At the moment Indy gets a fair hodgepodge of foods
RC Young Male dry (the one for boys from neutering to 7 years old)
Whiskas dry (this goes in his kibble ball, not as actual meals)
Felix Kitten pouches, the selection with Lamb (his favourite)
Tesco Supreme Kitten pouches
Iams pouches (whenever reduced)
If I try feeding him just one brand of wet after 3 days he stops eating it and just licks the jelly/gravy off, on the mix he'll it all up... Hills wetfood and HighLife kitten are rejected and don't even get the jelly licked off... they get thrown across the room! I think Indy is a Yorkshire farmer reincarnated... prefers his meat plain and tasty, not expensive and fancy :innocent:
The RC dry food is the only food I found that keeps any weight on him, when he was on GoCat and Whiskas kitten he was thin as a stick and hyperactive... can the colourings in them do that?
On the RC he is calmer though still energetic, just not frantic... but he goes through twice as much as he needs as he bolts it down and then throws up... then cries til I take the nasty stuff away!
Several people at the show in Doncaster said they had the same problem with their Siamese/Siamese cross cats and said even though he is only 6 months I can mix RC Siamese into his current food to help slow him down and prevent the stuff-and-sick cycle
Oh yeah, his dry food was always available... he just picked random times to bolt it all down, but same happens now I feed him small amounts 4 times a day... it seems to be the speed he eats, not the volume
Already checked by the vet (who is amazing) and nothing wrong, apparently he just has a common 'Siamesie trait'
oh yeah... random Indy pic :Luv2: (http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r49/CityKittyFish/animals/B-W-1.jpg)
After all that... Is it ok for me to give him an 'adult' food like the RC Siamese since I suppose the RC Young Male is also adult but suitable from 5 months...??

I have the same problem with my kitten Pips (4 month old) He gets bored with one type of food :tired: , so I have to mix and change them around. He likes felix kitten pouches the best, sometimes science plan kitten pouches, ignores natures menu&whiskas, tolerates pah supermeat pates. But never more than 2 meals the same, then he just licks the jelly off&leaves the rest. He always has science plan natures best dry food available. Once or twice a week I give my cats raw beef (because some of these wet foods have only 4% meat in them). I'm not sure it's good to change the foods all the time, his poo is quite soft sometimes :sick: , I put it down to this constant change.

Indy is a very beautiful young cat :Luv:
-
It won't do him any harm to eat adult food especially as he's neutered as neutered kittens/cats have much lower energy requirements than their entire counterparts :)

I think if you change the brand and type of food too often it will cause tummy probs, a flavour change shouldnt.
Whistling in the air....................................its just a matter of finding a brand of food that they like!!

Are the kibbles too big for him? You could try any of their many many adult foods, any cat that eats too quickly will vomit, siamese or not, he looks like a normal DSH to me. The breed specific dry probably costs more :innocent:

Have found something called Joe and Jills, 34% chicken and not a huge amount is addetives
anyone else had experience with this?
-
I've tried the dry - mine don't like it
-
My 4 love the chicken Joe and Jill's, a few friends' cats won't touch it though
-
Mine werent as keen as they would normally be but its an OK food for supermarket stock, best thing is to buy and see what he thinks! They do small bags ;D
-
he is very 'meh' over it
but the sample bag RC Siamese has run out, and so has his other RC and I can't get to the nly shop that stocks it until Tuesday
