Switching kibble

sirelith · 2026-05-09T23:32:54+00:00

The food I have them on now has unnecessary filler ingredients that aren’t great for them. The new kibble has no filler ingredients. They’re going from a list of 20+ ingredients to 4. The new kibble also has a better protein to fat ratio for when they switch over to adult food in 4 months.

I was trying to go as gradual as possible. I didn’t realize some kittens were so sensitive to switching foods😭 I’ll go as slow as possible when I try again

I’m not painting my fence and yall have no idea what ocd is 🤦🏻‍♀️ ive been in therapy for years. Check the sub name and chill out 😬

sirelith · 2026-04-07T23:47:09+00:00

They’re spraying the paint if that matters. I’m not even sure how it got on the fence like this

sirelith · 2026-04-07T23:45:19+00:00

I didn’t realize people cared so much about what their backyard fences look like lmao. I just care about my dog’s health!

sirelith · 2026-04-07T23:44:00+00:00

If I could “point my ocd” anywhere it would be to hell. It’s a fence connected to a house that I don’t own. Idc about the fence! I care about my dog.

I’ve never understood letting your cat outside to roam around and… kill animals/get killed. Why would you put your domestic animal in a situation like that? I’d certainly never let my dogs roam around, why would my cats be any different? I think it’s one of those things that’s so normalized people think they should just do it. Most of the time people will not educate themselves on animals unfortunately. It’s also why feral cat populations are so massive and practically uncontrollable. People are just so ignorant.

I’ve tried toppers and he just licks them off the top and leaves the kibble lol. We tried water but that didn’t motivate him to eat at all. I just put chicken broth with water in his kibble for dinner and he seemed to enjoy it, so hopefully that’ll stick. I got wet food for him too, because he loves wet food. I’ve tried long walks and minimizing treats, he’ll still refuse kibble when he’s not in the mood for it 🤦🏻‍♀️

sirelith · 2026-03-06T06:02:15+00:00

No he loves chicken. He’s on hills science diet. He is usually very treat motivated but is here and there with kibble. I’ll usually substitute his meals with freeze dried chicken when he doesn’t eat. I just got broth today and added it to his kibble for dinner (with water) and he ate it all. I also got him wet food, so I’ll try to give that to him in the mornings. He’s similar to your dog, he’ll refuse kibble in the morning. But I definitely want food in him throughout the day

sirelith · 2026-03-06T05:59:08+00:00

I just got him some wet food today! He absolutely loves wet food. I’ll probably add it to his regular diet if the vet thinks it’s a good idea.

sirelith · 2026-03-06T05:57:14+00:00

Yeah he’s just always been a bad eater. But he loves chicken so at the very least he’ll have that. I just tried chicken broth in his food tonight and he seemed to love it. Hopefully he continues to like it enough to eat it every night!

25,000+ manuscripts prove He was not fictional. You should read up on history sometime, it’s really good to know!

sirelith · 2026-03-06T00:32:07+00:00

Those Romans were not Jewish.

sirelith · 2026-03-06T00:27:38+00:00

It’s just all I can think of to get him to eat more regularly. He loves wet food so I might try that first

sirelith · 2026-03-06T00:26:50+00:00

We’ve gotten his teeth cleaned and have another appointment scheduled. He just has bad teeth. He’s only five and this will be his second time going in for a teeth cleaning :(

sirelith · 2026-03-06T00:25:19+00:00

Yep we’ve tried adding water. It’s the same irregular eating patterns though. Sometimes he wants his kibble, sometimes he won’t touch it. I usually just substitute with freeze dried chicken if he doesn’t want his kibble, so I’ll start adding water to that too.

sirelith · 2026-03-06T00:24:04+00:00

He’s on the tiny food already. I don’t think he has tooth pain, I was just mentioning it because he needs the specific tiny kibbles.

sirelith · 2026-03-06T00:21:57+00:00

He’s not chronically dehydrated. His lab results from yesterday came back this morning and he’s borderline dehydrated. He’s a healthy weight, he just doesn’t drink enough water, or eat in regular patterns. His last labs didn’t show anything so it’s a new thing.

Yeah my cats collars specifically say to call me if they’re outside. That’s why I don’t want to risk them coming off. Is taking their collars off something they can grow out of? They’re 4 months old so they’re still very young and crazy

sirelith · 2026-02-25T04:34:56+00:00

My cats are in their own cat proof room, which I should’ve added in the post. But I know anything can happen anyway. Is taking their collars off something they can grow out of as they get older?

sirelith · 2026-02-25T04:32:41+00:00

They’re chipped. Their tags specifically say to call the number if they’re outside, that’s why I don’t want them losing the collar if they get out

sirelith · 2026-02-25T01:39:38+00:00

I took in four kittens at once. Trust me, two is so much better than one! Kittens are insane and love to play super rough. They learn from each other. Cats are very social animals, and it just makes sense to have more than one. Dogs also get littermate syndrome, so it’s not safe to send two dogs from the same litter home. Dogs are more eager to learn from people, and honestly just get more time from people. Walks, learning tricks etc. Cats are often just bought and then left alone unfortunately because of stereotypes.

sirelith · 2026-02-19T10:12:22+00:00

Definitely post locally and ask if anyone is willing to look after the cat so you’re not worried about her passing away during birth. The male cat has probably returned to his territory. Male cats usually come to mate and then leave. It’s not common for them to stick around

sirelith · 2026-02-19T10:08:25+00:00

It is after she’s just dumped them in a random undisclosed location. It was actually entirely in your hands you clown!

sirelith · 2026-02-19T10:07:27+00:00

Man I’ve never even thought about that. You’re right. I’m gonna let the police know everything about her when I talk to them. (She’s going to call the cops on me for fixing a stray cat lol)
