feeding cats baby food -meats

[dfoster]

my 2 cats love gerber baby food- meats- ham,turkey,chicken etc.
they wont eat regular cat food no matter how fancy. Does it harm them to give them baby food meats? one is 11 , 1 is 4 years.

As a snack, no but there is not enough taurine in there to keep them healthy. What brands have you tried? I'd say Innova Evo would be good since it's the same consistency as baby food.

Yes it does them harm cats need amino acids that are only found in cat foos like taurine without taurine they will go blind there are hundreds of different kinds of cat food you must be able to find something they like

have you tried fancy feast or adding a liitle baby food to regular cat food?

I agree with Kathryn and Jim.....cats need taurine and also most baby food has salt added.

What brands of cat food have you tried?

[dfoster]

Ive tried fancy feast, iams, natural balance, science diet, friskies....
they wont eat any of them.....

dfoster,try Wellness canned(no grain) add a bit of water and it's just like baby-food,my cats used to eat Fancy Feast,but now eat 100% Wellness and they love it(most of the time).

I agree.....most cats seem to like Wellness the best.
