Okay, so I went to the pet shop today and they are out of the cat food I normally buy. Ah. I spoke to the guy who owns the place, as I was worried that meant that they were going to stop stocking it, but no - they are just waiting for the shipment to come in over from England (it is a small pet food company).
So here is my dilemma. Whilst they are out of my normal cat food, they do have a light version of the cat food in stock. My cats are not overweight at all - only 8 months old and very active. Is it okay to give them light cat food for a few days until they get their stock of regular cat food in? This is the only pet store in my area that sells this food, so I can't buy it elsewhere (and I have no car, so I can't go searching for it...). I don't want to change their food entirely for a few days only to just go back to the other food - I am really happy with the company and the cats like the food. Any advice? I have enough of the normal stuff to fill their dishes today, but after that...well, they are going to need something!
