Hi,
The cattery was feeding my boy about 1/4 can per day of Evo chicken/turkey wet twice a day, and leaving Royal Canin (not Babycat36, but Kitten34) kibble available to him all day. I suspect that he wasn't eating much kibble, if any, before I got him 12 days ago.
From the first day I got him, I started him with slightly less, at 1/5 can Evo chicken/turkey mixed with about 15 kibbles, twice a day. He ate all of this, so by the third day, I was at maybe 1/16th can Evo wet (for the smell only
) mixed with a big handful of the Canin 34, twice a day, which he finished and licked the bowl dry. I still leave some Canin 34 in his bowl round the clock, which he nibbles on.
He weighs about 3 1/2 pounds. In any event, when I got him, his stool, was black and firm, but now it varies from 100% black and firm, to 1/2 dark and firm, 1/2 mushy (not diarrhea) and light colored.
He's not sick, far as I can see. He's energetic as ever, and drinking plenty of water, which makes sense since the kibble has almost no moisture content. My guess is that he can't metabolize all the nutrient he's getting now, and that he's passing some in undigested form. Thoughts???
