Should I put my cat back on the junk food?

I have had to move my cat quite a long distance and she still hasn't quite settled yet although is doing well.

She's 10 and is normally a very active outdoor cat, I still need to keep her inside for a bit. She's never been hugely food motivated and a year ago I took her off Purina One + wet food and put her on posh kibble + wet food (she is always free fed her kibble so its constantly available).

The vet had always praised what great health she is but said before I left my old house "dont let her lose any weight". Now j am worried that she feels very slender and with the move and everything, I am considering taking her off the posh kibble and putting her back on the Purina One, because she does love that stuff and eats it like popcorn.

What do you think?

There’s no harm in trying - give it a go and see how she goes.

if she likes it yes give it to her.
My little cat won’t eat anything but Felix. She is in lovely condition so I guess it gives her what she needs. Better that than a more nutritionally complete food which goes uneaten.

Thabks for your advice :)
She eats the posh kibble fine but I get the sense she just eats it to feed herself, not bevause shes mad about it, and while shes still a bit unsettled I think its best to let her properly chow down and indulge. Purina One it is!

Buy both and mix them together. The way she gets the good food and the junk food 😊

I too was going to say mix them!
