hello!
I have a 4-year-old grey tabby cat. She is very congenial, friendly, and grew up living around other cats and dogs. She gets used to other animals very quickly.
Because of a cross-country move, my parents are going to be looking after my cat for a couple months this summer. They have a 14-year-old female grey tabby who is gentle and sweet but also quite shy.
I'm not worried about the two cats getting along - I'm sure they will in time and with some patient introductions. However - I am concerned about diet.
The 14-year-old cat has some kidney issues and is on Hill's k/d dry food (free feeding). My cat currently eats California Natural dry adult cat food (free feeding - she hates wet food).
Now I know both cats will chow down on anything put in front of them, and I'd ideally like the two cats to share the same food this summer as keeping them on two separate bowls seems really difficult. Is Hill's k/d safe for a younger cat (4 years) who doesn't have any kidney problems? Is it dangerous? Though she is younger, it's not like she's a kitten.
Any opinions greatly appreciated!
Thanks
