Perserverance.

What food were they licking the jelly off? If Whiskas, Felix etc these foods only have 4% meat in them so they are right really not to eat it. Have you tried Hi-life, Natures Menu, Nature, Tesco's Luxury/Finest etc. Have you tried raw - it's really cheap to feed raw I find ( Food4-Cats!, Just Food for Cats Nothing More! )? Dry isn't good as it is too dehydrating - cats have no thirst drive as they have evolved to get all their moisture from their food and so rarely drink enough to compensate for the dry's effects. Neither does it clean their teeth as it shatters when they bite it - a raw chicken wing IS great for teeth cleaning.

I have had probs with Hills dry as Gil cant stomach any grain/wheat/rice etc so it upsets his tummy. Applaws do a really good complete dry food which i cereal free and has 80% chicken content... Have just bought some to try on the recommendation of others on here. Also, have started giving my two Bozita as its 93% meat content and really good value for money and they LOVE it... Am going to try raw chicken wings next i think!

My two drink a lot now they have milk at night before bed time and drink water through the day. They used to have whiskas as that is what they were brought up on! So no one feeds their cats on science plan then?
Do I not need to get to the adaquete weight for Honey before I remove any food from them as she loves these biscuits and feel it may harm her as she is quite underweight

See my reply above - re we fed ours science plan. George loves it and eats it as a treat. But Gil cant stomach it. I wouldnt remove food if she is eating, let her grow a bit and slowly try getting her onto whatever it is you want her to eat... If she is healthy and happy on what she is having then thats fine. And sounds as if she is drinking plenty but just keep an eye out for dehydration signs if she is on 100% dry. )

Would love to know what everyone else feeds their cats so I can look into slowly introducing a new food!

I'm going to try mine on Hills kitten but the wet food but they are currently on hills i/d as they are having tummy troubles, I did have them on hi-life but was told that this was too higher protien for them

GreyHare - have had exactly the same issues as you re tummy probs and Hi-life... Although i think it was the dry that caused it not the wet... I have mine on Hills Prescription ID and they're fine but its VERY costly! So am slowly putting them onto Bozita and also going to try Applaws 80% meat dry food as a treat. I dont think its the protein thats the prob but the filler they add into some foods - but that could just be for my kittens and not a general thing.

we tried hills kitten biscuits, upset their tummies
as does hi-life and purely

currently using bozita wet and applaws kitten dry

My kitten is on Kitten Hiils and she loves it. Tried Whiskas and IAMS (which she hasn't touched) I remember researching and Hills most of the times was coming out as the best dry food.. Have doubts now as seeing people not very keen on it.. Have a 10 kg bag of it too..Gosh ) But she really tucks into it and drinks roughly 2 medium bowls of water daily.. On Whiskas she had runny poos and looked bloated to me, but now her stool is stable, since I changed to Hills.. What would you recommend as a good option for a 5-6mnth old kitten?
