Hello everyone, hopefully someone has some tips!
I have 2 male cats – one is a senior at 18 years old who won’t eat crunchies, and another, 7 year old, who is – to put it mildly – quite fat. (I’m convinced there is a medical issue behind it, but the vet can’t find anything…).
Can anyone offer any tips or food ideas on how I can feed them? (Note here that feeding them separately won’t fly. Malcolm would not take well to Atticus being fed without him, and vice versa.) I don’t want to compromise Atticus’ 18 year old senior body (he has a hyper thyroid and is on meds for it, and has had a stroke), but Malcolm needs to drop some serious weight. He’s not an active boy (loves his naps!), nor is he a big eater, but I can’t seem to find a soft food they’ll both be able to eat for their respective conditions. It needs to be something that’ll help with Malcolm’s weight without causing Atticus to lose any of his. Other thing about these picky lads – halfway through mealtime the “switch” bowls, as though what the other has is different.
There is almost too much info out there, and the solution offered by the vet’s office isn’t practical. Any help is appreciated. Thanks everyone!!
