Hi, my cat is very finicky eater because I didn't feed him well when he was a kitten before, so that's why. Now, I'm planning to get an another kitten. But I'm afraid for mt kitten that he might be like Wilkie, a very finicky cat. How can I avoid my new kitten from being a picky eater???

Choose one brand of food, or a couple flavors of the same brand, and feed that exclusively. Pick a food that has a named protein source of animal origin. Avoid by products or meat meals. Stay away from store or discount brands as these typically contain low quality ingredients and more fillers. Feed on a consistent schedule as opposed to free feeding or allowing grazing throughout the day. Do not constantly change diets if/when your cat does not eat. This can create a finicky eater and may lead to gastrointestinal upset.
