July 7, 2006, Newsletter Issue #123: Kitty picks at his favorite food, but doesn´t finish it
Tip of the Week
Cats and kittens can have several reasons for not eating: illness, they may be tired of a flavor, plus they will slow down their eating in the warm summer months.
Once you have ruled out disease, you can move on to the other reasons for picky eating.
When your pet nibbles, but then leaves most of a favorite wet food to spoil, stop giving him wet food for a few days. Be sure to leave plenty of dry food out. If you have a routine established for feeding him, just add more dry food to his bowl to keep the routine.
Next, use the wet food as a treat and give it to him only once or twice a week. If he eats the dry food, and doesn´t beg for the wet, you know he is getting enough to eat.
Then when the weather cools down-and he starts eating more, you can start giving him more wet food, if you choose to start it again.
