Why does my cat drink her food?

Arica

My cats teeth are healthy, and she sometimes eats the dry, crunchy food, which helps her teeth stay clean. But I regularly feed her the moist foods like Iams and Fancy Feast. With most of these meals, she consumes the gravy or sauce, and usually leaves the solid chunks of meat, fish, chicken, turkey, or whatever. Why would she do this? And if I try to feed her less expensive or generic foods, she wont eat them at all. ("Furrbie" is about 12 years old and otherwise of great temperament, and good health. She is allowed to go outside, in good weather.) She is otherwise a no-problem pet. This has been expensive, and irritating, because I end up dishing out 4 or 5 little cans of cat food each day! Help Please!

Its because she loves the wet food and it just tasts better to them. if you go to petsmart try getting sience diet for adult cats (wet food) thats less expensive and both of you will be happy.

Maybe youve spoiled your cat too much?



Elisa

My sister and I wonder about that too. I wish I knew. Hope you find out why.

Well maybe its because she just eats that way. Maybe if you didnt want her to waste so much food try feed in her once or twice a day of canned food (cause my cat does the same thing).
