Alright, let’s talk about this high calorie canned cat food, ya know, the kind that plumps up them skinny kitties. I ain’t no fancy vet or nothin’, but I know a thing or two about feedin’ animals, been doin’ it my whole life. So, if your cat’s lookin’ like a bag o’ bones, listen up.
First off, you gotta understand why your cat’s skinny. Is it old? Sick? Just picky? Sometimes they just need more grub, plain and simple. That’s where this high calorie canned stuff comes in. It’s like givin’ ’em a big ol’ steak dinner, but in a can, and for cats.
Now, I hear tell there’s these fancy brands, like “Royal Canin” and “Hill’s Prescription Diet.” Sounds highfalutin’ to me, but folks say they work. They got special mixes, they call ’em “formulations,” that are easy for the cat to digest, and they pack in the calories. That’s what you want, more bang for your buck, more food in that belly.
- Important thing number one: Look for stuff that’s easy to digest. If the cat can’t digest it, it ain’t doin’ no good. It’s like eatin’ rocks, just gonna sit there and cause trouble.
- Important thing number two: More calories, that’s the name of the game. You want a can that’s got a lot of oomph in it. They say around 200-250 calories in a 5.5 ounce can is good. Don’t ask me how they measure that, I just know what I hear.
Some folks say wet food is better than dry food for puttin’ on weight. Dry food, they say, can have too much of them “carbohydrates.” I don’t know nothin’ about that, but if the wet food helps ’em gain weight, then that’s what you gotta do. You can even mix in some raw food, if you’re feelin’ fancy.
And don’t forget about treats! You can give ’em a handful of treats as a meal sometimes. Just don’t overdo it, ya know. Everything in moderation, like my grandma used to say, even when she was pourin’ gravy on everything.
Now, about them brands… I ain’t gonna tell ya which one is the best, ’cause I don’t know. But I heard tell of “Instinct by Nature’s Variety,” somethin’ about chicken. Sounds tasty, for a cat, I guess. The main thing is, it’s gotta be high in calories and easy on the tummy. You can always ask your vet, they know more than me about this stuff.
And one more thing, don’t just go changin’ your cat’s food all of a sudden. That can upset their stomach. Do it slow, mix the new food in with the old food, little by little. That way, their belly gets used to it.
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about high calorie canned cat food. Just remember, feed ’em good, make sure they can digest it, and give ’em plenty of calories. And if you’re still worried, go see a vet. They’re the experts, after all. I just know what I see, and I’ve seen plenty of skinny cats plump up with the right food. Just like feedin’ chickens, gotta give ’em the good stuff if you want ’em to grow big and strong, or in this case, nice and plump.
One last thing, remember ever cat is different. What works for one might not work for another. You just gotta keep tryin’ till you find what makes your cat happy and healthy. And that’s the truth, as sure as I’m standin’ here.
