Hi Everyone!
I was hoping someone could help me, i am in quite a tricky situation.
I have two kittens, now with 8 months each, both boys.
One of them (Theo) is already castrated but it is still too soon for the second (Bubba).
After Theo got castrated, we had to change his kibble for the sterilized kind (we feed them Royal-Canin kibble, by the way, Kitten for Bubba and Sterilized for Theo).
By that time, feeding the cats was already a problem. Before, i would leave their food out pretty much all day, but now, since they eat different foods, I pretty much have to supervise the meal times, otherwise they will eat each other's food, and I don't want Theo to gain weight (he is already quite big and heavy for his age).
But now it is even worse: Bubba has grown tired of the kitten food. He eats less than half and walks away. He wants to eat the sterilized food more than his own, and I am starting to be worried that he will lose weight... He does love the wet food, but it is quite expensive, and if I give wet food to one, I will have to give it to both of them..
Now, my problem is what to do with his kibble as well! I bough a big pack of kitten food (was on sale) and now he won't eat it! He loves raw food and wet food like there is no tomorrow, so I was also wondering if I should just switch them to home-made food..
What do you think is better? Do you have any advice on what to do with the remaining kitten kibble? Should I just switch them to home-made food (I hear such horrors about kibble food being bad for cats..)?
Thanks for your help!
