Thank you for your reply. A question or two. If I am only to provide him with what he wants to eat, how do I know what he wants to eat except by making everything I may think he wants to eat available. How do I know he wanted pizza? When I provided a bit of the cheese and sauce he acted as though he had a sore stomach and didn't want to eat for the rest of the day. He wanted olive oil, of all things a couple of days later, he ate it and then today he doesn't want to eat when, following your suggestion I stopped deciding the healthy things he should be eating and when, and just some meat choices in front of him, and he started eating on his own.I followed it up with yogurt and the fatty acids. He ate different times during the day a little raw liver, some cooked beef roast, some cooked chicken. Following that I gave him what he wanted to eat. He smelled the pizza and was ravenous for some, I gave him only the easily digestible portions, no onion ,etc, and after that,he acted as though he had a sore stomach and didn't want to eat. After the olive oil, the same thing. Yet I gave him what he wanted. Is olive oil hard on any of the organs? If one is to increase the fat if decreasing the protein is that hard on aged organs, ie, the kidneys,etc? Leaving it up to the wisdom of the body, if a pet doesn't eat how long does one leave it at that before there's the risk of fatty liver disease? As for fish, is that not to be regulated too. If allowed, he would eat nothing but that because of the scent. I read somewhere where too much fish leads to an imbalance in the B vitamins because fish has too much, I think it's Vitamin B2. By allowing my cat to eat what(from what I'm able to provide thinking he may want to eat it, who knows if there's others things I don't know of) he wants and when he wants he seems to be eating more meat than his system can handle and some things that may be hard to digest. So, at this point, do I step in and limit the choices? I'm kind of in the middle of changing from one system of feeding to another so there are alot of unknowns and I'm seeing results from the change in the way I'm feeding that I don't know exactly how to proceed with. You input would be appreciated. Thank you.
