Re: Change in Food

Are you sure its boredom, and its not because he doesn't feel like eating because he is unwell ? I would take him to the vets for a quick check up first to rule out a health issue.

Diet wise, if it is boredom, and they are like kids, LOVE something one minute and HATE it the next. I would try other varieties of good quality wet food (min 50% meat) and fresh food if he will eat it - cooked or preferably raw. I would definitely not start to introduce dry biscuits if he is not already on them as they are not good for cats - too high in carbs and leave the cat in a permanent state of mild dehydration. Too high carbs can add to obesity and heart disease, diabetes, dehydration affects kidney and urinary function making them more disposed to CRF, urinary infection and blockages.
