Hi - yes it is fine to feed a completely wet diet, in fact it's very much better than feeding dried food. I aim to feed my cats only wet food plus raw / cooked meats - although they do occasionally have a bit of dry just as a treat. But too much tuna, or any type of fish, isn't really good for cats, so if at all possible you do need to add a bit of variety. The Porta 21 chicken is a complete food so in theory you should be OK just feeding that, but perhaps you could try some raw or cooked meats occasionally just for a change? Or try tempting the cats to eat other commercial foods by mixing the Porta21 with them to begin with?
I'm not sure how many cats you have (I'm guessing 2) but a 70g tin split between them, even 3 times a day, doesn't sound an awful lot to me. Porta21 does come in 400g tins, you might find those more economical!

If they are getting roughly 100g of wet food each, how much dry should I be feeding along with this?
They get either Almo Nature, Porta 21 (they'll only eat the chicken one) or Tesco Finest. As Almo Nature is complementry, should I feed more dry in proportion to this?
I can't find feeding guidelines for Porta 21 anywhere. I worry that I'm not feeding my cats enough or too much. My two only seem to eat what they need, so I use that to judge what to put down for them.
Another question - 
I'd like to feed a totally wet diet. Would it be bad for my cats to only have Porta 21 pure chicken or Tesco Finest Tuna? They are SO fussy and these are the only complete wet foods that they will eat. Would they get bored with this, and is it bad for them to feed exactly the same thing day in day out?
They are nine months old now, and I think maybe I should take them to the vet to check their weight and put my mind at rest. |
