Exactly what is a fatty meal for cats? Please give me examples. My cats normal diet is Purina Cat Chow. I do give them the juice from tuna in water.

I mix the contents of the capsule with a teaspoon or a little more of canned cat food, or sometimes tuna fish. Hope this helps. ;)

Things like canned kitten food and anything with a high crude fat content (I would aim for 9%) would work (the paper instructions you get with the medication also recommends adding a couple drops of olive oil to help). All cat food comes with a guaranteed food analysis, so check that for crude fat content. I would recommend going to a local pet store or chain like Petco or Petsmart and checking out good quality products by Blue and Natural Balance for the good high crude fat content. In the refrigerated section, Freshpet Vital for Cats (and similar refridgerated food) also has high crude fat content.

HI....Kitten food - the wet kind - egg yolks, sardines packed in oil, are all types of fatty cat food. You should read the labels on canned cat food can to find the fat content - some are higher in fat than others, but it does need to be a canned cat food.....

A fatty meal would mean that simply you add a healthy oily substance to the food. Examples: olive oil, butter, tuna in oil, and so on...get the idea? And as a suggestion to avoid allergies and harmful chemicals in your cats' system please read the ingredients label on the industrially-made food you serve them. It should definitely not contain by-products or offals (example: meat, chicken, pork, lamb and the like). Also don't repeat the same ol' food always. Change it around so there the pets do not get bored and don't become overly sensitive to any other brand.

Sorry, I am not qualified to answer this, as I'm only a cat owner. I would think the internet would have an answer, as well as a vet. I just give my cat about 2 tablespoons of canned cat food that I've mixed the medication into. He has dry food the rest of the time.

Add a little olive oil to the dry cat food, or you can give them some canned cat food as a treat.

Greetings, for those that have Cat's/Kittens with an insatiable desire to eat the Mossy substance may I suggest some sort of decorative River Stones, Zen Stones, Florist Glass Vase Pebbles? This may prove to be less interesting to them. Just a thought.

No! Diabetic cats should only be fed wet food. Fancy Feast Classic Pate, Chicken, Liver & Chicken or Turkey is recommended for low carb. It is available here on Amazon for reasonable prices. My cat was diagnosed with diabetes & put on insulin injections. After 30 days of shots & changing her food from dry food to Fancy Feast, she went into remission. I learned that all cats should be fed wet food only. My cat has lost weight and at almost 11 she's acting like a young cat again. Also quit shedding.

I originally got the chicken and tuna flavored ones through our vet, but the price was twice as expensive as through Amazon. Then I ordered the unflavored ones through Amazon. My cat is also a picky eater, but when I mix the powder with his tuna, he just eats it up. No problems.

Cats lack the enzyme that humans have that breaks down plant oils like olive or canola oil Oil packed tuna is usually packed in either olive or canola oil. Using this in your cat's wet food is much better, and from what I've seen my cat's Sheba chicken pate appears to be the oiliest. I can't tell you how well this stuff works because I keep my cat indoors and she doesn't have fleas to begin with. It's just a battle to get her flea control drops onto her neck every month so I got this to ease the trauma for both of us, but if you are using oil and don't want to risk giving your cat diarrhea I'd recommend using an animal grade oil like Grizzly Salmon Oil All-Natural Cat or Dog Food Supplement.

After cutting the end of capsule, I just squeeze the oil on top of the wet food in the mornings (separate servings) and both cats seem to like it, which I was surprised. Feeding wet food, I make a small dip in the middle and put the oil in the dip. You could try that and then mix it up with the food. It has definitely helped both cat's skin and coats. Good luck and if you have any more questions, let me know. B. Dixon

Warmish, Room temp---much better on digestion! Cold food has a high % of upsetting digestion, so please NEVER cold. Put remainder of food from can, in a glass bowl, cover and put in fridge. (This is quality real food--it will spoil!) Then take what you want out--very slightly microwave or sit at room temp. I ALWAYS add warm water--cats need more water, and Wellness is a high quality food; adding water doesn't ruin the taste. We have 8 cats (all rescues) so very experienced --lol- :) purrrs.....

I could not find anything on the can for sodium. I want to say that I bought this for one of my cats that is in Kidney failure and almost died. This is the only wet food all 3 of my cats will eat. It is now almost a year later and his lab results are doing so much better just because of this food and his diet dry food. I now can mix it with another can of their favorite gravy lovers brands to give them as a treat. It is worth the try.

Like Lisa says, it's about the size of a 'people-size' can of tuna. I usually give my 2 kitties the 'pate' variety since there seems to be more food in the can-there's no gravy. Sometimes they get finicky with flavors but they still eat and seem to enjoy the food-they're certainly NOT underweight.

I'm not sure, except price-lysine is an enzyme found in protein products-a diet with actual meat first, is less expensive-a spoon of real salmon, of tuna or baked chicken, as a meal-so much food, can or dry, is made with leftover products-feed a better quality and add REAL meat at least once daily-my cats are highland lynx, and they enjoy and benefit from some outdoor sunshine time [in a safe incloser of coarse] this is great for over all health-hope this helps

looked at pkg. no ref to feline or cats anywhere. only dogs. guessing not for cats or they would be marketing them that way as it would increase their sales. must be wrong 'other ingredients' for feline digestion. also, the treats are bisquit like texture and quite large so cats may find quite Unappealing.

I think I would ask a vet about this. Of course, many vets will not approve of raw food for a cat, much less a kitten. My cat ended up getting diarrhea with this food, but I think it was my fault for leaving it out too long. Nevertheless I did quit feeding my cat the food, though she really liked it. I now feed canned (Fancy Feast pate). Sorry, I doubt my answer helped much!! Actually, now I'm reading E Garratt's answer...if I had a cat/kitten that could tolerate nothing else, you bet I'd be trying raw!! Just be VERY careful if you mix it with water not to be a dummy like me and leave it out for very long. I think I would ask a vet about this.

S&C;'s customer service is very helpful and knowledgeable. I have called a couple of times with different questions not your question though. My young cats did not eat the food wet but they are quite a bit older now. I have to crumble a couple of the "kibble" as they like it "loose". Each cat gets about 3 kibble which is about .4 grams - not much, but they free feed other kibble. With the food fed dry - drinking water is a very important. Sorry did not answer your question, but customer service would be a good source. Would like to know what they say.

My cats will lick their plates clean. At first, I thought they were just trying to get the last bits of gravy but, they are making sure they get the last bits of the vitamin powder. I would check with another vet to get a recommendation for a food that doesn't make your cat sick. A food that helps one problem and causes another problem can't be healthy for that particular cat.

Is there ever any rhyme or reason to what cats will choose to eat? Not aware of any changes in composition of the food. Their (Newman's Own) website seems to be pretty up front about their products. You might check there to see if there have been any changes.
