I've had Asha on a mix of high quality canned (90% meat on average) and freeze dried raw for a while. She loves both types of food and isn't what I'd call a picky cat - though she definitely has favourites which change from time to time.
I've gradually been working on my family about switching to frozen instead of freeze dried raw, and was so excited yesterday when they finally gave in.
I duly bought and defrosted a little frozen raw and offered it to Asha tonight. No dice. She took a few suspicious bites, then rejected the food. Later on I tried mixing it half and half with her favourite canned. Same deal
Is this normal? Asha took to the freeze dried raw right away with no hesitation. The frozen raw is identical to her freeze dried in terms of recipe. Just to be sure, I just gave her the freeze dried version of the raw I offered her. Clean plate, no hesitation :confuse3:
Do I give up on frozen, or keep trying? I've never done this before. I just want to do what's best for her.
(I'm not even offering Shadow the frozen raw - he wants nothing to do with the freeze dried and, at 13, I figure he's too old to change. I've got him off junk food onto decent canned, but I don't think I'll get any further with him.)
