Hello!
I accidently put this message in the worng plae to begin with so if you see it twice I apologize!

My orange tabby is a very picky eater. I feed him Nutro Max for adults and also Beechnut Baby food, the chicken type. It has chicken, ground chicken and chicken broth listed as ingredients. When my other cat had cancer and had problems eating my vet said it was all right to feed this to him. I am just wondering if it's all right to feed to a healthy cat as long as you supplement it with dry food. I like to feed both wet and dry but have been unsuccessful finding a brand of wet that he will eat. We adopted him from the SPCA when he was 14 months old and had a real problem finding the right food. He won't eat anything else besides Nutro Dry and the beechnut baby food. Unless you consider plastics and string food!

Any opinions would be gratefully received,
Thanks!

As long as there is no onion in the baby food (sometimes there is a little to enhance the flavor) and as long as he is getting dry food there shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'd go as light on the baby food as possible just because it doesn't have taurine which is an essetial nutrient for cats. It is usually present in raw meat, but not in cooked meat, so after cat food makers process the meat they add it back in.
