We started feeding raw a week ago and our littlest, Walter, took to it like second nature. This is great because he has HCM and we wanted to feed him raw for health reasons.
As for Sturgeon...well, he's picky. We started with ground chicken and he refused to go near it. He also doesn't like the "loaf" type cat food so we picked up some whole chicken breasts and chunked them. He'll sniff it but won't eat it. If I mix it in with canned food he suddenly doesn't want to eat the canned food either. I tried sprinkling some parmesan cheese on top of the raw food and he ate the cheese...but not the food. >_< It seems like unless it comes straight out of the can he won't go for it. I'm going to try a different type of meat next week, perhaps beef? Maybe some fish?
Any suggestions and encouragement would be greatly appreciated! My husband is ready to give up early and just keep Sturgeon on canned food but that just seems like a pain in the butt to me to have to prep raw food and still buy canned.
(As an aside-- did anyone else notice that their cat lost a little bit of weight when they stopped the 24/7 kibble buffet? Sturgeon's pooch is a little less poochy now. )
