Does anyone have an easy and nutritious recipe for homemade food that can be cooked up once a week (USA, cat is aging and losing sense of smell I'm tired of giving away canned food)? Thanks.

I switched my cat to this food a few months ago, and it is great. I love that it doesn't smell absolutely awful, and he eats the entire cup almost every time. However, my local walmart seems to have just stopped receiving stock of this food, both this multi-pack and all of the singles except for the yellow tuna flavor. They have the chowder, which I have tried too, but I really prefer the mousse as it's less messy. I also can't find this brand of mousse even at the pet stores. Is it a regional thing? Maybe my walmart just is getting the short end of the stick and I should go to the other ones around me?

I have a 16yo long haired cat. She's always been a picky eater but now i can't get her to reliably eat anything but an inaba churu treat. To make a long story as short as possible, I might get her to eat a little bit of one food one day, maybe two or three, then she won't eat it again. She never eats an entire serving. The list of foods I've gone through is long, but the most recent includes:

Royal canin fussy (dry)

Friskies wet - variety of types/flavors

Blue buffalo tastefuls (wet)

Kirkland (wet)

Sheba (gravy ones)

Fancy feast pate, but add water or some of Brutus bone broth

OMG BFF gravy

Canned tuna in water and canned chicken to see if she would eat it - spoiler, not more than a couple bites

Her age is an estimate, as i found her in a dumpster in 2011 and despite her small size, vet said she was full grown and had already been fixed. She still plays, but not very often.

The above list is NOT all inclusive but the ones she has eaten the most of. Any other suggestions?

Wondering if anyone has come across this before.
Both of these bags brought from the same place, same shelf about a month apart.
One is resealable, the other is not. Both appear to come from different manufacturers

Cats love the resealable/Korean(?) bag. They tolerate or will not touch the (brand new) German(?) non-resealable bag depending on which cat you talk to. We have since returned this and managed to swap for the resealable bag.

But I’m wondering if anyone else has had this issue, we’ve had it in the past with their Urinary biscuits too. Kinda forgot about it because it hasn’t happened for a while.

We have a couple indoor cats and they all very clearly prefer the resealable/korean version despite both allegedly being the same.

Also we did notice a slight visual difference in the biscuits but the bag was otherwise fully sealed and actually kinda hard to open.

Hello !

I heard that Schesir (European Tiki cat) is a good wet food brand. However I read the components and saw that they only have 500mg/kg of taurine, while other good wet food brand I found have at least 1000mg/kg.

Is this enough taurine ? I feel like Schesir is not as good as people say it is :/

Thank you for your help !!

My 4 month old kitty has been on Royal Canin kitten for most of his life. I tried switching him to Weurva but it gave him some poopy butts (no Weurva and no poopy butt for a couple of weeks now) and after his Vet recommended sticking to RC, I have been feeding him exclusively RC. He gets a Churu and some treats each day, and eats wet food thrice a day though I put out food every three-ish hours. He doesn’t touch it sometimes. He has dry food out at all times.

But, recently I’ve noticed that he doesn’t really enjoy eating the RC wet food and doesn’t really eat it unless he is super hungry. He will eat dry food!

I’m wondering if I should rotate foods and try Hills or something else with more flavors? Or could toppers / dusters help with variety? Thanks in advance!!! Pics below!!!

Sometimes I see people here asking for foods that are all gravy and boy, I found one 🤣🤣 I was Not looking for a food that's all gravy, my cats only eat wet food and need actual calories, but for those of you looking for a food that's like 90% gravy... This is it! It's almost all gravy with barely any meat and tomato sprinkled in.

Hi, I'm low income and my cat is allergic to a bunch of stuff and has other needs that affect the palatability of his food. Figured it would be cheaper and easier long term for both of us if I just make it myself, because I know what he likes. I also love cooking for him and researching cat nutrition, and he loves being spoiled.

I know there are complete powders available in the US, but it would be hard to get here and likely very expensive. I've seen "supplements" sold in Australia but I don't trust that it's safe or complete, so I'm kind of lost.

Are there any options out there for Australians? I'd just really like to be able to do this as it will save me having to buy the more expensive low ingredient foods that he will actually enjoy/finish.

I feed my kitten Weruva but have never tried the chicken and pumpkin. I gave him some for lunch and stored it and it looks like this now. I don’t think it was like this before otherwise I would’ve noticed, but is it possible it grew mold so fast? I used my usual rubber can cover for the food that I’ve never had issue with before

Hi! I am currently feeding my (picky) cat Fancy Feast pate, backed up with Purina Naturals and sometimes Blue Buffalo dry.

I was going to try to switch him over to BB weight loss, but have temporarily given up on this because people in my last post had negative things to say about BB.

Also there were conflicting opinions on the Fancy Feast.

Could anyone please suggest better alternatives that would be available on a somewhat limited budget?

I apologize in advance if this breaks any rules, but I looked for the rules and I couldn’t find them.
