There are pet owners who entice their cat to eat by offering people food; however offering commercial pet food is a better and more effective way to encourage your finicky cat to eat. Heating the food or mixing in a cooked egg, fish oil, or some broth are just some of the effective ways to entice your kitty to eat. If your cat just turns up his nose on the food being served, take the food away and offer fresh food a few hours later. Starving your pet a little may make him hungry and looking forward to the next meal. Avoid leaving out uneaten food because it can become stale, and your kitty may avoid it in the future. If your pet is used to eating human food exclusively, he may suffer from malnutrition. It is best to transition your pet to cat food over several weeks to give your pet’s digestive system enough time to get used to pet food.
Consult your Suwannee County, FL veterinarian for nutritional advice, especially if you notice any changes in your pet’s health.
