    You shouldn't be feeding any dry food at all!

    Nutrition since there are so many bad things out there is very important to your cat’s health

    Contrary to what you may have heard; dry foods are not a great thing to feed a cat.

    Please read the label on what you are feeding? What are the ingredients? Do you know what they mean? Is the first ingrdiant a muscle meat like chicken or meal or other things?

    http://www.catinfo.org/#Learn_How_To_Read_a_Pet_Fo...

    Dry foods are the number 1 cause of diabetes in cats as well as being a huge contributing factor to kidney disease, obesity, crystals, u.t.i’s and a host of other problems. Food allergies are very common when feeding dry foods. Rashes, scabs behind the tail and on the chin are all symptoms

    The problems associated with Dry food is that they are loaded with carbohydrates which many cats (carnivores) cannot process them. Also, Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food but in

    Dry, 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and don't use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive.

    You want to pick a canned food w/o gravy (gravy=carbs) that uses a muscle meat as the first ingredient and doesn't have corn at least in the first 3 ingredients if at all. Fancy feast is a middle grade food with 9lives, friskies whiskas lower grade canned and wellness and merrick upper grade human quality foods. Also, dry food is not proven to be better for teeth. Does a hard pretzel clean your teeth or do pieces of it get stuck? http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/bpo_ch4a.php

    Please read about cat nutrition.

    There is an ingredient in it that does not agree with your cat, hence hes throwing it back up. My cat used to do this so i changed the food completely to whiskas dry complete food!!! Best thing i ever did. Test your cat with some before buying the bigger bags. Best of luck.

    Perhaps that is just her way of saying she doesnt like it! I dont give my cats rabbit food as i have two rabbits and think its not fair. Try switching flavour as cats can be fussy eaters.

    yes my cat will only eat the blue boxed one any other she is sick.

    Also her meat has to be in Gravy she will not touch anything different as she gets sick they are fussy little things but my cat loathes the other type of buscuits and food.

    Maybe your cat has an allergy to rabbit meat? It is very possible.
