help! I have taken custody of a 9 yr. old cat who has been fed soft and hard food every day for his entire life. The owner changed brands frequently, always buying the cheapest available.
I have found that the soft food gives kitty gas and the runs. I have moved him to "Purina One Special Formula" hard food only. He liked it at first but now 3 weeks later refuses to eat it.
I don't know what to do - should I go back to the soft food (maybe the hard is difficult for him to eat)? Yet, I don't want to give in to tantrums, either. Plus it seems that the soft food isn't as nutritious as the hard.
I always thought that you should feed cats the same food every day otherwise they become finicky eaters - true or false?
