Warming cold food?

[Susan]

My girls usually eat a 5.5 oz can between them each day; somedays we might go through a bit more than 1 can, but not too often. Mind you, they are picky eaters, and they're not all that interested in food, regardless of what type of food.

I read on this Forum all about cats who steal food, break into cupboards, etc...but my girls can't be bothered with any of that. I've even left an open bag of treats lying around on my nighttable when I've gone to bed, and it was untouched in the morning. It's a plus in one sense, since I don't have to lock things up, but it's a minus in that I just can't seem to interest them in much of anything that's food-related!

Ok thanks! I think I'll try reducing their dry to 1/4 cup then, with the same amount of wet they're getting currently and see if that improves their appetite for the wet, and see if warming the wet in the evenings also helps. I may still have to give Apollo a bit more as he's 10 lbs, but I think maybe little Athena is just getting way too much food (she's only 5 lbs).

They probably are just thinking, "Eh, I could eat this cold wet food that I had for breakfast already...or I can eat that whole bowl of crunchy kibbles later!"

I don't blame them. The Wellness Core dry smells exactly like the inside of a Japanese restaurant.

Edit: Also I just realized you already told me how much wet you feed earlier in the thread, sorry about that. I'd forgotten. I should have just gone back and re-read the first page!
