Clare, it sounds like Hendrix is just a sensitive kitty in more ways than one. He doesn't seem to like "change" in any way. I went to Petco yesterday and picked out some really expensive food for Raiden. They have their Friskies and Fancy Feast in a corner of the store, so I headed to the aisle with Wellness, Nutro, Halo, Royal Canin, etc. I selected a couple of cans of each of the brands (chicken, turkey and beef) and am giving that a try. So far, Raiden gulped up the Wellness Signature Select. My husband nearly fell on the floor over the price of the food, but I don't care! Raiden is going to like this stuff come heck or high water! I'm tired of feeding him the crappy stuff that even looks crappy in the bowl, but he loves it! Over the past two years, I've bought him high-quality food, but he never ate much of it. This time it will be different. It's going to be that or nothing!!! Times they are changing! I always caved in with the cheap stuff because that was what he was used to eating. He just chowed down on some Natural Balance Turkey and Giblets. I bought a huge assortment but it probably won't last but a couple of weeks. As long as the cost of supporting Raiden doesn't interfere with hubby's expensive golf habit, I'm okay!
