It's generally recommended for ferrets so I continued the practice when we got the kittens. Right now I'm serving them 50% Drs. Foster and Smith Adult and 50% Innova EVO. Did Patches have any digestion issues with changing foods every other day? Pan's stomach is as sensitive as his feelings, so I have the additional issue of making his changes extra slowly. Luckily we haven't had hairball problems so far. I grew up with an Angora-mix cat, and I purposefully chose shorter-haired cats this time! I actually mix more than one kibble, Letha Marie.

He was having too many hairball incidents so I changed to some of the "indoor cats only" food whichI fed him one day then back to his "old" food the next. Surprise! He even nibbled some on the meat flakes in his can of food for indoor cats. He hasn't had a hairball since the change. I will be buying more of the indoor food for him when I am again where it is available. He likes the dry food too as I have mixed that with what I had on hand for him.

He might give me a few dirty looks, but it's gone in the morning! I think I spend more time making the cats' and ferrets' dinners than I do making mine. Good luck, Maxine!
