Tolly and Queen Eva like, no demand, a variety in a way I've seen no other cat do.
They want a serving of this canned food, then a serving of that canned food, then a garnish of kibble to finish the last few bites, all in the one meal. The kibble is only just a few pieces. No more than half a teaspoon.
Is this bad for them, to have two or three different kinds of food in their digestive system all at the same time? It doesn't appear to bother either of them. Neither vomits, both have regular almost can-set-your-clock-by-them bowel movements.
This morning for instance, Queen Eva had her .75 oz of wellness kitten for her early morning snack. (the big cats have to wait another hour or so)
At breakfast time she had .75 oz of wellness grain free chicken, and then decided she would prefer her next serving to be .75 oz of Blue flaked chicken. She left half of that, and waited for me to sprinkle six pieces of kibble over it, and then she cleaned her dish.
Total morning intake for the baby, 2.25 oz canned plus six pieces of kibble.
That is a normal breakfast for her, though the foods vary from meal to meal.
Tolly had 1.4 oz of wellness canned chicken, then 1.5 oz of Blue flaked chicken. Another tiny amount of the Blue chicken with a garnish of kibble over it finished his breakfast meal.
Total morning intake for Tolly: 3 oz canned food with 10 pieces of kibble. Normal breakfast for him, and the foods vary, as they do with Queen Eva.
