Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / December 2003to Sparky (vomiting)
Hello Sparky, I have some good advice for you. I know alot about cats and have two cats at home. Never feed a cat or kitten tuna because it takes away their vitamin E. It is also very strong and might make them throw up. Wet cat food is also not a good idea either, it is not very good for them. Try Iams or even purina for sensitive stomachs, that might work. if not, ask you vet. good luck! >Wet >cat food is also not a good idea either, it is not very good for them. Try >Iams or even purina for sensitive stomachs, that might work. if not, ask you >vet. good luck! I don't agree at all. Wet food is fine for kittens, even preferable to dry.

Please see my other response to you. Your post is *not* "good advice", and I'm not sure that you *do* know "alot" or even a lot about cats.

On the contrary, I have it on good authority (read: a veterinarian) that I should be feeding one of my girls wet food - simply because she has dental trouble.

I don't think its so good... > I know alot about cats It sure doesn't seem like you do... and > have two cats at home. Never feed a cat or kitten tuna because it takes away > their vitamin E. Feeding small amounts of tuna packed in *water* occasionally as a treat - or in an emergency presents no problem. It is also very strong and might make them throw up. Wet > cat food is also not a good idea either, it is not very good for them. Wet food is the *best* food to feed a cat! http://maxshouse.com/feline_nutrition.htm#Dry Food vs Canned Food. Which is really better? > Wet food is the *best* food to feed a cat! I wouldn't make such blanket statements. Wet food was fine for my previous girl, but this guy gets horrible diarrhea from it.

Wet food was fine for my > previous girl, but this guy gets horrible diarrhea from it. Its *still* the best food to feed a cat... just maybe not the right food for your cat. Have you tried different brands? Also, did you make the transition gradually? Good luck. Phil > > > Wet food is the *best* food to feed a cat! > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > your cat. Have you tried different brands? Also, did you make the > transition gradually? It's too broad a generalisation to say it's the best food for all cats. It's the best for some, maybe most -- but not all. Individual metabolisms are too variable to make such blanket statements.

Individual > metabolisms are too variable to make such blanket statements. As I said, moist food is the *best* food for cats... I don't mind if you don't agree with me... ;) > > > Wet food is the *best* food to feed a cat! > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Phil OK, but is it true about that other part, that tuna makes cats throw up?

Because my cats get wet food (Iams, Purina, Friskies, some fish but lately they seem to like chicken best) and although they love it and beg for it probably one out of three feedings somebody throws up a LOT of cat food. Both are well vetted, healthy cats, both short-haired, medicated for hairballs, brushed regularly. They rarely hurl dry food. Is it the kind I am feeding? When I asked the vet, he said "Aww. Poor little things. They want it but it is too rich for them." He said they eat it too fast. I now put out small amounts, but it has not seemed to help. |
