"One thing that has become noticeable is that she sticks up her noise at the chunky stuff but will gobble down pretty much any cat food that is in the mince meat/ground up variety"Mine are like that as well. Any "chunky" mushy food, I just smash to mush and they'll eat it. Same w/ cold cuts or chicken. If I break a piece "too big", they won't eat it.
After Kitty, my eldest (18) died, I blamed myself for feeding her the commercial crap. I could have sworn she would have been with me until she was 30.
Now I go to the pet store and buy the more expensive, less ingredient crunchies and mushy food (grain free, which they can't digest).
I learned A LOT about cat food when I posted a thread about Kitty, as I thought she was suffering from CRF.
Thanks for responding, my gut feeling is some one would response, what you said with your post is what I've been thinking is the pieces are too big for her, been thinking of trying something I could use to chop it up, Bought a Coffee grinder at a garage sale recently hopefully It will work without the juices getting down in the motor and the whole concept becoming a whole big mess. Hopefully soon will go back into town and get more can food with the big chunks and try my experiment. Also will be looking for one of those chop chop chop things you see on the TV commercials.
