I have 2 cats - my 11-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy. They are currently free fed and I'd like to get them on a schedule and better food. So here goes...
1. I want to get them on a schedule. How many times a day do you feed your cats? What's the best way to transition them from free feeding to a schedule?
2. I'm trying to get my senior girl to eat canned food. She just tries to bury it. In the meantime, what's a good kibble choice? Generally, are grain-free foods with peas and potatoes better OR are foods with grains better?
3. My 7-year-old boy is on Hill's Prescription Diet c/d food (dry and canned) after becoming blocked. It doesn't seem to be high quality. There are a ton of carbs in both. Is there a better option? What exactly is in the food to prevent/break up crystals?
4. Are there any supplements you recommend for either as they are getting older? Anything to help with joints, urinary health, probiotics, etc?
