Question
Hi, Tuti the Abyssinian who owns me is about 7 years old. I'm thinking of changing his diet from all kibble to half kibble and half EVO canned venison.

Here's the background on this: He has been on a 50/50 mix Hills Science Diet Z/D (because he often vomits) and C/D (because he had UTI some years ago). It appears that he doesn't like this diet and he still vomits after eating. He has been thoroughly checked by our vet, who prescribed first Royal Canin and then switched to Hills Science Diet.

Yesterday, Tuti vomited after each meal. In desperation, I opened an "emergency" can of off-the-shelf, wet cat food, something he has never eaten.  I mixed the canned half and half with the kibble.

Tuti's appetite returned with gusto, he ate the wet food, sucked every bit of juice out of the kibble, and then spit out the kibble! What's more, the vomiting stopped.

So, is this a good diet change for Tuti, 50/50 Evo canned venison and Royal Canin C/D (low ash diet)?

I would do the transition gradually from his current diet to the new mix.

Thank you kindly from me and my hungry master.

Hi Lesilie and Tuti;  I would rather see you place Tuti on home-cooking meals ( recipes below) - The Canned EVO is fine for 1 or 2 days per week but not 7 days per week.

Please try this recipe - EASY and he will love it!

HOPE this helps ---Keep me posted.

Cooking for you cats is very easy - You can feeze up some for 2 weeks at a time.
You can keep the food cold and use it within 3 days.
YOU don't have to cook every day...JUST heat up from the freezer what you need.
Some folks use Freezer bags and make individual meals.


This diet is PH balanced and Phosphate balanced for you cats.
