Cat food

[burbonian]

I recently fed my cat Holly 'Felix' cat food in a pouch and now she is terribly sick. She vomited all of what she ate of it so now she will not eat or drink. Anyone else have same problem?

My cat will only eat James Wellbeloved kibbles and has never been sick (so far) . Old cat would only eat Whiskas pouches and was sick at least twice a WEEK.

I have no idea what the answer is! but try some kibbly stuff-

I'm really glad she is recovering, but unless a sample of the food was tested or there is a known problem of a bad batch in your area, it seems rather unlikely that the Felix was the culprit. Much more probable that it was something else she ate (rotting wildlife?) or a virus of some sort.

I had a cat who did something similar, she was usually fed dry food but following a dental she had to have wet food for a little while. The first time I gave it to her, it was such a novelty for her that she practically inhaled it, promptly made herself sick and then 'scared' herself from eating anything else for a couple of days in case she was sick again.

My cats eat anything! I only give them dried food though as I find they have more solid poop then. They'll eat Sainsbury's own brand to go-cat to expensive iams and the like. They even eat salt & vinegar crisps if you leave any about. They have a huge bowl which I full up once a day and they graze happily. Never had any tummy problems luckily.
I suggest you take kitty to the vet ASAP op.
Hope the poor thing gets better soon.

I have noticed that with dry food my cat seems to graze more, whereas wet food was wolfed down in one go. Are cats natural grazers? I would have thought not (a mouse at a time)?

Cats are natural grazers, yes. They will eat around twenty bite-sized meals a day.

That is very interesting nohooting. I would have thought they were like little lions - one big scoff and sleep for days! It makes me feel much better about Didokitty's eating habits and preference for less smelly dried food.

Yes one by one my cats are sick after eating felix a bit of concern we have now changed food to a top brand supermarket one they are no longer sick the only reason I have joined mumsnet is that I googled this very question and your message came up
So although I don’t have the answer
And it’s worrying that other cat owners are having this problem

@Valicejj This thread is 6 years old. I'm sure if there was an issue it would have been raised by now.

Yes I agree but it’s strange they don’t honk up with other cat food !?
