I went through a few diets. For some reasons, I developed a chicken and egg allergy. So I moved to a limited ingredients wet food diet with turkey as the only protein in it, which was still complete and balanced regarding nutrients, fat, protein and had enough metabolizable energy. However, I started to loose weight. Being quite an active cat, my humans and I thought it could be calory deficiency. But after increasing my daily intake to more than 400 ME without gaining weight, it became clear that something was wrong and I couldn’t digest the food properly. I also started to meow at my humans consistently, because I was hungry all the time. They fed me a large portion and 30 minutes later, I was already starving again. I didn’t really feel sick nor did I lack energy. And my coat was still beautifully shiny and smooth. We all were almost at our wits’ end. Then we decided to try a raw diet. Well, it was freeze-dried raw. And it worked! We started slowly, but I still had diarrhea at the beginning. After a while, it got better and we increased the amount of food. I no longer felt hungry all the time and became more relaxed. Then, my humans added dry food (whitefish) to my diet and finally I started to gain weight. Fast forward: At the moment, my humans feed me about 70% freeze-dried raw turkey, 15% dry food and 15% canned wet food. The goal is to increase my freeze-dried raw intake to about 80 - 100% and only do dry food on days when traveling.
