Shimmer, what was your breeder feeding him? What is he eating now?
I did not mean talk you out of cooking your own. It really isn't overly complicated you just have to add supplements and the type/amount of supplements depends on the food. For instance, many folks here make their own raw. The raw would be a mixture of muscle meat (thighs instead of breasts), organ meat and bone. There are readily made supplements to add to this. On the other hand, if you don't add bone, you would add a different supplement that also contains nutrients normally obtained from bone like calcium. [Important - bone is only allowable in raw as it will splinter if it is cooked.] It would be very similar for cooked - you would add the supplement for meat without bone.
If you choose to go with a commercial diet, choose high quality with meat (and not meat byproducts) as the first ingredient. The better ones tend to have very few ingredients. Avoid grain as cats do not digest this. One thing you will notice is that with the high quality food, the poops will be much smaller and less smelly as the cat's digestive system absorbs more so the cat poops less.
And bottom line, your cat may not like the food that you choose regardless of the quality so it will become a grand experiment finding something that both you and Freddy will agree upon.
the breeder was feeding him royal canin but its very pricey im acctualy just researching right now and every time i go get moist food for him i will pick up a few others and see if he likes them so far he likes the royal canin and western family brand he wont touch the friskies at all i have tryed a few different flavors but he wont touch them i also got 5 bags of temptations cat treats all different flavors and tryed 3 different ones he wont even give a second look i put a few pices in his food he picked around them or pulled them out witch i thought was so odd also i have questions about how everyone feels about fish since foucashima happened?? in my area the fish are still affected so i am wondering is it safe to give him any fish in any way since in my area it comes from here or japan or some area like that... as long as the food is not going to hurt him and he likes it i am ok with it and once we are done the move we are about to do soon i will start getting the things i need to start making him his own food.
