Success!

For the whole time since we've had our kittens, they've had tummy troubles. They have super-sensitive digestion and even now, at 10 months old, they still have problems easily. But at last we've had some success!
We've been trying to move them over to a better-quality biscuit for their lunches, but it was a nightmare because substituting half of their normal biscuits (Purina One Sensitive - gentle on tummies but like feeding them junk food) with Orijen Cat and Kitten (much better quality)left them with very runny bottoms, and a LOT of unpleasant clean-up for us. We switched them over to More (much better than Purina One but not quite as high in meat as Orijen) and literally started with 2 biscuits at a time. Over the last month or so we've been increasing the amount gradually so we're now up to 12 biscuits each (yes, twelve!) and so far they're tolerating them absolutely fine! We're going to keep increasing but so far, things are looking good.
Hooray!
N.B - we did have one bad day with Dylan...I was putting some suet logs into a feeder for the birds and Dylan started hoovering up the bits of suet (with insects and mealworms in!) as I was doing it. He had a very runny tummy for a day or two after that, lol!
