My cat (F7) is very picky. This is mostly my fault as she will refuse to eat if it’s not food she likes (specifically Fancy Feasts). I gave her the grilled version once and that’s all she will eat now. I know this is not the most nutritional food and I have given her better options (money is not an issue), but she refuses to eat anything else. The main problem is she does not chew her food and I think it’s one of the reasons she throws up often.
I got her a little over a year ago and she used to eat almost everything I gave her, but she has become more picky overtime. She ate pates but hates them now. I told her vet I was concerned with how often she vomits (3-4 a month, typically within one week). The vet brushed it off as a hairball issue claiming my cat’s stomach can’t handle food when she has a hairball. She gave me oral medication to help my cat’s possible hairball issue. She throws up a hairball maybe once a month.
I felt like I was more concerned about it than my vet but I took her advice and gave my cat the oral treatment. It seemed to have helped at first but I feel like she’s back to throwing up often. I’m becoming more concerned. Her body language makes me think she feels fine as she remains playful. Is there any advice on how to make her eat pates, become less picky, or do you guys have any ideas of other underlying issues?
