It might result in diarrhea or vomiting or you may not see anything. It depends on how sensitive Midnight is to food changes. If this seems severe, make sure to take him into the vets. Also make sure that Midnight primarily eats cat food (90% or more of total diet) as cat food contains special amino acids needed for heart health. I hope this helps! Please feel free to post any additional questions!
