@catherinekittykat 3 года назад
U have good brands there and I agree with variety for various reasons. My cat loves the Waruva pouches the best of any food and I've spent tons of money on her picky and sensitive self. I throw so much away because she won't eat. Its stressful because the only kind she eats eagerly (even purrs when she sees pouches) and eats completely, but she gets soft stools and diarrhea. Its so difficult to waste so much money and it go down the disposal. I'm guessing your cats are not so sensitive picky?? Thank you! I subscribed.
@Floppycats
@Floppycats 3 года назад
no, luckily mine aren't sensitive in the stomach department. but they do go in and out of being interested in certain flavors. have you seen this video for diarrhea - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sCXFFu7GZ1Q.html

Hello, I have a question I don't see brought up a lot. How did you get your cats used to the rotational feeding different brands/protein sources? Lots of people say you need to gradually transition from one food to the next over the course of a week, but it seems like you don't do it that way. How did you get to that point? Did you have any issues with GI upset due to the constant brand changes? I want to rotationally feed because its not only good for a varied diet but it's also great for the wallet when different brands suddenly go on sale too. I don't want to be restricted to one food if I can help it.
@Floppycats
@Floppycats 2 года назад
I don't fully recall, honestly. Maybe I introduced one new can at a time? i think we might have had some diarrhea, but again, don't recall it being bad. i think i also used probiotics at the time.

How do you deal with sensitive tummies? If I don’t slooowly switch foods over several days (even same brands, diff proteins) they end up with soft/sticky poops that stick to their butt fur.
@Floppycats
@Floppycats 4 года назад
luckily mine don't have that problem - probably from probiotics. but you can always transition really slowly - below is from our page: www.floppycats.com/best-canned-cat-food.html In most case a 7-day transition is ideal, but in drastic changes 10 days or more is suggested 2-3 days: 75% old food, 25% new food 2-3 days: 50% old food, 50% new food 2-3 days: 25% old food, 75% new food Following this plan gives your kitty’s digestive tract the needed time to adjust to the new food and minimizes the risk of an upset stomach.

I don't recommend giving your cats or kittens fancy fiest or fresikies because if you check the ingredients it says meat by products. Meat by products is very harmful for kittens or cats especially corn aswell. Remember, cats are carnivores. Do they eat corn in the wild? No. I know from my experience with my kitten. After doing alot of research and even from an advice from a veterinarian, after 3 weeks of giving my 3 month kitten cat ingredients of a cat food "Whole Paws" from whole foods, my kittens fur looked better than ever and he was so energetic and happy. You can check out they ingredients for the one brand cat food I just mentioned.

just say no to dry food - and kick it to the curb when they are young! check out catinfo.org to see why i say that. my veterinarian always told me to let a growing kitten eat as much as they wanted - as they go through growth spurts. of course, i have never had weight problems with my cats when they are NOT on dry food. dry food usually causes overweight issues. i would also look into a raw diet - as that is the ideal diet for a cat, in my opinion.

Hello, I have a ragdoll cat myself, and I need some advice :) She's about 11 months old (turning a year old in a few weeks), and has been basically living off only Royal Canin and Hills Science diet dry food her whole life. I used to get her wet food when she was younger, but stopped because most of it ended up in the trash (she eats half the amount I put in her bowl and leaves the rest. The wet food in her bowl always ends up hard and dry). Btw, she's a VERY picky eater! I occasionally give her cooked salmon, fish, beef, pork, e.t.c. but she rejects everything! I really don't want her growing up on just dry food. Your cats are all so fluffy and healthy, and I'm looking for a bit of advice haha. Any suggestions for what I should do? Also, would you say that Royal Canin or Hills Science diet dry food is better? Do you suggest any other brands (I don't really have a budget)? Thank you so much!!
@Floppycats
@Floppycats 3 года назад

no, they don't - they are very used to the switching - and that's why i do it - so their guts are used to it. but you can always ease your kitty into it - like add one tablespoon of a new food to their old food - and then slowly increase over a week - watching their litterbox - back off if they have diarrhea. does that make sense?

I’ve been reading how dry food is not good for cats. Anyway she has hardly been eating and she has lost a bit of weight. I took her to the vet because I thought she had sore gums. The vet said she has a little bit of redness along the gum line. Asked me what I feed her, she said maybe it’s too many types of cat food. She advised me to buy Hill dry food which is complete nutrition and it’s the dental cleaning food. I thought oh no I don’t want to go back to dry food. Any way I bought the pack and she eats it on and off through out the day. I also give her the raw meat patties which I thaw out. She always leaves it. She doesn’t even eat an entire patty. I cut in half and she leaves it. Those Ziwi peak cans she would only eat half of it for the entire day. She has loads of energy wants to play all the time. Since Covid I’ve been working at home and she always follows me has to be near me. So she will sleep next to me all day while I work and not eat. I’m keeping an eye on her weight.

They didn't have a choice of 100+ preys to choose from that they carefully rotated every other day. They hunted what was available, and they were good at hunting and was available to them. Some cats might've never eaten fish for example or duck because those did not exist in their environment.

@shachar2 4 года назад
the best food would be one that contains few ingredients (like around say 3-4) which are mostly meat. When that's not possible manufactures cook the meat and lose some vitamins and such so they add a lot of artificial stuff instead of the nutrients they lost (including preservative btw but I don't have an issue with those). Cats have been living on those for decades and even hundred of years so those are ok to feed your cat but be on the lookout for the good stuff in the paragraph above. And BTW: Cats do not need sugar or carbohydrates (which are sugars). any grains such as corn, beans, potatoes and more are basically carbohydrates. in percentage wise those should be in the single digits (when even %10 is approaching the lower limit of too much carbohydrates which is at the range of %10-%15) so that's the basic about food. and btw in nature cats do not eat fish (they will eat one if they can but they have no ability to catch fish)

I really don't like to talk about nutrition since I am not a veterinarian - also, I never recommend - you said I recommended above, but if you listen closely in my videos, I never say "recommend". I cannot. I don't know your cat, your budget, your lifestyle. All I can do is share what we do and how my cats react, etc. and then let cat owners make their own educated decisions from there. But I am glad your kitty likes Whole Life - I do think highly of that company.

@@Floppycats yes, but you know so much more than I do about all things cats ☺️ Maybe I worry too much as a first time kitty mom. I’ll add the non grain free Wellness that my vet recommended to the rotation also, but I won’t stress about this topic anymore. My kitten loved most of the things I bought from your list of favorites. I’m excited to try a few more from the food flavors that your cats enjoy. Thank you for getting back to me.

@@cristinastoia1 you're welcome. if i had a kitten and only a kitten, man, i'd do raw. that's based on what i have learned. mine won't transition to raw easily or they would be on it.

Basically what you feed your cats, but not telling us what’s the best wet cat food is? I find this subject very misleading.

sorry to hear that - ultimately the best canned cat food is the one that your cats will eat, fits your budget, etc. i personally believe that ziwipeak and feline natural are the best ones out there - but i am not a cat nutritionist - so not sure if you should pay mind to what a fellow cat owner thinks?

My cat loves Weruva but he has these soft pasty poos that stick to him making a mess every where...how I know this?.. I did a test and definitely was the culprit...no more!
