Fussy Cat

[lizzy87]

We adopted our cat Ollie in October and he goes off wet food after a few weeks. I change the brand and he starts to eat it all then goes off it again. We started with Felix, then Whiskas and now after a few weeks of eating Sheba, he’s barley eating this now.

He eats chicken and fish that I give him. When we start with a brand of wet food he eats everything in his dish then slowly starts to leave more and more until it looks like he’s barley touching it.

I’m not sure if he’s just fussy or there’s something else wrong.

Any help would be appreciated

Cats will by nature choose to eat a variety of foods, unless they only got one as kittens and decide only that is edible. As long as it doesn't upset his stomach I would choose several reasonable quality foods and rotate them - it is much better for them than eating only one, as if one is slightly high or low in specific nutrients another is likely to balance it.

Sounds like a very normal cat to me, he's waltzed into your life and immediately taken over running it.
