Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004New UR Food Doesn't Agree w/Persia
Okay, she loves the Purina One UR and either eats it too fast, which causes her to barf, or she eats it normally and something *in* it causes her to barf. So we're back to the original equation of what do I give her to eat that she can eat for her UTI condition, not barf and not lose weight? Guess a call to the vet is in order again. (sigh) Jill Try putting some balls or stones in the dish that she must eat around. IT will slow her down and then, if she stops barfing you know it is just to fast. You could also try smaller amounts. If she likes it enough, she may be overeating. > Okay, she loves the Purina One UR and either eats it too fast, which causes > her to barf, or she eats it normally and something *in* it causes her to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Jill Also, did you switch her to the new food gradually? Sometimes a new food change can cause tummy upsets. I also think Karen has a point with eating too fast or too much. Our Oreo tends to eat too fast and then throws up.

While many foods cause allergy symptoms that occur as skin/ coat issues animals that are allergic to beet pulp will often vomit and or have loose bowel movements. If your vet does change her food you may want to consider one that doesn't use beet pulp as a source of fiber if that could be an issue for poor Persia.

Tribble (RB) and Natasha ate that for years because Trib had had a couple bouts of "blocked cat syndrome" when he was little.

She hates it. That's why I was so happy she seemed to like this stuff. > Okay, she loves the Purina One UR and either eats it too fast, which causes > her to barf, or she eats it normally and something *in* it causes her to [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Jill One of the multitude of reasons I feed my cats Science Diet is UTI's.

None of those I've had would even touch the stuff - just sniff it from a safe distance, turn up their noses and walk away. (They'd actually go hungry for days, and still refuse to eat it!) >Obviously your cats will EAT Science Diet.

My vet gave me a sample packet of SD once. The cats chowed it down like they loved it. I then bought the full-sized bag and they wouldn't touch the stuff. Go figure. I always wondered if they "doctored" the sample bag to make it more palatable. I'm sure that's not true, but it makes you wonder. Bootsie not only refuses food she doesn't like, but she sniffs it, then takes off running like her tail is on fire. It's kinda cute. Sherry > >Obviously your cats will EAT Science Diet.

It's kinda cute. And how often do you find the food they LOVE on sale, only to have them decide they don't like it, after all, when you've stocked up on large quantities at the reduced price? (I swear they can read the price tags!) > Sherry > > > Okay, she loves the Purina One UR and either eats it too fast, which > > causes [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > noses and walk away. (They'd actually go hungry for days, and still > refuse to eat it!) yeah, my two as well. Or more accurately - Dakota chowed down, Apache sniffed, turned up her nose and walked away. Dakota noted that she wasn't eating and decided that if it wasn't good enough for her, it wasn't good enough for him, stopped eating, barfed up what he had eaten, and pretended to starve for the next two days till I got something different.

OTOH, Felix refuses to eat anything else. :-) He won't even tolerate a gradual switch from one variety to another. Once the mix gets to be too low on Light Maintenance for his imperial tastes, he goes on a hunger strike.

Ours will eat Hill's Science Diet, but not the light stuff. When I fed it exclusively, they all lost a ton of weight, except Pine Cone. Then I tried blending the two together for a while and all of the cats, except Pine Cone, would eat the regular and spit out the light stuff. In the interest of sanity, we're back on the regular for all of them. We're supplementing Penny's diet with baby food, as she's lost way too much weight. Poor kit.

When I got the Stripey Thing (George) a couple of years ago, I switched to SD kitten food until he was an adult. Sounds fine except Tony wouldn't let me switch back. If I put down anything besides SD kitten food, he goes on a hunger strike and gets downright mean. Some cats are mean catnip junkies, Tony is a shithead when he gets hungry. There is NO peace. Feed him and he is the sweetest thing in the world. Guess who made sure he and the Stripey Thing got to keep the kitten food? I couldn't stand it anymore. Neither are gaining weight on it and their coats look great, so I guess I'll live with this for now. Bridget Good to see you posting, Bridget -- missed you.

How are you and your father doing and how are Tony and George? How's your father's cat? Hope that we get to see more of you posting.
