Thread: Chicken Hater !!

I would try to get her eating good quality adult wet food.
The best stuff is on Zooplus, a lot of it made in Germany, and grain-free.
There is a lot of grain in kibble which just goes straight through them, hence smellly poos.

As for her weight vs. the comparison charts, don't worry about how 'far behind' she is. As long as she's putting on weight steadily, which she clearly is doing, she's fine. Looking forward to seeing pictures! x

Little bit of a break through today i hope ,went to pets@home which due to where we live it is the only petshop within miles and is still a 20 mile round trip ,but bought a small bag of hills science plan dry food mainly because it had tuna in it ,lil willow seems to like it a lot more than the rc36 & rc34 which i still think is the main problem with slightly soft/runny poo and with her not that keen on eating it ,i have also ordered a tube of nutri plus gel as a supplement hopefully should be here start of next week by which time i hope to have her weaned over to the hills and see how that fairs before we start looking for a wet diet to compliment a kibbles food she will enjoy ,i have not heard many great things about hills science but at this stage i would be so happy to just see her enjoying her food a bit ,hopefully the fish route is the answer & a wet diet would possibly be even better again ,starting to feel like im operating a science lab here with digital scales, round bowls & bags of different food everywhere ,i can see a growth graph chart on the horizon as well (hides head in shame)

many thanks for all your replys ive posted a few pics taken just now while i could get her to sit still

She's absolutely beautiful Grace! The second pic is adorable :-)

Wow, she's utterly gorgeous! What a beautiful smiley expression she has. Such a pretty girl - bet you are smitten!

Thank you so much for the lovely comments ,she is spoilt rotten by us all, my 7 year old adores her and my OH goes all gooey around her it's very funny ,im working on him and maybe a companion for her in the very near future looks promising ,i have been showing him the stunning guy's & gals in the members gallery and he laughs at the thought of a massive male to scare the postman with (typical bloke)
Had a bit of a set back this evening tho and had a poor little kitty who needed a bath after a runny bot ,we are convinced now that this rich dry food isn't agreeing with her and as we are already in the crap so to speak its time to switch to a wet diet ,sent OH to get some Hi-Life ocean variety the high meat content one and will be introducing it over next few days until she is on it solely then possibly try adding small amounts of dry as a filler later on once her lil tum has settled down ,as like many others i have read about hanging around the litter tray with a baby wipe and a possible visit to the washing bowl aint much of a life for the poor thing or us :(

Hate seeing her with an upset tum altho you would never know it she tears around the house and is full of energy ,hope this fixes the lil lass

You could try Encore / Applaws (supermarket / pet shop different branding) they do a tuna one with rice in it. They do other fish ones as well, seem to remember a shrimp one for some reason. If she has a runny bum you could try her with some steamed white fish and rice for a few days first til her tum settles again. I know what your going through I had ti with Buddy and ended up going to a complete raw diet for months and only recently introduced cat food again xx

Had an awfull last 12 hours :(

after giving willow a few of the new hills kibbles i was going to change her on to just to check she liked them ,and introducing some hi-life ocean variety we had 2 very runny poo's last nite about 2 hrs apart ,decided to take away any food and just leave water down over nite ,this morning after running round the house with my 7 year old before school like a pair of lunatics she has been sick :( a lovely yellow greasy consitancy with a couple of very small pieces of the fish in it ,i feel like such an ogre ,she seems all fine and is jumping all over the work tops looking for food now ...........

Should i not feed her till this evening do you think and maybe small amounts of her normal kibbles or is it time to boil a bit of chicken or whitefish & some rice ?,its definately a food issue and even tho she aint thrilled with the royal canin babycat 34 she does graze on it ok during the day and the poo's altho soft are quite formed ,should i maybe try introducing wet foods when she is a little older ?

totally confused & feel like crap at mo and feel like im doing more harm than good for her..........:(
