Well, first you get the cat eating - whatever they will eat - then you work
on refining what they eat to be hopefully more healthy. But if your cat just
won't do canned food, then try to get dry foods that are lower in carbs.
That sugarcats site has a listing of the various carb contents of foods, you
might check that. You might try Innova Evo, and I also just picked up some
new
Wysong Nurture, it has pheasant bits in it and is higher in protein than the
other Wysong dry foods. I am just trying it out. There is also Wysong
Archetype Burger, it is pricey but a VERY good food that is very low in carbs.
It is 99% meat, it does have a few other things to make it balanced. If I was
wealthy, I'd be feeding it to all of mine as a staple. As it is, they all
get some every day. Not all of mine love it, but most will eat it over
anything else. Sometimes they have to figure out what it is before they get
to
like it.
While carbs are not good for cats with cancer, there ARE a lot of cats that
have eaten dry food all their lives and do just fine on it - some that have
even lived on cheap dry food which is the worst - purina and meow mix and such
- so if you try to get dry foods that are higher in protein and fat and lower
in carbs, your cat will probably be fine with that. Again, it is more i
mportant to get your cat eating than it is to feed it the very best diet. The
very best diet, if they don't eat enough of it, isn't worth it!!!
