It could be the cheese, did you just feed it the one time? Often if they eat too fast cos its sooo tasty they throw it back up  :tired:

I think eating to quick was the problem as i bought some at the weekend and so far so good tiggy and pippin are only having a tin between them atm too see how things go they have strated eating it a bit slower now they have had it a couple of days in a row

The applaws i tried was ckicken and cheese, I never realised that they could have a intolerence too certain flavours (bit thick i know  :shy:)

I know tiggy and pippin cannot tolerate fish as they are sick as soon as they eat it but now uv said that i believe that chicken may be the problem as after they ate the applaws chicken & cheese tiggyy was sick all over the kitchen floor  :sick:

Im going to PAH on saturday too stuck up on cat food as im nearly out of there dry so im going to have a look then,

What flavours may be more tolerable?

Sorry its took me so long to reply but we have been away for the weekend

If you have only tried Chicken flavour wet food, I wonder if they have an intolerance, in which case trying some of the more unusual meats might be an idea. Or if it is the fishy ones, they could have a fish intolerance.
Please spay your cat

I'm surprised applaws has upset their stomachs as it consists of nothing more than chicken breast, a small amount of rice and the cooking broth.  Does fresh chicken have the same effect?

Well, I'm a big fan of Schmusy (or should I say, Blip is) from Zooplus.  Very moist indeed and Blip has taken to it with unprecedented enthusiasm  ;D

Im suprised Applaws upset them, which flavours?

Sooty sounds like he has fallen on his paws  ;D

Its really trial and error but its important not to try a new food everyday

Wet food question

Another food question,

As you all know i have 4 cats
 currently Pippin & Tiggy only eat dry food this is due to them having poorly tummys when they were kittens they had lots of tests done and everything is fine just sensitive tummies they were put on to hils id prescription diet (i think that is what it was called) but after about a week they wouldn't eat it and just licked the gravy off so i spoke to the vet and they suggested i tries hills science plan dry done this they loved it and tummies became fine i then changed to PAH dry and tummies still fine,

I would really love to get them both too have a little wt food a day if possible, Any good foods that i could try that don't usually give poorly tummies? i have tried natures menu and applaws and they both upset there tummies.

Patch currently eats just dry aswell but this is due too her not eating ANY wet food i give her i have tried her on all stuff you can get from supermarkets aswell as aplaws and natures menu, So any really tasty foods i could try her on?

Last but not least sooty well he is just gratefull for any food that i gaive him and he currently has a small tin of applaws a day and dry the rest of the day.


Sorry this is such a long post
 :thanks:
