Musiaka most likely has ibd - he throws up hairballs and acid, if he has an empty stomach.
Recently I chose a high quality monoprotein canned food for him, planning to go kibble-free, but he won't eat the quality food. At best he will try a couple of bites. In fact he has never been a fan of meaty canned food, the one that's dense and dry-ish, which is what most high meat content foods are.
I was feeding him a recovery wet food up until now which he loved in the beginning, but must have gotten tired of as he started refusing it. Will only eat a couple of spoons if it's freshly opened.
Kibble he's more keen on, I feed him Virbac's digestive support and Musiaka seems to like it well enough. I try to limit the amount, but it's basically the only thing he eats atm.
What's funny is that we never had these issues when I used to feed him a grossery story bought wet food. Back then he was happy with his food, very little of it went to waste. He was not that interested in kibble back then either.
So once again, I don't know what to feed him. He gets hungry, starts asking for food and then it ends up being stressfull both for me and for Musiaka, because I try my best to coax him into eating wet. Sometimes he does, but most often he wont even come near it. I had some other good quality sorts at home, but he was not very interested.
A lot of his uneaten food goes to the homeless cats, I do feed them when I can, but preferable not with expensive foods I buy for Musiaka.
Should I go back to giving him commercial wet food? Or continue with good quality kibble? Or just a slightly better quality wet food, that's not found in grossery stores, but isn't the cheapest sort?
Most fancy tasty sorts you guys talk about on this forum are not available in my country and there is a large custom fee to get them shipped, so would be best with just general answers, no particular food recommendations. I can only choose from whats available to be shipped locally
