Ok, I can try the "little blob of new food" next to the stuff he's used to. It's worth a try. My concern with mixing was what Lola said, that it would "ruin" the old food. Hopefully, sharing the plate with the new food won't "contaminate" it.
He doesn't like Stella & Chewy's, unfortunately (I told you he was picky!
) The duck PureBites usually crumble really well, and I've tried using the dust/crumbs at the bottom of the bag, but either he still won't eat it or he'll lick off the crumbs.
I have to confess, MC, that I am "kitchen-challenged."
I have no idea how to make broth. Maybe there's an organic one I could buy? I have no idea if he would eat it, but it might be worth a try. I think I have some chicken broth . . . I'll have to check the ingredients.
I've never given Pookie milk, since it's my understanding that cats are usually lactose-intolerant. His sister, when I had her, did sneak up to my cereal bowl once and started lapping up the milk while I was in the bathroom.
The next time I visit my parents, I'll try to pick up some Vet's Best, since I think there's a place near them that sells it. It's not an urgent thing, but it just BOTHERS me that I haven't been able to add anything else to the rotation. My pet food store has started carrying Dave's and Hound and Gatos, and he's just NOT interested.
Is it an age thing? He didn't used to be like this. It used to be he'd eat just about anything I gave him.
Thanks for the suggestions, and PLEASE keep them coming!
