A short while ago I started a thread about my greedy 22 week old kitten. He's now 6 months old and something rather strange has happened.
We decided to give him a bit more food in response to his demands (he's a growing kitten, right?) so moved onto half dry / half wet foods. All fine. He'd eat everything, but really wolf down the wet food in micro seconds. Then he started throwing up so we'd wake up to the sound of retching, and piles of sick on the carpet.
Because of the sick incidents, we decided to wean him off the wet food and restrict the diet to the dry stuff, hoping he would be forced to pace himself and not gobble his food up so fast. We also decided to keep him downstairs during the night (tiled kitchen floor with his cat tree and bed, food & toys).
Now he won't eat any of the dry food, period. At all. So worried about him not eating, we are giving him a very small amount of wet food which he's happy to consume. But he must still be hungry, but he won't even touch the dry stuff now. The funny thing is, he's not whingeing or agitating for extra food; he doesn't seem bothered.
Now I'm worried he's not eating enough or wondering if he is finding food outside (hunting - but no evidence of this in the house) or being fed elsewhere? What is happening to our cat? He looks fine and seems quite chilled out though.
