Struggling to get Alice to eat her prescription food

[Dawn F]

I got the worst cat food ever on sunday at morrisons - your cat or my cat or something it looked like it had already been digested!

I gave in - she was so pitiful 

I was raking around the cat food cupboard seeing if there was anything I could give her. I looked at Hills senior wet, Tesco Naturals, provet etc then found Morrisons own "The Best" lamb - it is 90% lamb with minerals & vitamins added (no cereal or dairy) - hopefully that will be OK? - she is eating it anyway

I think I will get some more to tide her over until the Eagle Pack arrives. I can't force-feed her the s/o food - the good thing is I can get the 33 in pet shops.

my vet recommended sensible 33 for tilly when she had her bengal tum - if alice will eat it it's better than nothing

The vet said her fecal samples are clear (subject to results from camphylobacter results in a few days)  so wants to try her on a sensitive diet. I already had some RC s/o both wet and dry that I ordered from vetUK. Yesterday she ate some although she wasn't mad about it. When I went to give her a bedtime snack, she was very vocal and rubbing round my legs etc. I felt bad but just left her with the s/o food. This morning, it was untouched and she was going crazy for food. I cleared the dishes and gave her fresh but the same food. She won't touch it  - I relented and gave her some RC sensible 33 (last of the bag) which she is eating. The question is, is the 33 good enough - I know it is a sensitive diet but not as extreme as the s/o. I will order eagle pack this morning and see how she gets on with it but in the meantime.......

I know some people say just leave it but I know cats can be really obstinate. My mum's cat ^sukie^ was supposed to be on a special diet but refused it. Her vet told her to give in after 5 days  - but she gave in on day 3 as she knew there was no way she would touch it.

(I did give her a bit of roast chicken last night as I'm sure that is OK?)
