<DIV><BR></DIV>The only time I have ever had a cat voluntarily eat something I so lovingly prepared, was when I had a cat with IBD who could only tolerate raw. And I'm a GOOD cook <g><BR>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I have hesitated to respond to this, because my practice is often frowned upon. I like to feed canned foods with no grain, no carbs and (gasp) by-products are allowed. I avoid fish for most of them, but only because I do think it may be a trigger for stone-formers. Of course, my two blockers are also my two FeLV+'s. So most of the time, I don't offer fish based foods.<BR>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I also tried many of the gourmet, grain free, special, amazing (ly expensive) options that Chewy had to offer. I have now decided that feeding Fancy Feast Classic pates (they're currently eating beef or chicken) and/or Sheba pates (same flavors) is fine. Some would eat one kind, some another, but hundreds of $ worth of the "Good Stuff" went to the ferals and raccoons. I don't feed dry (the stone forming thing again) often. If you have only a few cats, I had pretty good luck with Hound and Gatos and Wild Calling carb free varieties.<BR>
