Wet food for kitties

[RolliePollie]

OMG, that kitten picture is too cute!!!

Feeding is quite a dilemma at my house because my two cats are polar opposites when it comes to food. One is finicky and underweight while the other will eat anything and is overweight. I would be totally willing to make fresh food for them if I thought there was any chance the skinny cat would eat it! But she turns up her nose at wet food, meat, and fish!

The best solution I've come up with it to free-feed dry food because the skinny kitty will actually eat it. But then of course my fat kitty overeats. I tried having feeding times twice a day but my skinny cat wouldn't feel like eating at those times and I didn't want her to starve, so I felt like I had to put the dry food back out again.

My vet suggested adding canned pumpking to my fat cat's diet to fill her up and to prevent furballs. So she gets 2-3 Tbsp. a day (she loves it!) and she's lost about 2 pounds in the last year. And her furball problem is a lot better too. My skinny cat gets Nutrical (high calorie molasses-y stuff which for some reason she'll actually eat) several times a week and she's put on about 1/4 lb., which is quite a bit when you only weigh 6-1/2 pounds.
