Yeah Melbcat isn’t eating her biscuits. She’s actually reminding me when it’s time for wet meals and getting fussed if they’re late (not usual), wanting much larger portions, asking for extra meals, and the fresh biscuits are untouched. She’s going back to the vet soon to check her teeth.
I thought it was her tummy but maybe not. I hope this brand’s factory hasn’t started making the kibbles rock hard to the point of being impossible to eat. So many issues with that is why we switched from the last one and there’s not many she can tolerate.
Does she need to eat biscuits? Some cats will only ever like wet food and get their cronch from dry treats.
Normally she adores her biscuits and likes having a little snack. I free feed because I want her to keep her weight up.
It also takes the pressure off me if I’m a bit late with wet meals or am sick and risk missing one. It’s insurance
Can you soak them in water like breakfast cereal?
I’ve tried it before but she hates that. And unfortunately moistening them means bacteria on the surface start multiplying so it’s not safe to leave the soaked food out for long
