Food question

[Rachel]

Hey everyone. I have a question about food. I used the food chart you recommended and have been getting friskies classic pâté. My question is would it be better to give my cats a variety of the foods or just stick with one flavor? I saw that the lower carb options are also lower protein. Should I do a variety so that sometimes they get the lowest carbs and sometimes slightly higher carbs with more protein? Any opinions or advice?

I change China's flavors up quite often. She gets bored eating the same thing.

As long as it's under 10% carbs, you can feed one flavor or many. ECID (every cat is different)

We do suggest only feeding "fish" flavors once/week due to the contamination issues with fish though (which is a bummer since those are the ones China likes best)

You can add some boiled chicken or turkey to increase the protein if you want to, too

Thanks! I'm still new to all this and a bit overwhelmed at times. I really appreciate your input!

We all understand "overwhelmed"..We were all there once!!

Keep asking questions...there's no such thing as a question too small or silly sounding to ask. There are a lot of great members here who were new once too, asked lots of questions, made mistakes, learned from them, and are "paying it forward" to the next new mom/dad

This is a busy weekend due to the holiday, but after the parties are over, they'll be a lot more of us around
