Nope cats are the same.
Occasionally people get away with it, but it is not recomended. It can upset thier stomachas and cause diareoaeh (I cant spell it lol) Even the same flavour but different brands can cause this. It is best to gradually change the food, over 5-7 days.
i think it depends on the cat...I guess your cat has a sensitive tummy.
I rotate foods every DAY..i switch about 4 different brands and all the flavors the company offers...(wellness, innova, chicken soup, nutro)
I figure this: cats, animals, humans: NONE of these eat the same exact food everyday even for a week. (Do you eat the same exact food for breakfast lunch and dinner every day for a consecutive number of days?)
Even cats in nature when they hunt they grab the occasional rodent here and there maybe a bird or even insects)...
My 6 month old kitten has been fed a variety of foods since birth and is an absolute pig as well....never did Sox ever get an upset tummy or diarrhea...
i guess its different when u talk about a cat that has been on an exclusive diet for months or years to suddenly switch...but if the kitten or cat had been fed a variety since day one of eating solid foods, then i think food rotation is better...(its more natural!)..i think the sooner you adapt the cat to a variety diet the better as well....
