Re: *cough cough*

you need to reasses her diet and now im afraid

kitten foods are MUCH too high in fats and will cause her alsorts of problems, it also accounts for her poo problems

you need to be feeding a mix of atleast 3 different chicken based cat foods (preferably senior/mature brands)

you need to have an overall fat content of no more then 12% max (iams kitten is 22%!)
and protien of over 30%

Re: *cough cough*

Thanks Miss I did have a good read of the pack and think the same thing, but as this is what I was told she was used to and as shes still growing I thought I would be best just to let her settle.

Re: *cough cough*

It was probably best to let her settle to her new surroundings.

Now you have had her for a while it might be an idea to slowly add in a new type of food like you would with the bunnies, until you have got a completely new mix of at least 3 types of adult cat biscuits. General rule is up to 10% fat content and over 30% protein content.

Any more piccies??
