My cat doesn't like healthy food? :(?

2015-10-04 5:45 pm
My cat is 9.5 years old and she's pretty healthy, I've been feeding her fancy feast pretty much her whole life. I JUST found out how bad fancy feast really is :(
I know. It took forever.
And so I bought her blue buffalo cat food and she won't touch it.
I want her to live a long time I don't know what to give her :(

I am assuming you mean canned, and not dry? If so Fancy Feast isn't the worst food in the world, if you get the classics. The first ingredient is a real meat, there aren't that many carbs, and byproducts are farther down on the list. Is she eating the pate FF or one of the chunky ones? If so, there are chunky better foods out there. Look at Merrick, Wellness (have minced and cubes, and shredded), and Blue has their "healthy gourmet" which comes in minced and shreds. Feed her a spoonful of the new food when she is hungriest. If that doesn't work, try mixing the two. Sometimes when you are switching from a lesser food to a better one, you need to do it in stages. A decent food that *most* cats like is Petsmart's Authority brand. It comes in pate, and minced. Give that a try. And if nothing works, don't starve her to eat it as people have posted. A cat WILL starve themselves if given something they do not want. After a few days of not eating, a cat risks a type of liver failure called hepatic lipidosis (those who do not believe me are free to look it up). If the worst thing she eats is Fancy Feast canned, then so be it - there really are many worse foods out there.

We had the same problem with our older Ocicat Saphira (my avatar). She was two and being retired from breeding when we adopted her, and her breeder had her addicted to FF. We made many attempts to switch her to something healthier, tried at least half a dozen brands in a dozen flavors, but she turned up her pretty little nose at all of them, until we found the Soulistic brand at Petco. We tried her on the Good Karma Chicken flavor and she loves it to pieces, licking her plate clean. I would strongly suggest you try it, it is great food, made of human quality ingredients in a plant that also produces human food. No grains or other veggies or meat byproducts. It is the only food we feed our girls now.

If you can't get Soulistic, it is made by Weruva and I think they have a food under their brand name that is very similar.

Good luck!

She'll eat it, give her time. My sis just switched her cat from Purina to Evo and hers wouldn't touch it, a few days later she loved it.

I have 14 barn cats (one of which is 23) who thrive on purina cat chow and rodents. Give her back her fancy feast.

She will eventually eat it, she was just so used to the one brand that it's going to take a little while for her to get used to the other brand.
