Question
hi, I have a 6 month old Bengal kitten who's stomach has always been quite sensitive resulting in diarrhea. we have tried various feeds suggested through vet including Royal Cannin Sensitivity but none made any difference. We were most recently suggested cooked cod or coley which has helped a little but left her constantly meowing for food and not full of energy like normal. Do you have any other suggestions?

Answer
Hi - Make sure you have your little Bangel tested for parasites in the stool -- This should be done 3 x by the age of 6 months...

Here are some home-cooked recipes for your kitten - see if they agree with her.
HOPE this helps

**** home made cat food and a few supplements
Here are my suggestions for your cat kid:

Feline Feeding Formula: CAT food recipe:

Meat 98%  ( lightly cooke all meats)

     ground raw turkey

     ground raw chicken

     raw or cooked seafood (taurine does not cook out of seafood)

    * tuna in water  (occasionally, not daily)
*******************************************************
Grain 1%:  ( Not Every day:)


     Oatmeal, oatbran, rice, barley (grind into flour in blender or food processor)

only feed grain occasionally  *( OR not at all) ( YOU can omit this if needed)

***********************************************************

Vegetables 1%:
OPTIONAL --- not sure how your cat will do with this:  *( do a test)

     puréed, juiced, raw or steamed -- this should ideally be a salad.
 1/4 cup cooked, cooled sweet potato OR
  raw carrot- grated fine  OR
1/3 cup zucchini cooked or grated fine ( raw)


only feed salad occasionally --- Cats mainly need meat:
