How much should I feed him?

Hi ElicBxn, You can wean them off with adding a little cat food at a time and eventually the cat should be back to eating cat food if the cats are alright ofcouse. Tamara

I'd feed him as much as he wants because he's hungry. I mean, you wouldn't want anybody to limit the amount you can have, right? So feed him as much as the little guy wants. How much will the surgery cost? The reason I ask is because I have $10 and some change just floating around in my paypal account, I'd be more than happy to send it to you to help with the cost of the surgery for it has to be right painful for him. Please let me know what your email is so I can send it!

How many calories does you cat need a day? Is your cat gaining weight, maintaining, or loosing rapidly? Baby food can be made in a blender and you can get recipes off the internet. You can make a bunch up and have it for three days in the fridge, longer in the freezer. There was a baby food maker on sale at Kmart at one point, I believe it included recipes, I bought one last spring, I bought one for someone who was going to have a baby. If you're eating meat and veggies at a meal, just pop some meat and veggies into the blender. Make sure it's veggies a cat can have. Also a little yogurt once in awhile might be a good idea. Using what you're already eating, that would cut down on the cost. How much do you feed? Depends on the cat and the answer to my first two questions. I would only feed a cat human meat baby food if a cat was in the same situation as yours, in need of teeth. Otherwise, there are many dry foods that can help a cat keep his teeth. Cats have teeth that cut through the bones of small animals and they, like dogs, are carnivores that need hard surfaces to cut through to keep their teeth strong. I hope people don't start feeding perfictly healthy cats baby food. A vet is seeeing sick animals. Mine is healthy.

yeah. pets know how much to eat and how much not to eat. they will stop when they r full. they will tell u if they r still hungry. if he is still hungry, feed him. when they r full, they will belch or move away from their dish, even if their plate still has food on it.

Can he eat cat food with some water added to it? I feed all meat baby food when the cat won't eat anything, but there are nutrients in cat food, like taurine, that a cat must have. I wouldn't feed just baby food for more than 3 days. If you make the canned food the same consistency as the baby food, he shouldn't have trouble with it. I wish you all kinds of good luck with him. Give him a snurgle for me.

Not really sure but I did have a friend, the cats would feed themselves. What I mean to say is that the cats figures out where the food was stored. They managed to open the cupboard and open a 10 pound bag of cat food. When he came home from work that day the remaining 5 pounds was all over the kitchen floor... Healthy for the cat? Ahh no but cats are well cats.

I would be careful about feeding to much just because it may make him feel even more uncomfortable. There is a healthy amount that should be eaten. I would also try to make your own. That way you can add things that the other posters recommended to be sure he gets all the nutrients needed. That might actually be why he seems like he is still hungry.

How are you going to manage , have you planned to feed your cat with so much expensive food items? how long , remember if you give so much place by feeding him tasty things , he will not eat the normal food stuffs later , so dont try to only feed him with those food items , did you consult the vet before coming to this conclusion?

Frankly I cannot help you out, but I've seen all the others doing so. My cats have their rice with milk and fish at intervals. Readymade cat food is pretty expensive here in India. So I give them that just on and off. What I would like to mention is that after joining in at MyLot, I've found so man people who really do take care of their pets. And this is what makes me so happy.

Why can't Taj eat normal cat food? If it is a teeth problem you could try feeding him Hills A/D can food. It is specifically developed for animals with chewing/swallowing problems. Why is Taj having his teeth removed?

There is canned cat food that has a similar consistancy as the baby food and cheaper. Why not feed Taj that instead? By all means, feed him however much he wants on his good days cause on his bad days, he won't be able to eat much and lose weight.

It sounds like you are feeding him soft foods that are kind of runny so he can just lap them up? I had a Siamese that had digestive problems and I was feeding her baby food with tuna mixed in. I also would buy a container of chicken livers, boil them and then puree them in the blender until it was good and runny. I would add canned cat food to the mix and blend really well. It cut down on costs a lot. Also, you can cook up some rice until it is a bit over cooked and blend it in with the mix. It looks awful but it is easy to eat and digest. You might try making a small amount of the mixture and see if he will eat it. If he does it will be an emmensley less expensive way to feed him until he can have the teeth removed. I know that my Siamese thrived on the mixture until her stomach healed.

I'd feed him as much as he wants. You can also feed him kitten formula in a dish. Or put regular soft canned cat food in a blender with a bit of water to turn it into mush. That would be the cheapest way to get him to eat enough without breaking the bank.

I used to give my kitten milk and now she is grown and she eats all sorts of food which we eat but if she smells fish she is very eager and will eat more. She is very cute . Happy mylotting and have a nice day.
